Who's shipping USPS priority

I know alot of people ship USPS Priority.I was wondering with the weather turning colder how many of you still ship this way thru the winter months?

I ship USPS priority quite a bit with no problem. I would only ship USPS priority in the winter with 60 hr heat packs and would never guarantee live arrival. It is a risk that the buyers or traders assume.

it's very risky to ship usps priority, they're cheaper, but it's worth it to just ship fedex, and be sure that your corals are actually going to get there in 24 hours, in one piece...

I do it just with zoas in the fall and spring when the weather is mild. Don't know if I would do it in the cold winter or hot summer though.

coralfarm123 - Where do you get 60hr heatpacks?

I ship USPS a lot! Mostly zoos, leathers, mushrooms, etc... I wouldn't ship any sps, but have received frogspawn and hammer corals in good shape with USPS.

I am a UPS man. I have had so many issues with Fed Ex. Seems they do not care if someone is home or not.
