I second pickup at the Fed Ex as soon as they open at 8 am. Sometimes even a few hours may make the difference between an animal pulling through a bad shipping experience or dying.

However, you must remember that at this time of the year many airports are having flight delays and cancellations. Live Aquaria packs very well, however, I would wait until the weather gets a bit better, as they can not control the package once it leaves their facility. I would be just too upset knowing that my fish were sitting in a freezing plane hold on a runway or airport with weather delays. Also, there is no room for error with a misrouted package in this type of weather. In decent weather, an extra day for an unplanned delay or misplaced package can be ok.
