    I would assume you've built a relationship with one of your LFS's. I had numerous customers who needed to ship and I had them bring their fish in, gave them a styrofoam shipping container, bagged their fish, Oxed and Stressguarded them, told them to go to Walmart in the hunting/fishing section for the heat packs and instructed them on how to tape them to the lid so it wasn't sitting against the plastic bags. One customer was a regular and was moving due to a situation where they either had to move or not have a job. I paid for the shipping in that case. That's a real long way to say, call your LFS.
