Shipping Supplies

Shipping supplies?

I'm getting ready to order some shipping supplies and was wondering where everybody else gets theirs. TSK, superior, LLL .... Others?? Also at what hot temps do people start using cold packs or quit shipping until it cools down?

Walmart and Lowe's. I like heavy duty Duck brand boxes, Scotch heavy duty shipping tape, I buy insulation in sheets that I cut to size, I get pillow cases at Walmart too, and finally I use shredded newspaper for packing. I have tried the white perishable boxes but they honestly did not perform as well as the Duck boxes. I tie each snake bag off with kite string and electric tape.

You can find temperature guidlines on the ShipYourReptiles Get Help page. It includes info on using heat and cold packs.

SYR also sells all the packaging supplies you need, whether a single shipping kit, or more economical pricing on quantities.

Thanks Everybody....Very helpful info Robyn

I love the two piece styro cooler insulated shipper kits from Uline and have used them for the last several years, but have also ordered from SYR before, as well as TSK Supply.

I agree, those two piece boxes, without separate panels, are definitely choice. They are just hard to buy in quantity and have them shipped for a reasonable rate, since they don't break down.

But structurally they are awesome, and the insulation value is higher as well.
