i need some help and some info about summer shipping. should i use a styrofoam container w/ a cold pack?? or a styro container w/ out a cold pack or should i put screen on one side?? i need all the info i can get and as clear directions as are possible. thanx for everyones help!!!!!!!

I would play it safe with a cold pack (I tape mine to the toop of the styro box)and styro. Punch a couple of holes in the styro (but not necessarily the box). This will allow it not to get too cold.Try not to place animals directly below it, stuff some newspaper or other material there. If the box is too small for that, then stuff a good layer of newspaper between the pack and the animals.
Make sure to check the temps along the way too, if it gets to the late 90s anywhere along the way, you may wish to rethink sending until a storm breaks the temps.
Best of luck.
