Online Livestock Vendors within the 1 and 2 day UPS Ground Area

[Reeferhead]

I thought this would make a useful thread and possibly a sticky. These are all online livestock vendors that are within the 1 and 2 day UPS ground area of Caseyville, IL 62232, $8-12 shipping vs $40-50 via overnight Fedex. I'm going to assume that many of these vendors are within the 1-day window for St. Louis as well. Please note that almost always you have to specify UPS Ground with the vendor when you order or you'll be charge overnight rates. Also, you often wave any live arrival garantees

Please add to this list if you know of anymore.

1 Day:

Premium Aquatics

Indland Aquatics

2 Day (for hardy stuff like Zoanthids):

Sharky's Reef

Rod's Reef

Does anybody have any of these? They are from Rod's Reef. They are the miami dolphins zoas.

What a clever name to get a Dolphins fan to buy Zoa's.

At this point a New England Zoa might be hotter.

Good looking zoa's none-the-less.

I have ones that are simuliar but the blue is quite a bit darker. I'm going to be up North in a couple weeks to visit family and plan on picking up a couple Onyx Clowns from Rod. If he has any of those zoas when I'm up there I probably pick some up as well. I'll let you know. If you see any "Chicago Bears zoas" let me know as well I understand your pain.

Do you have a pic of yours? If he has some can you grab them for me?

I'm horrible at pics but I can try. If he has them I'll buy them and we can split the coral and cost in half, deal?

Ok, thanks.

Exactly what I was thinking John. That's what mine look like when placed near the top of the tank.

 

[Reeferhead]

So does anybody know of any other than these four?

 

[Reeferhead]

Well, I probably won't be going up to Rod's this weekend, my wife has made us other plans but I think I may have him ship to me on friday. We're actually in the overnight zone for Fedex Ground. Its going to be a little chilly but I plan to pick it up at my local Fedex hub. If anyone is interested in getting anything let me know.

Where is Rod's Reef.
(edit)
Ok, nevermind, I found it.

Also remember that Dr. Fosters and Smith is from Rhinelander Wisconsin and it is only a 1 to 2 day delivery

 

[dphins]

When are you placing the order?

 

[Reeferhead]

shooting for a friday delivery, if the weather works out. I'll be picking it up at the local Fedex Hub in Collinsville to save time on the truck.

If he has any of your zoas, I'll be getting some and we can frag.

I just checked, they're in the 2 day zone for Fedex Ground

 

[Reeferhead]

Well, I won't be ordering with Rod, I talked to him today and he only ships UPS . I'm sure I'll get up there eventually.

Sharky's is within the Fedex Ground 1 day zone
