the shipping companies do play a role, but thats pretty convenient for the shipper....
I had my 25 frags shipped from Ontario a while ago and while everything about the order was terrible, the one thing that was as advertised was the arrival of everything alive and well.
I actually had sps with pe in the shipping bags when I pulled them out of the shipping box...
I am sure the only reason this worked was because I had them hold it at the purolator office, rather than let some delivery truck driver throw it in his truck and bump around town with it before his route took him past my house.
I am sure I saved myself 7 or 8 hours of transit time doing it this way.
The frags arrived at about 10 am at the shipping office and I got them by 1pm...
I would never order frags or anything live to my home address now, it's worth the drive to pick it up yourself IMO.
