Personally, depending what you ordered...fish seem to be ok in this type of weather for about 36-48 hours. Corals seem to be good for about 72-96 (depending on type). Corals are waaaay hardier than fish.

When I get live orders I always get them sent on Mondays for that very reason. Whether it's plants via Express Post or fish via Greyhound.
What is in your order anyway?

Ya, I have had a OA shipment go to Quesnell once. Was mid winter. They were DARN cold when they got here. But, they acctually survived. This time of year, You might be ok. Although, 3-4 days in the bags??? I have had go arounds with GH here too. One time, I knew a shipment came in at 630AM from Kelowna, I was heading in to pick them up(snails) and GH called me, seems there was a Powdercoating package there too. Told them they have something else for me from Kelowna too. Told me, "No, theres nothing here" I said "Ya, that box behind you that says LIVE FISH PERISHABLE EXTREMEME RUSH" "Ohh, that box."
Just no clue on what RUSH means.....

i usually do the week days too but my hours have changed at work so the only day i can pick up is weekends. i had a cuc, a couple different gobies, bangaii cardinal, pom pom crabs as well as a bunch of dry goods. i just hate losing things.

You can probably write off the Bangaii (they ship like crap to begin with). The rest of the fish might will make it provided they are kept in a decent temperature area over the weekend...but I doubt it. The crabs might be ok...
