Make sure that the bucket where the fish is in has plenty of aeration. If and when i do use the drip method, I usually allow one hour or so, depending on the type of fish, and how much water there is. Aeration is critical because without water movement, oxygen will get depleted quickly.

i usually let it drip for 30mins -1hr depending from where the fish has come from with 1 hr being totally out of my area.
i have let rays drip for well over 1 hour when i got them direct from peru.
if i get fish shipped i would not add fish and water to my tank as it may have a tranquiliser in it but if the fish is local and in a bag i would.
i use the drip method all the time even if i was getting fish from next door.
i also tie a knot.
drip method for sensative fish and float method for non sensative fish.
i usually drip for 1 hour with an air tube tied in a knot on one end.

I have never used the drip method.
I usually "try" to float the bag but i cnat wait 10 minutes! lol, after 5 seconds i put the fish and water in the tank, havent lost a fish from that yet!
