...temps were a bit chilly to my liking. Everthing went well but I had several "gut feelings" to cancel the deal. I'm in Texas and was shipping to Florida. My major concern was the same as yours....the middle point. All I can say is if you feel uneasy about it just don't do it. I used a commercially purchased insulated box with 2 heat packs that were opened many hours before the trip. I tried to time them so there "peak" times were appropriate for the actual times I wanted them to be at their warmest. I even did a trial run before the real deal. Because of the worry it created for me, I will not repeat shipping during any questionable weather. Like I said, all went well, but it was not my intention to repeat this situation again. If you can't afford to loose them financially or emotionally or refund the entire purchase amount I suggest you wait.

>>I'm having a pile of boas shipped from Miami to Los Angeles. The weather's fine on both ends, it's the middle I'm worried about. I'm shipping FedEx and the nighttime temperatures in Memphis are in the low 30's...other than a good insulated box and heat packs, are there any other suggestions? Waiting for spring, unfortunately, is not an option.
