Alright, let's admit it, we are all guilty of fantasy shopping on Aquabid (and sometimes even splurging!) I thought I would start a thread for people to show off their dream betta's, unusual colors, and exciting purchases!
yeah, I don't get why people don't click the 'buy it now' button more often! If I saw a betta I really really wanted...and it looked like others might be voting too..Uhh, sorry!
I guess people hope no one will bid against them and the bid will stay the same. Normally the bin price is higher then the auction price because the seller knows they may or may not be losing money doing bin. I did bin for my dragon plakat because I've seen how much the sellers dragons go for, I knew I'd be outbid. I've always done bin with fish I really want.
YEA I GOT THE BETTA !! am soo happy she also is in express shipping so it would come, in sunday? since new years eve is tomarrow, i can't wait how she looks in person >-<
I don't know about your post office but I'm pretty sure all of them are closed on Sundays. It being New years day they will be closed Monday as well. You won't be seeing your Betta until Tuesday if then.
Chard is correct. My husband works for the US Postal Service. All US Post Offices are closed on Sunday's and do not deliver any mail, even Express. Since New Years Day falls on Sunday, they are observing the holiday on Monday. If your seller were to send it tomorrow (Saturday) then it would arrive Tuesday at the earliest. However, based on the holiday weekend, the seller may decide to wait until Tuesday to ship him so he doesn't sit around in a post office for a few days. This would mean you would get him Wednesday at the earliest or possibly Thursday, depending on when the shipper physically delivers the fish to the postal service. For example, if you live on the West Coast and the seller is on the East Coast, then the seller needs to deliver the fish to the post office prior to 11:00a to guarantee a next day deliver clear across the country. But if the shipment isn't that far, then the seller can deliver it to the postal service later in the day and you could get it the next day. Unfortuantly "live animals" are not guarantee for next day delivery either. We usually receive them the next day, but the postal service has to handle them differently to insure a safe trip. So in reality, they can take two days to insure a live delivery. Worst case is the seller sends it Tuesday and you get him Thursday. Sorry for the long rant. Just filling in the details.
I saw him earlier, should have bid... Now someone else has. It'll look REALLY cool when he marbles full black with the red head and everything!
