I know in time i will love a scoop of hb babies, when ever you have a scoop for me.

LizStreithorst

OK.  I have 4 of you plus George.  Please pm me your shipping addresses.  My heat packs will arrive Tuesday.  I can ship Wed.  I don't know how much it will cost yet because I'm debating on what size box to use.  I'm afraid of cooking the fish with the heat pack in the smaller CBW box.  I may go with the medium priority mail box.  It will be cheap, either way.  I'll let y'all know on this thread and you can Paypal me after I ship.
Always move forward. Never look back.

look for the 'regional C' boxes at the P O, or order them they're free...1 bundle is all you need now, but you'll like them, perfect size and ship at the large flat rate price, around $15.....you might think too big, but it'll give you leeway to 'box in box'....and room for a 72 hr heat pack between the styro and the outer box........less heat in the styro...box is warm....

I'll ask about them at my local PO in the morning.  Thanks.

I was thinking about putting the heat pack outside the styro.  I've never done it that way before but it should work during this time of in between weather.

I just looked up that regional C box.  You're right.  It's a great size for fish and they're free!  Free is great!  If my local PO doesn't have them in stock everyone may have to wait until they get them for me.  I sure hope my local hardware store carries sheet styrofoam.  I bet you a nickle that they don't.  I have some, but not enough.

I went to the 'Dollar Store" and found sm/med sized styro coolers for $ .99.....they'll work too...some are sturdier than others..tho.....take a quick look and see if something there might work???

My local post office had 2 of these boxes.  They said that the post office in the next largest town may carry them, but in case they don't, I ordered some on line.  They should arrive in a week.

My hardware store doesn't carry sheet styrofoam but guess what?  The guy 2 doors down from my shop had some in his trash can.  Thank God it wasn't a dumpster so I didn't have to dive for them.  Still felt like a bag lady raiding somebody's garbage can ::)

I tried to do the same thing.  I wanted 8 boxes so I ordered 8.  The usps site wouldn't let me order 8.  It would only let me order 1.  That's when I figured out that 1 meant 1 bundle.  Nowhere does it say that 1 means a bundle of 25 ::)

BTW, Anyone who wants these freebies needs to pm me with their address.  So far I've received 1 address.  I know My Captain's address because he and I have shipped back and forth.  I also know that he has tank space for as many as I want so send him. 

So.  If you want these free fish you need to PM me your address.  (or you can buy them from My Captain.)
