Thanks, I had to take down my display take for a renovation so all my colonies are stuck in my frag tanks for the time being so I will need to keep them trimmed :)

..trying to organize a Vancouver order to split shipping.. 2 of us so far, anyone else interested?

[luyi356661@hotmail.com]

can you ship to edmonton by air?

[devin99]

can you ship to edmonton by air?

Air as in Westjet? I had a problem with Westjet in the past not notifying someone that the package arrives.

I normally ship UPS overnight by noon with great success.

I'm in for a couple of frags if you are able to to arrange a group order. Thanks.

[chef]

I'd be into a couple if they are making the trip to Van

[devin99]

I think a box is heading out to Vancouver can you message c me fish as he is arranging at the moment.

Thanks
-Devin

[NIVLEM09]

Chef,c me fish and i are splitting the shipping cost,you're welcome to join in...

[j_chu]

Can I still join the shipment to Vancouver? Where is the pick up point? Thanks

[Bblinks]

Awesome guy to deal with. A+ you guy won't regret it. I have bought stuff off Devin several times and it has always been great.

[c me fish]

Hi guys. Devin is back from vacation on Dec. 1st so lets make that the cutoff date. For anyone else thinking about joining in on the Vancouver order, please ensure payment is sent by then. The order will be received at my place, by the PNE (PM for exact address) early next week.. exact day is yet to be determined.

[04V10]

OK, payment sent. The last I heard, I am the 2nd person paid. If c me fish is the last person, then we have 3 in this group order.

[chef]

I'm in. Any idea when they will be in BC?

[c me fish]

Hello gents,
The frags have been shipped and will be at my place by noon tomorrow. PM me for my address. I will unbox and float them as soon as they arrive. Please pick them up tomorrow evening.

[Samw]

Awesome. Thanks for organizing and receiving.

[c me fish]

Hey guys,
Sorry to announce this but the frags did not make it to my place today. There was a problem with one of the planes which did not allow enough time to load the package onto the delivery truck this morning. I have called UPS a few times to see what options we have (I even asked about picking it up from their depot) and was promised a call back but it's been a couple of hours now and haven't heard anything... I'll try again in a bit but things look bleak at the moment..

UPS tracking number 1ZF3T5120497683265

[Samw]

Hm, it should be at the depot in Richmond near the airport.

[Samw]

Try to call the depot directly.

http://goo.gl/maps/cu5SP

5960 Ferguson Rd, Richmond,
BC V7B 1M6, Canada
+1 604-295-8140 ‎

It is funny, the average quality score of UPS out of 77 users is 1 (where 1 is poor and 30 is perfect).

[c me fish]

So they have me running around Vancouver/Burnaby meeting drivers. To me it seems they don't actually know where the package is... on the bright side they are communicating with me now.. ...

The local depot isn't any more help than the regular client care number :(

[Samw]

Devin should file for shipping refund even if the corals survive by the time it is delivered.

http://www.ups.com/content/gb/en/resources/ship/terms/moneyback.html

Another rating of 1 for UPS. :(

[c me fish]

Sorry to report that the box is still MIA. They have asked that the shipper contact their tracking department to file a claim. I'll send Devin a PM now as well.

[devin99]

on the phone with UPS they said they found the box but chances of SPS making this long is slim. Going to try to file a claim lets see what happens.

This will be the last time I ship with UPS.

[devin99]

They said I need to wait for it to be delivered before they can do anything. Please let me know the moment it is delivered.

-Devin

[c me fish]

Frags were delivered a few minutes ago. Exterior box was wet. Contents were cold. Frags polyp-less :(. I have taken pictures in case you need them Devin, just let me know where to send them.

[chef]

What a waste of some beautiful frags. Not a happy ordeal for a coupla reefers :-(

[devin99]

Figured as much, can you email me the photos you have my email. Going to try to get UPS to pay for them. It may take a bit for me to remake these frags.

[reefermadness]

Curious how you make out with UPS ......I was under the impression if things went bad they will not cover the cost of the lost livestock because technically you are not even supposed to be shipping anything live without a special account. (I know everyone does though).

Was the wet box the cause of the delay or not related?

[Samw]

How is Canada Post Priority service?

Yeah UPS is not going to do anything for us, the box was wet due to UPS mishandling it, the package was also destroyed almost like someone ran it over

[c me fish]

Some frags arrived this morning :) Please come pick them up!

[c me fish]

Hello all,
I apologize to those that came by this afternoon that I was unable to meet in person.

As I have been asked to post, here are the shipment details: there were 11 frags that came in at 9:30 this morning. 2 were DOA and 1 which I'm pretty sure didn't make it either. The frags were labelled with each member's handle as listed below, but did not have the names of the corals themselves. The heat pack was still warm when it arrived.

REF:
1 for SamW
3 for J chu (1 DOA, 1 looked rough)
2 for chef
5 for me (1 DOA)

The shipping charges were initially calculated based on an even division per frag. The total shipping amount I paid for the first order was $50. Since I wasn't sure what the arrangement was between each individual member and Devin for the replacements it was a bit harder to determine the shipping charges for each member the second time around so it was kind of arbitrary. I did cover half of it myself though. If anyone feels this has been unfair I am happy to work something out with them.

For those who were short-shipped, it is something to be taken up with Devin and perhaps we can do that here but don't know if that's proper protocol, or if we should do that via PM... how is this normally done?

[Samw]

Thanks very much Carlos for organizing this. I'll PM Devin with my issues and see if it gets resolved.

[devin99]

Hi Everyone,

I did have to make subs as I didnt have all the frags that I shipped the first time around. I tried to make subs based on money sent, I provided some rare ReefRaft frags that I am sure everyone will be very happy with. Most sell for $40-$60 locally.

I apologize that UPS had issues with the first shipment but I hope that everyone is happy with what was replaced.

[Samw]

Ok, thanks for the effort. I think however, if you were planning to provide substitutes, we would have to come to an agreement first as i might have picked something else than the one I received. I generally won't buy acro frags for more than $20. This is why I chose to opt out of the Reefraft Group Buy on Canreef.

At no point did I expect a Tenuis frag to be substituted for the 2 frags that I ordered nor was I told that my frags will be substituted. Imagine my disappointment when I picked up my order and got none of what I ordered. So your proposed solution is for me to resell my frag on Canreef to recover my costs? I will try but that is not how I wanted to handle this.

[Samw]

I understand that the original problem with UPS isn't your fault. However, you did get a refund for the shipping cost from UPS so if you had given people refunds for things you don't have instead of forcing upon them what they dont want, you would have been no worse off than the loss of some frags which grew from your colonies.

Do you really think that is all I lost was clippings from my colonies. Lets look at this for a moment.

Shipping $76 first time refunded
Styrofoam box, shipping bags, cardboard box - $25 Not refunded
Heat pack - $7.50 not refunded
20min drive to UPS depot both ways - $xx not refunded
hours on the phone with UPS to figure out what has happened and get the shipping refund
$100's worth of coral that could have been sold locally lost

So yes shipping was refunded, everything else a total loss, I was out of pocket reshipping a new shipment to everyone and you complain because I attempted to make things right?

[Samw]

Could you not have told me ahead of time before you decided what was best for me and let me pick replacements instead? So I should be happy with what I got? Seriously? You still have the parent colonies of what I ordered and you could have just made clippings from them and sent those to me. I'm not complaining at your attempt to make things right. Its not like I asked for a total refund.

I'd like to hear from others in this group order.

I am not a frag chop shop so I only cut coral when it makes sense to cut them and yes you could have waited until they were ready to be cut again but you may have waited a few months or more depending on the growth cycle.
