box too small for a heat pack?

[greystreet41]

interior 6 x 4 1/2 x 3"
exterior 8 x 6 1/2 x 5"

it's the smallest insulated box uline has.
Has anyone shipped this with a heat pack? I shipped one last summer with a cool pack and I think it got too cold.

I have shipped many times with a heat pack in this exact box.

just be sure to wrap in in plenty of newspaper and you might even tape it to the top inner box.

I have tons of this exact box as well. I use it only when shipping to warmer states and can use a 8-12 hour heat pack. Weather has to look good at both the destination and the sort facility if you go this route. If it gets hung up at a sort and arrives to late all will be lost.

It is my feeling that a 24 hour heat pack will "cook" your coral in such a small box until it runs out of air and then you will nicely chill your corals after that.

Go for the next size up to be safe!

I agree, Todd knows his shipping.
