even with over night the 30's will be too low for them to live. even the 40s

 

[allaboutfish]

Priority medium flat rate box, insulated with newspaper and styrofoam. Weather here is actually in the 60's and high 30's to low 40's at night

USPS and aren't the facilities and ars heated?

 

[Dburgess1231]

no. bays and trucks are not heated. they will be smelly and cold by the time you open the bags

Are you sure I heard they were and my grandpa works for usps

i have a brother in law that carries the mail. they might have overhead heaters and heaters in the individual vans. but they dont go the whole distance in a carrying van... a non heated truck transports them to the post office.

you can try it and might get a couple survives but i just had a similar situation and all but one were dead and the one was in real bad shape.
