SouthWest airlines is a common one I'm pretty sure. But other than that, I've had hardy shipments sent through the USPS but I wouldn't trust that for rays. You could always call the local airport and ask their opinion on best option, you never know what's available.

Southwest would be over an hour one way for me. I'm going to look around a bit. Too many people do it to make this some sort of an impossible feat. If you've never done it before though you need to get the proper equipment together and get some input. I may post a thread and get some info.
Yeah I have never done the airport to airport thing, with warm weather I have always just done UPS or FedEx I think once. For rays its can be more tricky for sure. I wish I knew people on here that could help because I see other threads of people shipping I just dont know how to help answer the questions. I have an LFS in town that chargers me a few bucks for supplies and sends my stuff out
moosemj I've had all 3 of my bd rays shipped via delta cargo, same day airport to airport service, with no problems. I highly recommend.
Damn you got 3 BD! Baller!
I'm going to do it one way or the other...
More specifically, I have a bd Leo and bd hen. My pure bred bd recently died. All 3 were obtained via shipping.
Yeah I've received pretty regular shipments through USPS but never through an airline, which I would prefer for rays. Did your shipper use any chemical additives to their water before bagging up, or just their current tank water? Always wondered if sedated or chemcially induced more oxygen into the water?
I'm not sure about chemical additives, but likely not since home to home was only about 4 to 5 hours by plane and water was clear. I know he doesn't feed a day or 2 before, adds air to bag, includes a heat pouch if needed and ray comes packed in styrofoam within a cardboard box. The key is same day delivery. All arrived alive and healthy.
