If you put it in a container it should be plastic.
If you add water it should be salt water or you're giving your new rock a fresh water dip.That will kiil the organisms.

I've been told that you could wrap the rock in wet newspaper, and it should be ok certainly for a couple hours. I've never ordered LR online, but supposedly they ship rock wrapped in wet newspaper. So, if it's ok when being shipped, I bet you'll be fine for a couple hours.
Ideally though, you should put it in your trash can with saltwater, a heater, and a powerhead, just in case you have to keep them in there for longer than you expected. |

If you wrap it in paper at the store and have them put some of their water on it it should be ok in a cooler for a few hours.
Some use the hand warmer packs you can buy.
