Fish in mail over weekend.

So I ordered some multis online and the seller said they would get to me on Thursday but the tracking number says they'll get here on Saturday at 9 pm. The problem is my mail closes on Friday at 5 and doesn't open till Monday. Will they be ok? Is there anything I should do?

You can also call your post office and let them know you have the package arriving and are concerned.  Mine offered to call me as soon as it came in so that I could come in and pick it up (even in off-hours while they were not open for customers but were sorting mail).  It's up to your post office of course.

I recently won some rainbowfish on Aquabid. The tracking estimated Thursday delivery, and by Tuesday night they were already within 50 miles. 

Then they seemed to vanish for 4 days. 😤 

It was a holiday weekend, so the fish wouldnt show up until Tuesday. I was convinced they'd all be dead.

Tuesday came and my fish all arrived alive! The sender had made sure they were individually bagged just in case. He said they can usually make it 11 to 13 days.

Good luck to you!

I got a text from usps that they arrived to my post office! But when I went to pick it up they said they haven't processed it yet and it could take a few hours and possibly over the weekend.

usps never fails to fail!🙈

I ended up getting them at 4:30 on Friday after standing in line for over an hour. 

They have been really active, going in and out of their shells and exploring the tank but as soon as I point a camera at them, they freeze.

Yep, and they're getting worse.

One advantage of living in a very rural area. Our post office only serves a few people. I know the guy inside on a first name basis and he'll do stuff like calling if I have a package or hanging late 5-10 minutes if an elderly neighbor needs a package or something. When I lived in a major city visiting the post office was a chore at best.

Might just be where I am, but ever since COVID happened and the initial rounds of mail delays ensued, USPS seems to be delivering 7 days a week for me now. I'd give your local post office a call, most of them are open on Saturdays for a few hours, maybe even Sunday (though they might be closed for counter service and possibly just delivering packages and mail.)
