Hey Joe,
Who did you use as the shipper? When my male Suri was sent to me he got lost. He was shipped on a Thursday for Friday delivery. He never showed up on Friday and Monday happened to be a holiday. I thought for sure that he was going to not make it. When he showed up on Tuesday he was pretty cool, but I warmed him up slowly and he pulled through. I was so pi$$ed. The seller was very good through the whole ordeal. Today he is doing fine.
I hope you have the same luck.

I bought a male het from jeremy stone a year and a half ago in february,it was supposed to be here wednesday and never arrived until saturday,i called every day at least twice a day and they still tried to bill me for it.The box had my name and address plus phone number on all four sides and the top with a red sticker with a note for delivery at 10 am or beforenext day,when i got him it was in the low thirties,i thought he would be dead for sure but i warmed him up slowly and he did get a R.I.,but he's alright now and just got done breeding three female hets for me.

I'd like to remember which is why I've switched to only using 60 hour heatpacks for this time of year. Sooner or later the package shows up as I've never lost one permanently. If you think the airlines are the only way to go, guess again. I've had supposedly same day guaranteed delivery not show up until the next day several times also.
