Don’t ask why because it’s a long story but I once had a softball size clump in a mason jar in a cabinet for over a week. It started to rot around day 8-9 so I think you’ll be alright

Make sure the chaeto stays moist/humid in the bag. A little water in the bottom is all that is needed. While some people ship in a bag filled with water, we tend to avoid it.
