kimberbee Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 They ship Fedex and signature required. Go online and find your local Fedex Kinkos and have them ship to there. Or have them shipped to your work! No way I'd ship to my work... Stuff sits on the trucks forever. They deliver to highrises all day long spending an hour or so going up each building. Too cold!! I usually wouldn't consider buying anything nov-mar but some of the ones they have now are beautiful!! Link to comment
burtbollinger Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 so, you just kinda placed the flowers around the tank to fill in spaces? they seem very cool... Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Oh duh... How did I forget the 25% off??? How do I get them to hold it at UPS? How do I know what UPS they will hold it at? How do I know if they send FedEx? I don't know these things Umm ... ask...??? Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Wow! 14 of them. Lovely!!! To me it's just a thrill dipping in the water, it's like coloring Easter eggs. As they go in the water you're in awe. Link to comment

Stuff shipped express will typically have a time guarantee. For larger cities, it's 10:30AM or noon, and usually businesses will get hit first, so it's likely it would get to your work faster lol.

I called VIP reef and the person who answered the phone was unsure how I could get them to hold at a FedEx facility. They are supposed to call back, but that was over an hour ago that I called them. I don't want to miss out on the two RFA's I'm eyeing... Link to comment

kimberbee Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Saturday delivery for 15 extra dollars? So smart. That's worth the extra $15. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I do pick up delivery at Fed and UPS all the time. Just google "Fedex near me" or "UPS near me". If it's not too far, pick one that's a distribution center. Then give whoever you're ordering from that address instead of your home address. So they would ship to: Kimberbee UPS Distribution Center ble, blah Chicago, IL xxx Track the shipment and when it says "delivered", go the the pick up office and ask for it. They'll need your name, possibly the tracking number, and an ID to prove it's you. The nice thing about doing it this way is they almost always get it at the shipping center by nine or ten in the morning, and it's stored inside until you pick it up. When I ship to the Fedex right next to my office, I pick it up at 10 and take it home at lunch time. When I ship Fedex to my house, it's on the truck all day and it doesn't come to my house until about 5:30. Link to comment

When I ship Fedex to my house, it's on the truck all day and it doesn't come to my house until about 5:30. Is this next day? Both UPS and Fed Ex have guarantied by 10 here. I had UPS drop off at my work once at 9:30 then they showed up again around 2 so I asked the driver why did you not give me both packages.................her response we are supposed to get all the priority packages out first............ok well that's just stupid if you are at the same place............no wonder shipping costs so much Link to comment

With my luck, I'd have it shipped near the house and then my train home would break down... P.S. Did anyone see they added gorgs last night?!?! Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 What's so cool is that as they grow they change, some colors get more intense, some lessen. I've also had straight tentacles and once the nem was 2" they started barbing, so you just don't know. And then later you have the fun discovery of watching your nems spawn and then babies! Oh, and some are so crazily dimply! Link to comment

shaneandjohn Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Great looking Nems Lawn, good choices sir. John and I have been thinking of doing a species only, nem tank ourselves. For the Nem people of this thread, What would be a good tank for this? Would a 10 gallon Fusion be a good tank for this, because I think that's what John wants? Advice? Shane Link to comment
