Hello all,
I will be shipping my first zoos frags next week. Just wanted some feedback. The frags will be single bagged in Kordon Breather bags with just enough water to completely cover the zoos, No air will be left inside the bag. I plan on lining the sides, top and bottom with 1/2" styrofoam, and then a nice layer of newspaper inside of that. The frag will placed and the center and the empty space will be filled with packing peanuts. If a cool pack is required, I will wrap it in newspaper and tape it to the top of the box. How does this sound? Also, if a cool pack isn't needed, will the styrofoam still benefit the shipment?

Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you got it covered! Yes I believe the frags would still benefit from the styro box. If it';s just a few small frags though I would get a $2.89 thermos from wally world and ship it in a priority box turned inside out. You could ship usps express this way for like $19 overnight depending.

Cool, thanks. Is there any benefit to double bagging the breather bags? These are just single frags on a plug, but still a little concerned about the bag breaking.
