Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Which cold packs??
I am going to be shipping next week, and the weather is a bit warm. I need to go buy some cold packs but not sure exactly which ones I should buy.
I read you could get them at walmart.
Should I buy the gel ice packs that you freeze? Or the medical ice packs?
Thanks

I usually use the small blue ones found in the camping section ($0.94). If the temps are high, or the species is quite sensitive (, or you are using a bigger box), you could use the larger size of those, or use the gel packs found in the HBA section.

Right now if you are using a 12x9x6 box a 4oz cold pack works good if you wrap it with news paper to slow the melt.
If shipping into a desert like Phoenix or Las Vegas use 2-4 oz cold packs. and be sure to use a delivery before 10:30 am.
Standard overnite does not cut it in the heat.

after figuring out which one to use, remember that the thicker the foam is the easier it is have control over the inside temps
