Priority Mail Fast Enough?????

[bud29]

I'm thinking about getting a dwarf crayfish and the shipping costs are $5.65 for priority mail and $25.45 for express. I obviously want to go the cheaper way, but will that be fast enough? Will the crayfish live? Also, I'm planning on ordering from eliteinverts.com. Has anyone bought from there? What was your experience? Help would be greatly appreciated!


in advance

A lot of people ship fish and plants priority mail. Most of them end up alive.

However, it also depends on where you live. If you live somewhere were priority mail takes three days to a week to arrive, then you want to consider very carefully before shipping priority. Especially with more expensive items.

Where would these places be? I do remember ordering a tadpole through priority mail and it coming in 2 days, though....

You can check the USPS website to see if they guarantee priority shipping from the seller's zip code to yours. If they don't then you are one of those places.
