Title: Shipping queens
Post by: RZRBCK BEE on May 01, 2010, 10:16:58 PM
I was needing to know how well the queens being shipped fared as far as the condition they are in upon arrival. Overnight prices are so outrageous I was thinking about priority mail but was wondering if they will be cared for or if they will survive and do well if they are in the postal service system for a couple of days. Obviously I have never done this before and it makes me nervous to say the least. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

They will work out just fine with priority.  Just gotta pick them up when the post office calls so they don't sit around so long.
