Have read about shipping these things but looking for a little extra info for those with experience. Have shipped a few. But...have some things which I would like clarification.
Kordon breather bags for shrimp, snails and fish, good to use these, yes?
Kordon for plants, NO? Plastic fish store bags ok? Yes, NO why?
Heat packs, have 72, 60+ and 40+ hour ones. It seems they get pretty hot, so how should I package them so I don't cook and fish or shrimp, snails or plants for that matter. I am planning to use USPS flat rate boxes, possible hold at P.O. depending on weather and recipients postal service quality experiences. Wrapped with plain puppy puddle pads to absorb any possible liquid, bubble wrap and/ or some insulation foam board. Also I have a few styrofoam shippers on hand and can get more for $4. from lfs.
Any assistance to make sure everything is perfect is greatly appreciated!!!
