I have had lots of live rock shipped from Vancouver. The best way is to fly it however I have had it sent on the bus as well. This time of year you are probably fine shipping by bus but remember it is going to be out of the water for that much longer so you will have more die off. I have done it both ways (bus and air) and both were fine - just be prepared for a longer cycle if you ship by bus.
OA has great live rock and I would not hesitate to buy from them.
Cost out both ways and then decide - if it is a lot of rock you might find that you are spending $5-$600 on live rock and then trying to save $50 on shipping - it doesn't make a lot of sense.
