Next day air is RARELY required most use USPS priority with heat packs this time of year and they are fine
well corect in certain extend. Is depening how good the packaging is and how hardy the fish is but all seller prefer next day that eliminate the chance of DOA or else they lose the fish and the sale. Which will be a total loss. ^_^
Most sellers here use priority. My FH spent 4 days in a shipping bag and was fine. I guess it is really a call for the buyer/seller to make, but IMO priority is usually fine as long as there is a heat packk during the colder months
Thanks for that link petluvr, it doesn't seem too hard to ship. I would definitely want to do USPS express just to be safe if I were going to.. Anybody know about how much that costs?
You can go to the USPS website and check it out. Just put in what you think the weight will be the starting zip code and the ending zip code and bingo bango the shipping cost is calculated
