Yea I know what you mean, their shipping is only $15... Which is extremely cheap for overnight. Well I emailed them just to be sure, so when I get a response back, Ill let everyone know.

It is not overnight shipping though. It states at checkout that it is 2-3 day usps. I wonder if everything would be ok being shipped here.

I just told him that yes it'll be priority shipping (2-3 day) Mushrooms are pretty durable as far as shipping goes. But, I told him to take pictures of everything before and after opening!

alot of online fish companies dont ship from like a week before christmas to a few days after new years, because of the increased shipping during those times.
this is what the sent me and Zach:
We use Priority 2 day shipping because the inverts can easily handle the
extra day, with fish it would not be an option. Unfortunately due to the
holiday rush and holiday postal closings we were not able to ship any
packages last week or this week to avoid delays, so normal shipping will
resume on Monday. Thank you again for your patience, happy holidays!

Actually, if you ask me that's the sign of a very good company. Yes it does suck that they didn't send everything right after getting the money... BUT................. With them holding off and evading the rush with the holidays it is going to better the chances of not only everything getting there but, with them holding off you better the chances of everything getting there on-time and alive. As far as the email goes... I'm sure they will respond to you. But, remember they probably got a TON of people to get in on that buy option because they had some really REALLY good stuff available for some very reasonable prices. But, they held off on shipping so they are probably dealing with the paying customers who are emailing first and worrying about everything else after. (just what I would do if I was in their shoes at this time)

It shows they are a good company like Jason says. Little screwy on taking the funds right away but your order will be much better by waiting through the holiday rush.

most online companies will take your money..and take time to ship..that makes sense to me...i just do not agree with things being able to take 2 to 3 days once shipped..heat packs only work so long..and if you have ever put a heat pack into a "sealed" box..it starts to lose some of its heat..idk..i really wanted to get those prices too..and i HOPE that all your orders arrive live and healthy...I just wasn't willing to chance it until I heard how your orders went *word of mouth works for me.

they really do have great prices...wish i could have afforded to wait longer...we went ahead and did a small cleaner pack build through fosters...it was with free shipping which helped...but still doesnt compare to what you guys paid...i have dealt with fosters before-therefore i am comfortable with putting my money there...i buy a few here and there from otp...but i needed a LOT and those lil buggers are not cheap  no matter where you get them!
