Warning When Posting Bettas

[grahamsokel]

Just thought it would be a good Idea that when sellers are Posting Bettas during Holiday periods to make sure that there is Actually Post to the area they are posting the following Day.This will stop Beautiful Bettas from Dieing for no reason

Yea, most sellers do take holidays into account an ship accordingly. I know most of the sellers iv bought from only ship on mondays and tuesdays to insure that the fish arrives before sunday and doesn't sit at the post office for an extra 24 hours.

when my girlfriend and i ship fish we ALWAYS do it on a monday or teusday. also we have people ship to us on those days also. even though priority is 2-4 days, you can't expect it top hold true. the postal service is so unreliable at times that you have to give them extra days and prepare accordingly for possibl;e delays. one time my girlfriend shipped some fish top a girl that lived 3 hrs car ride away and the fish got to her in 3 days, while a person in california (across the nation) got hers in 2 days. i couldn't figure that one out. but yes most (i only say most because there are some people out there who just plain don't care) people will ship accordingly to holidays and no post days. so no worries.

That'd be me. A couple weeks after that, I got fish shipped to me from Tenessee and it only took 2 days... it is weird, but I think it's because for shorter distances they ship a box ground, whereas for a longer distance, they put it on a plane. Either that or between Kylie and I there's some lazy postal workers.
