Processing time for LiveAquaria

How long does it take usually for LA to ship your order from the time you press the "Order Now" button?

Trying to figure out if it's better to order start of the week or end of the week or weekend to make sure it gets here sometime during the week and I can be there to receive.

If you order after 9:30am CT, the order will ship the next day. Exceptions are orders placed Thurs-Sun; these typically ship the following Monday (unless Saturday delivery is requested).

Thanks, I've read the shipping details page but wanted to know how accurate it really is. Good to know that they do indeed follow those procedures.

It's all described in detail on their website: Shipping Information

When it's best depends on your availability. If you can be at home during the week, a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday delivery is best. Even if the delivery is delayed, it should only arrive just one day late.

Friday is the worst delivery day as the next work day would be Monday.

Saturday isn't ideal but usually the day most people have to chose that work during the week. If Saturday deliveries are delayed you will usually get the shipment the following Monday - not ideal but survivable.

Simply specify ship day when you order. The downside for LA orders is they may go out of stock in the interim. The downside for DD orders is their restriction on shipping delay.
