the shipping business has gotten so complicated...

As someone who ships over 100 boxes a week through USPS, I have noticed a considerable increase in packages lost in transit. USPS needs major reforms quickly or its only going to get worse. Roughly 3-5% of packages I drop off never get scanned into the system. Another 5% never get scanned until delivered. This makes it very difficult for my customers to predict when a package will arrive. Just last month a package headed to PA from NJ went all the way to HI, then to Utah, then to Florida before finally showing up at the customer's address. This was a priority mail parcel. Needless to say, the plants were DOA.

Aquatic Clarity finally has wc Chili rasbora. I want 15 for my nano tank. But alas it would be foolish to order the fish now. Of course by April the Chili will be all gone.

And once again, we mourn the local aquarium store, which could order in sufficient quantities to keep the fish warm. Our little, solo traveling fish boxes are very vulnerable to cold and to delays...
La Maison du Poisson in Montreal has Iguanodectes geisleri and some lovely corys. They'll have sold before I can get them too. Well, I hope they will have because that's a good seller I don't want to see out of business!
