shipping Zoa's

What service does everyone use to overnight ship zoa's. I am taking down my tank and need to sell all of my zoa's and the cheapest overnight service is fedex and they are $67 for a 12"x12"x12" insulated box. I live in a very hot area and there needs to be a bag or 2 of ice in the box along with the zoa's.

I shipped USPS Priority in the height of this east coast heatwave (from Pa->Ga) in a thermos and packing peanuts Frags made it fine. temps were easily close to 98* during shipping. Made it in 2 days no issues. The frags I recieved, actually the bag of water was cool to the touch...

Ive heard DHL is pretty cheap, something around $25-30. In that kind of heat I would put a cold pack in just to be safe.
