  • USPS priority mail like the Bermuda Triangle

    I shipped 18 bettas to the Heart of Texas Chapter on Tuesday
    USPS delivery confirmation # 0308 2690 0000 9602 2870

    I sent 6 platinum whites, 6 orange dragon and 6 orange x pineapple.
    Tracking showed them received on Tuesday
    Tracking showed them on the Northwest side of Houston on Wednesday
    Then they dissappeared - never arrived
    Saturday tracking still showed them on the Northwest side of Houston.
    Today there is no record of them.
    Needless to say I will be in the Postofficefirst thing monday morning with my mad on and my tracking recept in my hand.
    'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
    He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                JR your tracking # shows your fish left Houston on the 13.
                Delvery com. is slower then overnight. But I would have felt
                they should have been delivered by Sat.
                Did you talk to the person you sent them to.
                Sometimes a carrier may miss the scan.
                They are also not scaned like express to keep up where they are at all the time.
                But is intended to let you know when they arrived at the ship to address.
                Good luck Jay

                  Well, they're back in the tracking system even if they are missing in action

                  They still aren't here. I've gotten fish from Rob in LV quicker. Don't know where they could have gone. Damn PO!!

                  As of Saturday morning we still don't know what hapened to them.

                          All bad news.

                          I checked with the local PO tuesday morning and they said they would be delivered later that day.

                          The package was delivered, but all 18 bettas were dead.
                          Even if I had used a 40 hour heat pack, it would not have lasted 8 days.
                          'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
                          He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                            Sorry to hear that, it's really tragic, poor fishies and with only the USPS to blame :evil:. With shipping service like that you could have hand delivered them faster.
