Just like the title states does anyone have experience shipping stingrays? What to ship them in? What shipping company to use? overnight or airplane shipping? Anything would help I have never shipped before...

You're going to need to ship out of MSP. DSM seems to run a majority of their flights through MSP. Best bet is to have someone up in the cities ship for you after you drive it up to them.
 
Well I am trying to have someone ship the ray to me... But they have no clue neither do I.. SO I have to let them know how...

Trevor
 
yea, have it sent to msp, its better. You are gonna need a styrofoam box, two large bags, heat packs.... Air... what kind of ray you thinking about getting?
 
Do you just place the heat packs underneath the bags? setting the two bags on top of it? Do you have two seperate bags or do you double them up to make just a two layered single bag? Do you just place the stingray in the bag with the bag 2/3 full of water and have air space or do you have to provide some type of airator....

Trevor
 
yea heat packs on the bottom and side of it, and double bags just in case the stinger breaks through one of them. 2/3s sounds about right. if its the same day you can use just an areator to fill the bag with air, but if its over night you might want to get some compressed air into the bag
