That's what I try to do too, or I ship with Greyhound which delivers 24/7/365.

On a side note, How long will corals survive without light? My tank been 3 days without lights now, possibly another 2-3?? I sold my lights, an bought another set, but waiting arivall. I keep the living room fan light pointed to the tank to give them some light.

living some were that landing a plane is a 50/50 shot (depending on how low the clouds are) and seeing how Fedex is....I think I will use greyhound from now on as well.

If you use greyhound pay the extra $15.00 and get the next bus out service. If they happen to have alot of freight your package will be on the next bus and won't get bumped.

People have said that Greyhound is very reliable... I have yet to buy corals online (or by phone or whatever), partially because of where I live. Air service here is through Bereskin Airlines, and perhaps Calm Air, so maybe Greyhound is a better option for me (or STC, since we get those buses also (gotta love border towns

)?

Have you got the corals yet? Hope it is okay.
