:screwy: . Did you check for a leak and did the shipper even bother double bagging it. People need to be more careful when shipping fish so stuff like this doesnt happen. Always double bag.

It was double-bagged and O2'ed, heated and packed full w/ newspaper. :*(
Well, I am sure the shipper will take care of the problem. That is the way it works. Shipper ships the fish and has responsibility until delivery. Dead fish = SHIPPER'S fault and liability. I am sure the shipper understands and is working to contact you to work out a solution....
 
I mean, it's not like the fish made it to the destination with even a remote chance of survival. No water = dead fish = shipper's responsibility.

wow, just goes to show that **** happens
 
wow sorry to see that .Ive a a few fh that arrived doa - from what i understand thier dorsal fin is very sharp and often can punture the bag.One guy Ive bought fh from has a really good way of preventing 'bag busting' he uses duct tape instead of newspaper between bags ,it helps to seal off any leak.
