what cold packs is everone using?

[Devaji]

I have some macro algae I want to ship via USPS I have shipped before with insulated box made it just fine. but as the summer gets going I think its best to use cold packs so what are you all using and any good places to buy in bulk or cheap?

I have a Uline account so I use their cold packs. They're reusable so I like passing them on to people I ship to. You can get some pretty inexpensive one's though, especially for shipping macro I wouldn't pay a buck fifty for an ice pack unless you're shipping a lot.

no not shipping alot but have about 3-5 shipments i could ship out.

silly question but could I not just freeze a few zip lock baggies and add to box?

I wouldn't trust them. Sure, you could, but the last thing you need is the shipping company calling you and saying you ruined a bunch of other packages because yours was leaking. To me that's worth getting actual shipping cold packs.
