What kind of hermos do you use? I have heard people saying they use them just wasn't sure which ones. Doesn't it get exspensive to use them?

I use either the small one kids use for lunches with the screw on lid, or the ones that you use for water with a screw on lid. They cost 3 to 5 dollars each, and the person buying the corals pays for them. You can get them and dollar general or wal mart pretty cheap. If i am only sending one or two corals, i put each one in thier own bag, and them out that inside the thermos. them i take my box, and stuff with news papers, and pack it around the thermos. Some time i also put the thermos in a bag, just in case of leaks. I use the one price shipping box, its good sized,and mail. so shipping comes out to 11 to 13 bucks.

Why not heat packs? and styrofoam? You can also get big air bags for cushion for next to nothing. Some companys throw this stuff out, you can go to local businesses and ask for them, they will be happy to give them to you. (eccept the heat packs) I have sold on e**y for years and thats what I have always done to get my packing materials..also you can buy 60 hour heat packs there or online. Just wondering about the thermos.
