What to mail snail, shoul I use Snail Mail?

Would this order be ok to ship priority?

I would just put them on a flat bed scanner and send them via email. The person at the other end can print them out and put them in their tank.

...john can probably tell you about mailing snails.

Your cart is currently empty? ... anyways.... priority mail can take 2-6 days depending on how far it goes... so maybe? I'd follow the advise of ReefCleaners.

 

I used regular mail to get my snails and everything was fine.

 

I was asked a few yrs ago to try U.S postal priority overnight express and they never made it either time one arrived several days later and one a week or so From Ct to Delaware . So No I would not try it . But hey its your money and the advice is free and maybe all its worth ?

 

Well, used priority (2-3 days)
My cuc will order (what i have not included) be
50 dwarf ceriths
17 florida ceriths
7 nassarius
16 of some other snail (7 small, 9 large)
5 mangrove propagules
penny macro

 

If it were me, shipping to MI in winter, I would not use that shipping method for live animals. Most might live but you could potentially have some dieoff. I think your best option is to ship overnight in the winter to the upper midwest. Any savings you make on paying for cheaper shipping you could end up paying for in dead animals.
Even if you get a refund or store credit for them, you still don't have those animals that you were planning on and have to figure out how you're going to get like 3 dwarf ceriths, and 2 nassarius snails to replace them or just have a smaller CUC than you expected.

 

It is like 70 degrees here!
