Chicago Discus

Ok this was a mess,
We shipped a bunch of boxes out on Wednesday via FedEx with a delivery for Thursday morning. As usual my Aunt tracks the packages like an expecting mother until they get to there destinations. All was fine until one box containing five discus had no movement out of Chicago en route to a small town in Montana so we got on the phone with Fedex very late Wednesday night and they assured us that the box was fine and on its way to Montana. Very early the next morning we still didn't see any movement from Chicago so we contacted our agent with FedEx and after a very long wait on the phone she said they didn't know where the box was and she would call us back because they needed to put a trace on the box. Miranda and I hung up the phone and were devastated.
An hour later the agent called us and said I have good news, " I found the box it's in Memphis" the bad news is that the box is in a container and the earliest we can have the package to Montana is Friday. We both were saddened by the fact that our poor fish that we raised and grew out to nice looking discus were going to die. We called the buyer up and explained to him what had happened to the Discus and asked him if he could meet the box at the Fedex office.
Well I'm happy to say that at noon our time we received a call from the buyer who stated that the Discus were alive and well and in his tank. I wanted to share this story with you guys of the amazing two day journey from Chicago to Memphis to a small town in Montana that these five Chicago Discus were on...:):):).........Josie
