I sent off three boxes today and will be on pins and needles until I hear from their new owners.  I hate shipping but it's a necessary evil.  You get money from it and it spreads the fish you're most proud of around.
Always move forward. Never look back.

I think everything will go fine.... ;D

I shipped a box down to Texas....with (1) 60hr, and a 72 hr, heat pack.....but I did box in a box...heat packs taped to the outer box walls ...heats the box, and doesn't overheat the fish.....overnight lows went from 30's up here, to 40's down there.....day time highs....50's here, about 70 there.....
worked well...box was still warm... ;D

if I ship during the winter, then I'll add a heat pack to the styro too.....

That's good news Liz.  What a relief.
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

I was really worried about the pair because 3 days is a long time, and it was such a nice pair.  But he said the fish were happy and active right out of the bags.
