I'm shipping out some frags today and the temp this afternoon is supposed to be 80 with similar temps tomorrow:( Should I put in an ice pack or do you think they'll be ok? Thanks:)

If the frag is small enough you can add it to a small thermos too.

try a shell of foam cups cheaper than a real thermos and lighter to ship Just pack with foam peanuts around it to keep it from breaking and of course plastic bags inside the cups.

plus when it works out you are in a good mood and I get free zoa frags right?? LOL

Sure Briney:) I already have the styro boxes, I'm just reusing ones I've gotten shipments in. I was going to double bag them and surround them with styrofoam peanuts. All of this would then be in the styrofoam lined box. I just wasn't sure how hot it would get in there, but they are being shipped overnight so they will get there no later than 3 tomorrow.
