You are not going to believe this. I almost donââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t. I bought $200 worth of Ricordea from a great guy on ebay this weekend and it was supposed to be delivered overnight today. This is the UPS tracking information today:

Seriously I am sick to my stomach and so sad. This is so horrible. Can you believe this? Pretty weird, huh?

sucks!

 

[Azurel]

Have you called them? That sound a little suspicious to me.

 

[boboshempy]

Yeah, they are taking full responsibility. They say it has just gone missing.

 

[bamsickle]

VERY suspicious.....

***!! Holy cow, I'd be mad. Doesn't sound right from the description UPS gave.

From now on, USE FEDEX. They are great for overnight.

 

[Ghumbee]

Any money the bags leaked.

 

[Freyr]

Suspicious... Maybe somebody in the mail room wanted some thing cool for their tank. Sorry about your misfortune.

 

[mikekman]

hey, any updates on this? Did you get your money back,etc?

UPDATE:
As of this morning the refund has cleared in my PayPal account so I assume the person that sold me the items has been fully reimbursed by UPS or is on his way to getting a refund. That goodness for insurance.

Still an odd story though. It is a shame to loose all that irreplaceable product.

 

[mikekman]

Glad you got the refund. Use Fedex next time. I use them and get great service. Hopefully this incident didn't turn you aside from buying corals online.

Wow, sorry to hear that. UPS is usually really good about livestock shiping. Good to hear you got refunded at least.
