+mcallahan Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Can everyone on the order get in touch with me about when you were planning on picking your order up? I have to run some errands today (even heading south of the river) so I can probably meet some people out and about to save you time.

NonSequitur Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'll be at the ADC day surgery center (360 and lakewood.. my wife is having an upper/lower GI scope) until about 2, then I have to run my daughter to a doctor's appointment in Taylor at 3, back in town by 5 or so.. so I'll be running around, but I'm sure I can sneak away to either swing by your place or meet you somewhere.

+mcallahan Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Nothing yet...wondering who they shipped it to as USPS Express mail is usually here by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonSequitur Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Still nothing? I just sent John another email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexKilpatrick Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Well, it won't be coming tomorrow because of the holiday. If it was shipped, it is probably history. I can't imagine much will be salvageable on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NonSequitur Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Reply from John: Looks like it is still sitting in West Palm. We tried to cancel most of our shipment this week because we are experiencing gale force winds, but didn't cancel this one because of the problem of scheduling pickup. It won't fly tomorrow either because of the holiday, so it is safe to say it will be a huge disaster at this point except for the snails and macro. http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetWeb/InterLabelInquiry.do?origTrackNum=EO851221895US Then a second email: Actually since it is Express Mail it may be delivered tomorrow. I will get back to you on this, I have a lot of these emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 It isn't coming to me, 78748 is NOT my zipcode. Notice Left, November 10, 2009, 10:44 am, AUSTIN, TX 78748 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonSequitur Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Uh oh. Ok.. just sent John another email asking about the address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexKilpatrick Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I can just see this getting delivered to the wrong house; someone thinking they are going to get some cool stuff for free. I picture them opening the package -- "What is it? Jewelry? iPod? Camera? Ewwwwwww!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 That's my zip code, and yes I did have a pink slip in my mailbox yesterday. I received this note from John this am: Hi Michael, there is a major problem with the group buy shipment. Unfortunately because of the weather here (heavy wind gusts yesterday), the plane with your packages never left the ground and the package is still in West Palm Beach. The serpents, brittles, emeralds and hermits will not make it. The Chitons and limpets may, the snails and macros should be fine. Your area should have holiday shipment with Express Mail, so it may arrive tomorrow, but I can't be sure, and the post office is closed to calls. Keep me posted on the outcome, and we will proceed from there. I sincerely apologize for this trouble, and will update the group buy members at this time.

mFrame Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 So it looks like they tried to deliver to my place yesterday and left a note for pickup at my local office. I didn't get the notice until after 9, though, so I didn't pick it up yesterday. The Post Office is closed today. My plan is to go first thing tomorrow morning to get the package and try to get it up to Mark's house for distribution. We can individually let John @ Reefcleaners know what did and didn't make it. Anyone south want to serve as courier to get the box up to Mark? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonSequitur Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'll head south and pick it up from Mike tomorrow morning. I'd be happy to either drop everything off at Mark's house, or distribute them from my office in Cedar Park, whichever works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Jeremy and I met and picked up the reefcleaners order this am, it's on the way to Mark's house. Sadly the vast majority of critters did not make it, and several looked like they were barely hanging on. My 25 hermits were completely DOA. I'm contacting John about the order but you may each want to do so individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 These are the names on the bags: - Carrie - Alex - Steve Davis I don't know who Steve Davis is so if he'd get in touch with me about pickup, that'd be great. A fair amt of stuff still looks alive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexKilpatrick Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 My hermits were DOA but all the snails seem to be making it. I ordered 50 dwarf cerinths and I think he sent about 100. I put them in a cup in a tank and about half of them have climbed out. I also got some fuzzy chitons, which haven't moved but are firmly attached to the rock they are on. Shaving brush (macro) made it just fine, of course. I think I would be fine ordering snail through regular priority mail in the future.
