Question shipping kenya and chaeto

Does anyone know if i can ship kenyas standard ups 2 or 3 days.
Does anyone have any experience doing thi, if so how do yoy do it? Kenyas are pretty hardy and i am thinking they would be fine. Also can someone inform me of the best way to ship Chaeto, is standard shiping ok, do you just keep the algae damp or completely submerged in water? Any info is appreciated thanks.

My very first coral was a kenya frag shipped to me 2-3 day. Wasnt bad at all. We talked about the best way to do it and what we did was get a small thermos, wasnt very tall. Same as you would put in a childs lunch box. Wallmart sells them for not more than 3 or 4 bucks. Got 3 frags shipped that way and all 3 did fine. They didnt like it but all grew to plaque proportions.

Cant say about the cheato never had it shipped to me or from me.
