I can only tell you my own experience (over many shipments). I've yet to get an observably diseased fish from DD, and my overall success rate is 90% plus. Not so good with regular LA, though still better than 75% disease free. If I did not do a thorough QT myself, I'd have introduced two strains of ich, one strain of velvet, lots of flukes and most damaging of all uronema (though not all from LA). If you cannot or will not do a proper QT then so be it. Short of buying from a trusted local reefer, DD is your best bet if you're going to skip QT.
