Packaging Beetles For Shipment..

I can't find a cool pack anywhere I checked the dollar store, staples, pet stores, and the UPS store, to no avail. I need them shipped out tomarrow. Temps are going to ramp back up next week. I'm so stressed right now. Now I know how the bugs feel. I just really want them to survive their trip. Please, I need an alternative to cool packs.

Do you think insulating with the styofoam/bubble wrap with a bag of ice will work?

I honestly don't bother with heat packs for any of my orders, so long as they've got good ventilation they're usually OK. Just shipped two orders out in 90+ degree weather earlier this week without heat packs or styrofoam insulation of any kind.

The water crystals I suggested above are sold at many home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowe's; basically these.

Thanks,

Thank you. It's a little late now though. I just got a freeze pak for them. I hope it works. I'm using an insulated UPS bag I turned inside out. This pads the bottom and sides so far. I'm not sure how to rig the top up. Also, should I put holes in the package for them?
