Interest in helping me test my shipping method?

[Reefing newbie]

Yeah its pretty expensive to ship things. Ever think of making your own insulated foam boxes? Buy some foam from craft Stores and then cut them to shape. Line it with tinfoil and newspapers or something like that for insulation then heat or cold packs on top of it all? Might help reduce the costs per box.

I didn't look into craft foam but I've been talking with marcoss about different options he's used. It's really overwhelming for a first time experience.

hey all!
I'm starting to frag up a few colonies and I've always thought I would sell locally but just recently I've been thinking to ship things as well.
Is anyone interested in letting me ship them a frag (palys or zoas) for just the cost of shipping (thinking around $40). I'm looking for 5-6 different people to ship to.
I'm not ready to ship out yet, (probably within 3 weeks) wanting to gauge who would be willing to take a chance on a new shipper lol
It would be a frag of gold dust palys, a red and blue mushroom, a few different colored wild zoas, or a twizzler morph.
To be clear though, there will be no refunds as this is a test.
All I ask in return is that you critic my packaging. Is it crappy, did it hold up, condition of frags, etc.
if you're interested please send me a message.
If you have any questions please let me know :)

I hope you have my spot still reserved! :)

Not in this shipment but I still have some bam bams to frag up.

In Cleveland .........you ship west coast it goes through Indianapolis...........south through Memphis. Those are two main hubs. In the winter you have to watch those to make sure you aren't sending the package into a major storm that can ground planes, or cause semi-truck delays.

To the east they are more direct without stopping.

There is a major Cleveland hub in Aurora-Bedford Hts.......everything goes out of that hub first when I ship.

This is right on. This was the exact point I was trying to make.

I'm surprised its only $50-60 for you I mean it all depends on weight and destination but the first time I tried to ship with fedex overnight it was going to cost me $110 to over night a 9x9 3lb box.
Now I use a buddies FedEx business account and its never more then $50

Hey I live in Michigan and have zoa frags if interested

 

[marcoss]

Hey. I'm just seeing the comments about the airport. I realize it's routed around. I mostly meant that as a gauge. It's planning for the worst on a tarmac.
