New future octopus owner

Hi

My name is Ben. I'm looking forward to being a new octopus owner. Have many years experience with saltwater aquariums.

Hi, Ben! What kind of set up are you thinking about adding an octopus to? Welcome to the group!

I was going to be setting it up in my 55 gallon tank, but there was a major problem with UPS. I had already ordered the octopus but 9 days later it hasn't shown up. Very unfortunate for the little octopus

I’m so sorry to hear that, you must be very disappointed! Shipping is really messed up right now- I don’t think I’m going to try ordering anything until winter is over!

It was. It finally showed up in my city two days ago, it still shows that UPS is trying to locate the item. I have never had this kind of problem with UPS before, but it doesn't help that the weather got so bad. However it seems to be a possibility that UPS initially sent it ground by mistake even though it was listed at overnight shipping. because if it had arrived on time it would have arrived here before the weather got bad.

So if I try ordering another one at some point it's going to be a while. This left a bad taste in my mouth
