Hey guys,
I’m shipping out some ants to someone this week and I was wondering how the best way is to do this. Get a small package and bubble wrap them in the test tube and mail them? Or package them in a box and send by the UPS? How is the best way to package and best way to send?? Preferably the cheapest also haha

Thanks!

Hey Jonny,

I would recommend pretty much what you said, just make sure to only put a cotton ball with damp water in the test tube instead of the normal water situation if possible.  You only have to do this if you are shipping them by air though.  (The altitude can make the water molecules expand and break the test tube)  I would also make sure to ship at the beginning of the week so they aren't sitting at the post office for the weekend.  Other than than, just make sure you ship them on a day where you won't freeze or bake them.
