shipping to Colorado,

[Salty Dog]

I shipped before but ran out of heat packs, where can I find them quickly?

 

[Just Clownin Around]

Most places have them. You can also use hand warmers sold at sporting goods stores. But be careful with them..they get alot warmer than the other brands. So use caution

 

[Salty Dog]

how long do hand warmer work?

 

[Salty Dog]

ttt

 

[gumby]

depends some are more others want to say 4 to 8hours I think but cant remember, used some before they worked pretty good too! just wrap some newspaper around them and you should be ok. they should also have some like at menards or homedepot

Got 11" of snowthe here last night

So depending on where in Co your shipping you may want to wait a few days

 

[Salty Dog]

Colorado Springs, my god 11" of snow whew

 

[Gonzo]

I don't think the springs got 11" maybe Reefkoi could chime in as that's his neck of the woods

 

[SaltWaterDave]

Those hunting hand warmers will last anywhere from 4hrs-12hrs depending on the particualr ones you buy.

 

[reefkoi]

yeah we got maybe an inch down here in C/S last night, its just barely snowing right now, roads are just wet

 

[Salty Dog]

Is a 8-12 hr warmer enough for a 24hr trip

 

[dknuckles]

Bill,
No!!!
You will have Popsicles
I would try LFS, periodically Petsmart will have them by the reptile supplies.
IMO Depending on the value and replacement availability of the coral, I would order a 40hr heat pack. I have some LMK.

If it was me I would buy the 40 or 72 hour heat packs. That way if you do have any type of delay, it ups your chances of survival. Plus the longer hour heat packs hold a more consistent heat. With the snow in Colorado I would wait though. Better to be safe.

 

[BigJohnWoody]

Check eBay as well. Occasionally you can find amazing deals and they ship priority. So if you order today you should have them by the weekend. That way you can be all ready to ship on Monday and it will let the snow storm pass.

ya its supposed to be close to the 70's next week lol

Gotta love colorado weather

You can get 24hr hand warmers at ***** Sporting Goods for about 1.00. Most sporting good stores have them this times of year. Walmart may have them in stock already. You would want to get a 24hr pack minimum.

 

[Reef Pets]

Well I suppose that word is not allowed, Im sure you can figure out the name of the sporting goods store....

 

[SAZAMA]

4-6in here north of denver, don't you need a air supply for those winter hand warmers?

 

[Reef Pets]

They are made of the exact same thing as heat packs. I ship ith hand warmers all of the time. Had 22 boxes last week that were shipped with hand warmers from Gander Mountain.

 

[Snprhed]

It seems like the question was kinda answered so I thought I might kinda high jack it for something similar. I need some of the 40 hour heat packs and Im also looking for some frag shipping bags (maybe like a 2X8 and thick if possible) Who does everybody order from?
