Great news! You might as well start shipping two day. :wink:

back in the good old days, we use to ship common zoas without any water, just a wet paper towel and by priority mail (2 to 3 days) and never lost anything. same with common shrooms, we just ship by priority mail and never lost anything. nowadays with all the designer zoas, palys and shrooms, everyone wants it priority overnight. now, that something to :wink: about!
 
gosh it would be alot cheaper to ship that way

I ship by USPS Expressmail nowadays because $35-$40 is cheaper than FedEx Express and UPS Express rates. We know how reliable USPS and Fed employees are... sometimes they don't get there on time and it arrives 2 days instead of overnight. Never lost a shroom or zoa yet... even the designer ones. Agreed that some are more sensitive than others, those should be shipped overnight. Most aren't that sensitive that it needs priority overnight.

I usually guarantee live arrival with overnight, but not priority mail... I've even ship zoas to Canada by airmail and it's taken up to 5 days without loosing any. Zoas are pretty durable.
