UPS Sucks right now

[BettaDragon]

I've had bad luck with UPS on many things that were luckily not live. My favorite shipping company so far is DHL but I've never had anything live shipped to me through them. They are extremely quick though.

Glad your little guys made it. I had a problem with fish being shipped all the way from Thailand last year. That was a nightmare and a half. I've been trying to pick up things myself whenever possible since then.

Yeah, shipping fish is stressful. I've recieved angelfish in the mail and I was breeding them for awhile. I pretty much refused to ship them. People think it's expensive to ship geckos? lol. Think of shipping fish...with water. It's anywhere from $120- Bla! You've always got to have about 10-20 lbs of water in a box....

I am so happy that this story resulted in a happy ending.

Uhg, don't you hate how you need those stupid bags? I was into bettas, they can at least breath normal air and it's actually safer to ship them in less water. What sucked about them is the really good breeders were all in Thailand. The cost is surprisingly not bad as the breeders there ship their fish together and cut the cost. It takes quite some time to get all those fish together though. The last time I bought fish from overseas it took three months total to get to me.
