Not happy with my first time ordering shrimp. Delivery said it’ll be here tomorrow, but later changed to today as it’s said it arrived. Then a couple hours ago it said it has been delivered, but there is no package, contacted the delivery place and they said it’s been delivered. It’s winter, snow is here, so if it’s been delivered to someone else by accident, don’t know if the shrimp will survive. Hoping that maybe they’ll arrive tomorrow, but doesn’t seem likely.

If the courier claims the package has been delivered then it probably will not show up tomorrow unless the person that the package was taken to is a nice enough person to bring it to you.....sounds like a grave error on the delivery person's part.

Does the seller have a DOA policy?

I’m pretty sure, I’ll probably try to get a refund/get shrimp to replace those if I don’t get the ones I ordered.

That’s what I’m thinking. I did a quick drive around my neighborhood just in case the package is at someone’s else’s house since that happened before with the house next door, but didn’t see anything.

It’s possible that it’s still going to be delivered tomorrow and the delivery for today was false, I guess I’ll see.

I haven’t had this happen with fish but it’s happened with other packages and every time the sell sent a replacement. I imagine that will happen here

Should I add the shrimp water into the main tank when I’m done drip acclimating? And would a small dwarf rasbora be ok with small cherry shrimp, I’m able to move him if not?

My shrimps came today ?, I guess it was just a mistake about yesterday

I doubt it was a mistake, and more about the delivery guy's quota. So what I found with delivery folks is that they will mark it as delivered, even though they didn't deliver it because they ran out of time. It will sit in their delivery vehicle until the next day.
 
I would just net the shrimp in, you don’t want any of that store water in the tank. Rasbora should be fine.
