I love CSI, just as i was looking at the pictures in photobucket i realized exactly what has happend...when he sent me the shippment he sent it USPS ans the shipment was returned to him as undeliverable address... so he had to re-ship the corals... i thought that he had just messed up the address and the shippment was returned to him...now i see what realy happend... if you notice this box :

thats what arrived to my door... well inside this box theres another box which is wrapped in a garbage bag, at first a thought this was a good idea in case there was a leak. But now i noticed it was to reship the item that was returned to him because the box was LEAKING!!! not for a mistaken address... look at the 2nd box that is soaked and has LIVE CORAL and USPS shipping labelling all over it,l ook up to the first post... that was the original shipped box that leaked!!! he just wrapped the box with a garbage bag and paced it in a new box so the post office wouldnt return this one!!! Aint that something... i will be contacting paypal with my new findings...

Wow thats a nightmare. If I was the seller and my box came back to me like that I would have put the corals back in my tank, contacted the buyer and offer a refund or reship. If they still wanted them, I would reship once the corals were completely recooperated.

Although, unless a 400lb fat man jumped up and down on my boxes, I don't see them leaking like that.

How can you get a package back from the shipper(probably at least one day until you get it back) wrap it up without looking at the corals, rebox it, and send it out?? That is absolutely horrible and completely disrespectful, not only to you, Jaime, but to our hobby and to reefs in general. Someone cares that little about our reefs to where he will willingly and knowingly destroy it? That is absolutely sad...good luck Jaime.
