Catherine and Donna for safekeeping during my move I too, followed
Catherine's
advice: I wrote on the box "Live Aquatic Plants, Avoid Temperature
Extremes." I kinda forgot to mention there were live fish
in bags with the plants. Dishonest? Yes. But
the recourse is FEDEX, UPS, etc and paying
dearly. I believe the USPS posture on not
sending live fish is nationwide. Would be
curious to hear of any success stories when
contents were accurately stated.
