Hi -

I am looking at shipping my stingrays (2) from St. Louis MO to NJ and need some assistance on the proper set up and best carriers to use. I don't have much time as they would need to be sent out by next Monday at the absolute latest. I've read through the Sticky on shipping but thought someone here who has done it frequently could assist. Rays are over 16" disc and 14" disc.

Thanks!

Make sure to clip the barb. Use oxygen in the bag. I would recommend thick bags about 3-4 mil and use 4 of them for super heavy duty coverage. Wrap each bag with 2-3 rubber bands. Practice of you have never tied up fish bags before. It's an art to get them super super tight and good. If you have the heavy duty package bands like shown add that over the top for extra backup. Airport to airport shipping is what I do not sure what's before for the distance your going to cover. If air Make sure you know how early before the flight goes out that you need to show up and call to pre book.

Do you make your own labels?

I take it you mean the shipping notification/live fish warning on the side of the box. Yep. That's my own creation.

It's a full sheet of paper for a size reference. These boxes are just for pups.
