HaNs Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Poly box, 48hr heat pad, double or tipple bagged and same day/overnight courier All at your risk though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Courier Post deliver all of mine, so they're obviously happy to take them. Dont feed the day before shipping, fill the Bag with enough water to cover the Fish, then fill the Bag with Air. Double or Triple Bag as Hans said. Pack securely into a Poly Box with Newspaper and Heat Pads. I usually do a Water Change the morning of the night they are going to be Couriered. Good Luck :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I cant be bothered hten if i sell 20 guppies for 20 bucks then get poly heat pads paper box and bags god drive me bonk thanks anyway NZ Couriers does take them, don't ask them just arrive at the depot with them packed and labelled and tell them they always take them. Will cost you around $22 - $25 to send once only. I manage to do it for slightly cheaper but not much by purchasing books of tickets which cut the courier price by about $2 and purchasing bulk heatpacks.

twinkles Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 i use nz couriers, tell them they're tropical plants to avoid any problems when they ask lol. Costs 15.50 out of region, which is from taumarunui southwards - new plymouth, wellington etc, or 12.50 in region - north to just past auckland. South island is more. Thats just buying the occasional ticket, its cheaper if you buy lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LYNDYLOO Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Have to agree with you aaron11, when it comes to shipping $20 worth of Fish, needs to be worth while really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
