As of Sep. 09, 2009 Express Mail containing live animals is NOT guaranteed to be delivered Next Day (or 2-nd Day for some destinations).

The Express Mail containing live animals could be delivered up to 3 days late. USPS will not issue a refund for the shipment if the box was delivered within 3 days.

If Express Mail containing live animals is delivered after 3+ days late there MAYBE a refund. Depending on circumstances (?).

Next Day delivery cold be delayed because they look at all the boxes on the plane. If some of the other boxes contain certain chemicals the boxes with live animals wait for the next plane.roflmao

Priority Mail shipments have no guarantee whatsoever. If delivered after 3+ days you can't get money back.

Note - all refunds are for the shipping charges only. NOT for dead animals. You can insure the package when sending it if you want.

If you decide to not tell USPS you are sending live fish and the box is late USPS will refund your money. As a philosophical USPS customer service character told me on the phone yesterday "if you lie take your conscience to your God. Have a nice day."

Don't be to hard on the postal service for this....They contract the express mail to fed X. They are the ones that are making these decisions. The post office will do everything in its power to get then to you on time.
