Heating a parcel envelope?

[agent A]

Hello all, I have a dilemma, I want to send an Oxyopsis ooth to a member here, but it's easiest for me to throw it in a small container then in a parcel envelope (manilla envelope) and toss it in the mailbox, but I was wondering, how can I keep the ooth warm? It's not THAT cold here but it's better safe that sorry

Would hand warmers help?

Thanx

Where do I get those???

 

[happy1892]

I do not know the best place to buy them. I bought heat packs here. There are heat packs that last 72 hours.

I shall browse the web

You should still be able to get hand warmers (heat packs) at various drug and department stores this time of year.

Yeah, if you only need one, ask someone here on the forum to send you one.

Every place I know charges WAYYYY too much for them unless you buy bulk.

BTW, remember the new postal law, you can no longer put anything in the mail box

over 13oz.

Has to go in a special box, or the post office.

I have taken a look at ebay-USA.

10 40 hour heatpacks free shipping 15 usd.

good price I think, about same as in Germany.

If you use a heat pack, make sure you write "heat pack " on the outside, otherwise home land sec will get it.

Wow! I didnt know that !

Does this also aply to shipments within the US or only to overseas?

 

[hibiscusmile]

Both & if shipping overseas or canada, the best way to get it taken is to include a heat pack and not state that it is inside, but if going overseas, it does not matter if you state it, no one will believe it is safe.

Basically, once the postal people or the pp's lol get used to you, they won't even life an eye, but untill then, they will usually send back to sender.
