DOA

[DaSauce89]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo The two Girls that Synirr got me.....came today.....Dead.....

Aww man that just runined my day.......I was so happy.....sigh....this sucks

 

[wuvmybetta]

So sorry to hear that,for both of you.

 

[DaSauce89]

Thanks.......Sigh I'm so tempted to get 2 more but..... no $$$

I guess its gonna be a long time til i get females than

 

[Synirr]

I'm so sorry DaSauce89, I don't know what went wrong... I packed them like all the others, so I guess it was a problem en route. Maybe they got left out in a hot mail truck for too long or something?
It baffles me that the group that took 8 days to reach redbetta in Canada made it, but you and Kara have both received DOAs

My package was damaged so I was expecting the worst--the USPS must have been especially careless.

 

[DaSauce89]

Both Bags....were leaking when i open the box, that might have been the problem


They looked so innocent

 

[afireinside]

Sorry man...
The unnamed bettas

 

[SandyMushCowgirl]

Sorry DaSauce. little girls.

Both Bags....were leaking when i open the box, that might have been the problem

Ugh, WTF? I double bagged them! This is so strange...

 

[DaSauce89]

When i took out the first girl....the water dripped down my air I think the inner bag might have popped then started to leak.......but Im confused how did the inner one rip....but not the outside one

Either way.....RIP...........

>__> I dunno but like I said in a thread......my mother offered me to get 2 more.......cuz she wants some and my dad too

But im scared this will happen again so Im having second thoughts

 

[redbetta]

Wow I am speechless, that is indeed very strange. I had already thought that all of mine would arrive dead but they had no stress stripes or anything on them. I'm so sorry dasauce, trust me I was going crazy those 8 days.
And yeah USPS is veery slow if you ask me, but I guess I'm biased right now cause mine took so long to get here.
RIP lil fishies

Awww that sucks.

Lemme ask this....how big of a box were they shipped in?

Mine was shipped in a very small box...not to knock your boxing Synirr..but usually they come in a bigger aquare box...so that if they are jossled around, dropped, squished, ect...it won't be so rough on them. I've got so many it's unreal...and the packing that goes in them. If you need a couple let me know and I can send them to you.

Perhaps they were thrown around or something? And it just was too much for the bags.

 

[DaSauce89]

They came in a popcorn bag/box thing

 

[Synirr]

Yeah, I had to ship them in a rather small box because the UPS store was out of the ones I had been using and everything else they had was big enough to carry an extra fee... that may very well have been the problem, I never even thought of that

 

[The ultimate_fish MaC dAddY]

just wondering what does DOA stand for?

P.S. how often do bettas arrive dead?
