We all know that overnight and express delivery often costs more than the fish we order and need it to guarantee live arrival.

So what are your thoughts on priority shipping? Is it worth the risk?
 
I think it depends on where the fish are being shipped from. If the fish are being sent from the other side of the country then I would say its not really a good idea. If its in the same state or nearby state I would consider it depending on the type of fish you want.

I also think it depends on the weather conditions to keep the water warm in the boxes.

I agree with CDC,you want the fish to get to it's destination as soon as possible.There are some fish that breathe oxygen above the water surface so in the right conditions they would be better suited to the longer travel time.I am dealing with UPS currently do them losing a fish that I sent via priority per the buyers wishes.
