will they survive?
Ok here is the deal.
I won some auctions on ebay for some Purple Digitata, Lite Blue Stag Horn, and a Green Acropora frag. The Items shipped at 4PM on Tuesday, and I won't be able to pick them up from the post office until tomorrow morning. So they will be sitting in the post office and in their bags for 40 hours. The post man decided not to tell me about the package that he "attempted" to deliver to me this morning when he brought my other package to my door this morning. So I did not find out that it came in today until after the post office closed.
I have ordered from the person before and they do a great job with their packaging.
So do you think the stuff will be alive still tomorrow morning?

I think it will be ruff, but I do think they will survive, at least some of them.

My mail man guy is bad. He always leaves letters say he attempted to deliver in the mail box but I think he's full of it cause I'm always home and think he's just to lazy to come down my long driveway. I hope they make it.

Well I am hoping that everything works out. I am really keeping my fingers crossed on this one. The temp has not been too bad here, so I might be ok.

The mail guy for me is usually pretty good, not sure what happened here, I was home all day.

Geez, there's no way they would've survived here in Texas at 104 degrees in the shade. I hope they make it! Let us know.

The way I look at it, I probably have a 50/50 chance of survival here. If the box was ever sitting out in the sun, then they are probably toast. The thing that really sucks is, I just tossed $50 down the drain if they don't make it.

Well 2 out of 3 made it. The Purple Digi and the Lite blue stag. Too bad the color of the purple digi is no longer purple, hope it comes back soon.
