Shipping question

Dragonstale Sep 12, 2005 07:35 PM

I have shipped many babies this summer with 100% success. I make my own insulated boxes and have been using sandwich containers to hold them. Now I need to ship an adult and am a little nervous...can anyone give me any tips, advice, etc. With the little babes I've been putting paper towels in the container with them. Should I put the adult inside something like a pillowcase? or should I put something soft inside for when the box gets knocked around? Any help would be appreciated, it's bad enough I'm shipping the poor thing, I want her to be as comfy as possible and arrive safe and sound.

One of the best things to use would be a soft snake bag or a pillow case tied in a knot at the end. Put shreederd news paper in the box or shipping peanuts. ( those little white styro things that get everywhere) Or you can get them made out of corn starch, which is way better then styro. Some people but them in a bag then inside a small syro inside the bigger box. Anyways hope this helps.

peace,
nathan
