???Live rock shipping times???

[skinz78]

I ordered a 50lb batch of live rock on sunday and I found out that the company shipped it out yesterday. The problem is they used dhl ground and they are in florida, I live in north west Washington. Dhl tracking says the scheduled delivery is aug 28 wich means a full week in shipping! is this too long??? will my rock arrive and be dead?? should I demand my money back even if it is alive on arrival?? does pay pal help out when it comes to matters like this??

thanks
chris

a week does seem like a long time in the summer, was there other shipping options or does this vendor automatically ship this way? really i think youll have to see it (smell it) to find out, i think that it will take longer to cure but you should be ok, my friend ordered rock in the winter that was supposed to be held at the store but it went to his house and sat on the porch all morning in 20 degree weather and even had frost on it, all turned out well with his but he did get some reibursment from the shipper
