Nuclear green Paly Die Off rate

[Steve-O-]

I just sent my paly colny off by greyhound i dropped it off around 10am from PG wasn't suppose to leave till 4pm my time. to richmond meaning he would have picked them up the next day in the afternoon.

Anyways had around 100 heads on it now there claiming to be 65 heads. My question is would the shipping affect the coral that long in a bag for survival rate of the small heads and large ones?

Just trying to find a answer to this problem is all.
((i know i know never ship greyhound because they screwup and stuff dies)) was what the buyer wanted

imo the price you were selling them for was a killer deal to say the least. hell i remember people paying $100 for 5 palys. **** happens in shipping, and even if 65 palys made it they still got a good deal.

also i have had stuff shipped for 20 hours, no problems at all

I sold them for $250.00 and now he wants $100 Back because its not all there. I kept telling him how is it my fault and no way im paying that much back when its worth almost $1000 but hey who am i. Not to mention with the price of the coral how do i know he isn't ripping me off there is money to be made

Shipping wasnt your responsibility.
65 Of those will pay themselves off in no time.
Tell him to stop being greedy and enjoy the 65 he has.

Post his address we will go teach him to be happy he got such a sweet deal.
(As in we, I mean someone not me, and a lot meaner looking)
Yah i doubt there was any die off and even if there was that much die off he should be happy they actually arrived alive considering his shipping method.

Hmmm, sounds fishy. Did he or she send you a picture right away?

How small is "small heads"?

what happens in shipping is not your fault as long as you both agreed that Greyhound was a good enough way to ship. those gray hound guys are not all nice nice to cargo. I would tell him to go pound sand, It was packaged and shipped to standard shipping practices in the hobby. I have 2 heads of these Nuclear green Paly came on a piece of Live rock with other zoe polups and some sort of SPS not sure what type yet but the puolups are very small. The rock had some other stuff on it that I was not intreste in so that was taken off and the rock started poping up stuff.

I agree with everyone. If he wanted to and agreed to greyhound knowing the risk, its not your fault at all. IMO selling colonies of zoas has always been the downfall to me. I sold this one fella 2 of my colonies for close to nothing and he could have turned around and chopped it up making a few hundred on top of what he bought them for.

$250 is a killer deal. I hate how people cheap out on stuff with private sales but at any LFS they will pay the asking price.
