I used to ship all the time.... never used O2. I always shipped priority overnight delivery by 10:30. Grab and close the top of the bag quickly and rubber band it. Never had DOA.... even with monster fronts....

what in the world are you shipping? You need not a whole lot of water and mostly O2. That is really expensive...

Like 25% water and 75% air if they are going to sit for a while. Also the not feeding for a few days before hand is very good advice.
If you wouldn't put it in your mouth, don't put it in your tank!

Their overnight costs can be pretty high unless you move a very high volume and even then the breaks you get may not be that great.

I like fedex myself. its good for smaller orders.

Youll learn how to bag effeciently by experience if it something you plan on doing alot of down the road.

Take Care,

dont let this big order discourage you. selling 6 or so fish at a time and having to ship them isnt too bad. Its a nice way to get a few bucks to put back into your hobby for supplies, lights, food....etc.

Take Care,
