When I ship USPS I always put "LIVE FISH" and "This side up" on the box. I
understand that you are saying just not to do it but one time I had those
words on the box and they saved some fish I shipped (lucky me). I haven't
shipped USPS in about a month so I haven't spoken with my post office about
it.
This thread seems to be a hot topic I like all the ideas I am hearing here.
Keep it up!
Thanks,
