We just had a DOA male arrive at our door. After breeding him, he was not brought all the way up to optimum temperature, yet he was fed. With no hot spot in his cage to help him digest, the process took longer than expected, and because of it was shipped too soon. He regurgitated the rat in the box, and we assume he suffocated (as the liquid stoped fresh air from entering the bag.)
Take this as a warning, it is probably wise to avoid shipping until defecation occures at least once.
