Shipping Cerith snails?

I've shipped alot of corals but new to snails.

Cerith Snails

1. Do they need overnight or is priority mail 2 day ok?
2. Should I put some seaweed in with them?
3. Water to air ratio? more air or more water?

Sorry for all of the questions.

TIA ADNUP

I have always received snails and hermits in a bag with damp paper towels or newspaper. Not sure if that's the best way but seems to be the status quo. Two day should be fine or even priority.

I just got some from LA... they were shipped in a water with nothing else. They came from Miami to Illinois and were delivered overnight. No heatpack but they were packed in a styrofoam box. I know that many times snails can be shipped in wet newspaper but no experience with ceriths that way.
