Best company to ship corals with?
- Thread starter EyeReef
- Start date
Because when shipping ground, if UPS screws up, they just delay your delivery date. On more then one occasion, I've had a delivery date & UPS has messed up & misrouted the item. Instead of going the extra mile & doing what it takes to make their customer happy & HONORING the delivery date, they just reschedule your delivery date to a later date. I'm actually going thru this right now. I was SUPPOSE to get my lights today, but once again UPS screws up & misroutes the shipment & delays my delivery date to Monday.
This is why I will always give my money to Fed Ex. They may have damaged a few shipments w/ me, but they always honor their delivery date.
Besides UPS stands for "You Park Shitty".................. :beer:

FedEx Express does not accept live-animal shipments as part of its regular-scheduled service and does not transport household pets such as dogs, cats, birds and hamsters.

They all suck in my experiance. They could care less about your animals. I had a customer call and tell me the driver rolled he box up the drive way even though it clearly said live fish on 4 sides. To make it worse both UPS and Fedex will tell the customer they will cover damage if the animals arrive dead, but they will not pay a cent! I had them deliver a totally crushed box to a customer. It was sogy wet but no water was in the bags. They would do nothing, even though it was clearly thier fault. They will only give credit for the shipping charge. Tthe customer thinks your not out of pocket when you are big time.
