Shipping Chaeto

What is the best way? Wet paper towel/newspaper? Little bit of water in the bag? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

good to hear.
i always use a full container of water because it allows a better chance for any incidental microfauna to survive as well as ensuring no part of the algae dries out.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but will it survive in 2-3 day shipping or does it have to have overnight?
I would imagine it would be fine for 2-3 days. I only overnighted because the shipping was free. I have read chaeto sale threads where the shipper used two day shipping.

When I was selling chaeto, I used a quart ziplock bag, stuffed it full of chaeto, then added maybe a cup of water, then i placed this inside of another ziplock bag, kinda flattened it out and stuffed it into a priority mail envelope. I didn't use any insulation and it usually took 2-3 days to arrive, I never had a single complaint on how it arrived.
