Just to add another note, I always check the receiving ends temps, and the major hub that the carrier ships through, when shipping across country most overnight shipments go through a major hub, like the UPS hub is in Louisville, Kentucky. And teh Fed-Ex Hub is in Memphis Tennessee I believe, I always check those temps too, just incase there is bad weather there, cause that will cause a delay if the weather is bad at the main hub. So I make sure my temps, the recieving temps and the hub temps are good.

Often times people will hold animals till the weather clears, this time of year its a common thing to wait. Its not worth the risk sometimes...ya know.

I would rather hold off shipping for someone than take a chance of it not making the trip.

I have never shipped Delta, but I have received via Delta, and it is pretty cool to get the shipment the same day...but you have to drive to the nearest major Airport...which is the only bummer part, But its worth it.

If you have a good insulated box, and pack correctly there should be no problem, but keep in contact with the reciever and have them give you updates on temps and weather conditions.
