Because of where I live I have to have almost everything shipped in. The only exception is when I get to Edmonton, Calgary or Vancouver and even then if I fly I am limited to what I can bring back. I have tried UPS, DHL, Purolator, and the Post office. None does a good job of doing overnight at least to Fort St. John.
I have had a lot of frags, colonies, fish and live rock shipped. By far the best method is to take it to the airport and fly it. Send the buyer the weigh bill # and advise them of the flight and arrival time. I have had live rock shipped on the bus, in the summer, and it worked out OK too but again - the best method is to fly it. I believe you can prebook your shipments on cargo with Air Canada - not sure about West Jet as it does not fly in here.
