Bummers.. we all played the ship it and and wait game. Can be very stressful. I've never dealt with USPS for overnite delivery. Just UPS and Fedex. Your testimony will steer me far, far away from them. I have discus shipped to me and they've always been fine.
It is also a testimony to your shipper. They did a great job in packing for you. Can't wait to see the schoal. Got me thinking that I need more now.
