shipping question...

[macawmagic]

for shipping a package to winter haven over night tonight...do I need to put a heat pack in there or no? its super hot out, but what about when the package is inside. I've got an hour to decide.
thanks!

i got packages shipped during winter with no heat packs

Tough call...I'd go with a thick cooler or styrofoam container and place room temp "cool packs" in with them. Should do the trick IMO.

If anything I would think you would need an ice pack here in Florida right now. I definately would not put a heatpack in.

it's shipping to winter haven florida, so yup, freeze up some water in a zip lock (freeze flat), then wrap this in newspaper, then put that in a fishbag and tape well to the styro lid. the newspaper is to slow down the melt/cold and to prevent the melting ice from cutting thru the fishbag.

i wouldnt freeze or heat, its perfect weather for it, around 80 degrees

i agree with the no freeze, id put them in a insulated container tho

80 degrees. You must live in far north Miami? My temp on my car thermometer was reading 96 degrees this afternoon in Broward.
