Rabbit Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Your lfs should have all the things you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayne Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 its a lot cheaper to buy off other people instead of the pet shops as pet shops usually charge $8-9 per heat pad, what type of fish are you shipping? and how many? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 You can buy polyboxes from Plastic Box or Payless Plastics, they start at around $10.00 for the ones that hold 2 - 3 litres. You could possibly get some from a doctor of pharmacist that have held temperature sensitive meds for shipping. As Rabbit says, you can usually buy bags from the LFS. I usually keep the ones I get fish in, so don't have to do this. When I double bag the outer one does not have to have the rounded corners, so anything big enough to hold the inner bag that is waterproof will suffice.

Zayne Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 plastic box in lower hutt buys the poly boxes from styrobeck plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Thanks everyone - I'll look into it I'm only shipping 2 guppies - hardly seems worth it though as it looks like cost to ship will far outweigh fish value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
