Most of my stuff gets shipped and I have had very few losses.

In fact the only major loss I've had was when a plane went off the runway in Toronto and it delayed my shipment

I have bought twice from Toronto and twice from Calgary. One of the Toronto purchases was during a very cold spell. I am at 100% survival.

Coral Master has a 10 day guarantee and in the rare instances there are issues the replacements are shipped for free. I'm not sure how much more risk free I can make online purchasing.

You know I have ordered a lot online, only had a problem once.... With that vendor that this group buy was for. I just don't think the buyer should have to pay for shipping on the new frags that replace the dead ones. It's not the buyers fault, why should they have to pay.

And I paid a lot more than 10 bux a piece when I ordered a while back!

I've ordered from Calgary and Toronto and had no major problems. I have had frags come off their bases and had frags broken, but no losses.

I recently did two frag orders, one from Coral Master, out of 23 frags I had two Blue Sky Acros rtn within days of arrival, everything else is doing good, the second frag order was from Fragalot, 25 frags, lost 3 on arrival (bags broke in shipping) and 3 the next day, there are two looking questionable and the rest look good. I guess you get what you pay for, the Coral master order was well packaged and still warm on arrival (Purolator), the Fragalot order showed up cold and leaking (Fed-ex) (almost the exact same shipping time) I don't think I will be doing anymore mail orders, I can appreciate the fact there are people selling reasonably priced frags, but that is over $100.00 in losses in just two orders.
