Default Frag shipping survival poll

Goes to this recent group order, wondering on average when get frags sent by courier (UPS etc) what's the survival rate?

I'm at 2 okay out of 5 when shipped, though 100% okay when had hand delivered by Snappy.

For my order in Calgary I have 100% survival 72 hours after arrival. A couple zoo heads are still closed but remain healthy. My SPS was showing polyps within an hour of being out of the bags.

I would not be happy with anything less than 100% survival. I paid for it, I want to recieve it in good order. Thats why I try to refrain from getting livestock in the winter months

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.
