Severe Weather Affecting Shipping

[DFS/LA1]

With severe weather expected in multiple areas of the US, and with our concern over the safe and timely delivery of livestock we will be holding orders shipping to the following locations: Rockies in Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan. Through central Minnesota and into northern Wisconsin 12” of snowfall is expected with gusty winds and snow drifts reaching depths double the accumulation or higher.

We are also watching the weather in the East and will check the following states early tomorrow: Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. A path of severe weather is headed that way to include damaging hail, tornados and severe thunderstorms.

Severe weather not only affects the surrounding areas it causes air traffic congestion across our nation. This congestion often causes delays in delivery to locations not in the severe weather areas.

We are contacting all the effected customers and arranging alternative delivery dates for them. For customers placing orders today we have a delay notice posted on our home page: http://www.liveaquaria.com/

Thank you for your understanding,

We certainly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding regarding the holding of their shipments due to severe weather.

After looking at several national maps to include the hourly movement of the storm systems we have made the following decision regarding shipments scheduled for delivery March 2nd, 2007. We are holding shipments going to Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa due to snowstorms that will continue through Friday. In the East we will not be shipping to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and New York.

We will reassess the weather tomorrow morning as well as throughout the day to ensure that our livestock will be delivered on time and in safe conditions across our nation.

Thank you,

Thank you everyone for your shared concern regarding the safe and timely delivery of our livestock and for supporting our decisions to hold shipments to states that experienced severe weather.

The storms affecting our region have subsided so the Coral Farm has resumed shipping.

In the East we are still concerned with the storms in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine and have decided to hold orders shipping to those states.

Our next update will be Monday morning.


Thank you,
