What kind of crabs? Where are they going? Are crabs worth overnight shipping for someone? It's expensive.

Temp is your biggest enemy. Get some 20+ hour heat packs, a styro box, pack it so it can't leak (over do it), and you're good to go.

again...BCM....unless you want to do this as a learning experience, because this is good for both of us to learn, and chances are, we'll need to do this again someday, don't get busy with it. i can wait till the weather warms up. :wink:

Above all watch the weather. If you're shipping to someone up north & it looks like there's a storm coming hold off for a few days. There's nothing worse than an overnight package getting hung up somewhere because there's a few feet of snow on the ground.
