USPS shipments have been slower lately, but it may be more due to holiday
business rather than any 9/11 stuff. I mailed some livebearers from
Louisiana to Pennsylvania last Monday - they didn't get there til Saturday,
but except for 2 broken bags all were OK (I used Kordon Breather Bags and
packed 1 fish per bag).

I might start using Airborne Express, they are a bit more expensive, but
dead fish are no bargain, are they?
