I have some frags that I am thinking of listing, and wondered if people use coldpacks during the summer to ship them and if you do what coldpacks would you recommend?
 
Yes. You can simply use 2-5 cubes of ice in a triple bagged ziploc. Look up the heat of the destination to determine ice usage. When it was 90-96 across the US, I shipped to CA,using 3 ice cubes,and the buyer said the box was 79 degrees,if that helps any.
 
NO! Check the weather of the destination plus in case of FedEx the weather of Memphis and yes during summer and hot months use coldpacks.

I am confused NO, don't use them?, but then later you say in summer and hot months use coldpacks? I am not trying to be a jerk. I really just want to know what to do. I always feel awful when coral die, because I feel that we have a responsibility to them since we removed them at sometime from the ocean.
 
I have so many from orderes I recieved but any small pack will do just fine... Wrap it in paper towels or newspaper and shove it in a couple ziplocks..... I'll get a picture brb
 
Here is a couple.... I have even received boxes from vendors who just froze water in ziploc bags as a ice pack...
