Good as Dead?

You really just got unlucky. I would be PO'd in your position also, but I guess there is no one to blame but the Weather. But on the other hand, I would think that a huge shipping company would have insurance to cover these problems.
 
I hate to turn this into a shipping thread rather than a zoa thread, but thecichlidpleco did ask for other experiences. I work in a job that deals primarily with shipping (both going out and coming in). My best experience is UPS. They do occasionally drop the ball and drop it well. But their drivers are professional and the tracking is reliable. We have on several occasions seen the FedEx delivery guy taking naps in his truck and the DHL guys lie on their tracking information about delivery times and signatures. Just my $.02.
On a happier note, I'm glad the supplier is working with. Those are some beautiful specimens you picked.
 
You have to admit, the 13th, 14th, and 15th had TERRIBLE weather here in Ohio. My parents live up in the Sandusky area (only about an hour west of Toledo), and had 4' snow drifts in their driveway in the country, the evening of the 14th. I know Toledo got hit HARD too. Allot worse than we did down here in central Ohio. That said, I got a shipment on the 13th from UPS in the a.m. with no delays.

Glad the seller is working with you. :)
 
i would say that if they continuiously told you that weather wouldnt be a factor then they are still responsible for the death of the zoa's (how are they doing??) I mean if they would have came out and said hey i dont think your going to get these for a few days because of the weather then it would be a different story but since they didnt then i would say they should be responsible for it.

Just my opinion
 
Thank you for seeing it my way, but the zoas are done for. I may be able to save about 5-7 different polyps out of a 60+ polyp purchase. Anyone else take $400 baths, not as nice and refreshing as one would think.
