I am a realist and although I am careful I do make mistakes.



Most notable one was this year, sent a small group to a buyer that I also had sent some to last year. Same address, same phone number, cool. Just checked weather and it was good so I shipped. The following day I was checking tracking like I always do (I typically know it's arrived befor ethe phone call or email arrives) and it's the only one not delivered. Also the tracking looked a little off but that's not exactly out of the norm. So I contacted the shipping co and oh crap, they'd changed their routes and now that same address that was next day delivery last year was now a 5 day transit. Tried a few things but to no avail, had to sit back and wait, nothing else I could do. I did ship on Monday but 5 days is 5 workdays so they were actually "scheduled" to arrive on the following Monday - expletive deleted - they were gonna be in shipping for an entire week. Temps were not bad but no water..........aaarrrggghhhhh!!!





They ended up arriving on Thursday, only three days later and they were just fine, I was a wreck though.



One good thing came out of all this, I know a healthy baby BRB can survive at least three days in shipping assuming temps are not bad.
