    I received a call this morning at 6:30am to pick the fish from my local post office, it’s nice of them to let me do that since they open at 8:30am. All the fish are doing fine like they just got out a 1day shipping lol. I received 1 less fish, seller did mention that she might have missed one bag. I’m just glad they are all doing fine.

    Thanks everyone. They were shipped on June 11th and I received it this morning. Packing is excellent, fish were bagged individually.

    Thank God. I know the stress of a late or lost box. It's close to unbearable.

    That's great news Sanjay! Since they were packed so well and the problem was with the delivery do you mind telling us who you purchase the Cobalts from?

    Glad they arrived safely .. I’m not a huge fan of USPS for overnight fish delivery .. I’ve tried it it a few times and it always takes 2 days minimum

    Thanks Daniel ! I got them from Martha Morris. She is also a member here at Simply, sells Discus on Aquabid. Parents of these Cobalts are a pair of her own, and the line originated with a cross between a Forest cobalt and a Piwowarski snakeskin. So yes, I did receive couple of Snakeskins as well in this batch. Packing was done really well, which is what saved them.

    Its very stressful! constantly calling the USPS locations and numerous times I checked on the tracking, hoping it updated.

    Thank you Pat, fish are looking fine for now too early to say they are at 100% . One guy hiding since he got out of the bag.

    True ! I've had similar issues with USPS in the past.
