Another 100% live arrival shrimp delivery story

Post by Kenshin »

Usually it takes only 2 days for Petshrimp.com's shrimp to reach my house/work. However, this time it took 5 days :( (because of the Christmas holiday season) and I was starting to get worried. However, all the shrimps arrived today alive and kicking. Mustafa, you really know how to pack shrimps for delivery. I bet that the shrimps would still survive another 2 or 3 days in this freezing weather condition under your packing condition. :-D

I'm glad the shrimp finally arrived. :) As I always say, if everyone sold healthy, captive-bred shrimp and spent some extra money on good packaging, then no shrimp would have to die during transit. Instead you have an infamous website claiming that deaths are basically a "normal" part of shipping animals. :( That kind of attitude has no place in the aquarium hobby.
