Rmsd

Just to make everyone aware that a spider I posted to Roy and Abi via RMSD arrived a day late (Macrothele gigas).
Good job I put a heat pack in.
The spid arrived Ok but even RMSD is not certain to get there the next day as I nearly found out to the poor spiders cost.With the cold weather coming,it is something to think about before posting me thinks.
So just be careful guys.
I have filled out a claim form but considering the spider could have perished......does not mean much really.

Certainly something to consider, thanks for the heads up!

You're unlucky there Paul, during the postal strike, I posted out and received 5 rmsd's having been assured by the main post office that rmsd was operating normal, and I have to say that all of mine both received and sent, arrived in good time. One actually arrived at 9am, and the rest all around the 10-11am mark, which was actually earlier than I've usually received them when the post is working normally. Maybe it's down to deliveries in specific areas.

Maybe Linda but with the cold weather coming,it may something to think about.
I have 4 more spiders to post on Monday and Tuesday then after that,I will not be posting anything until next year.

I think you're probably wise even with 30hr+ heat packs, it's still going to be a risk. Funnily enough, we had a parcel delivered at mid-day today, and we asked why they were delivering today, and postie said it was because of the build up in parcels, they do a Sunday Morn, to clear them, so busy already.
