    I am wondering how people get their corals home from MACNA?
    I am considering selling frags, but am concerned nobody will be buying because they will be from everywhere but Iowa, and will have trouble getting them home.
    I am also wondering if their is shipping available at the MACNA shows? I am thinking about maybe offering a boxing/overnight shipping service at the show.....but then again I am not sure if you can even ship overnight on Saturday or Sunday.....

    I work with Fedex on a lot of warehouse related shipping issues. Trust me anything is possible it is just a matter of how much you are willing to pay and how many people want the service. They have some pretty cool garuntee'd over night service regardless of the day it just depends on how much you want to spend. I can't imagine it would be worth it for most frags but if people really want stuff who knows!

    This years MACNA I checked it all in a styro box. That is what I usually do when I fly to shows. Delta Airlines will even let you carry it on the plane if the box is small enough. TSA will make exceptions for live items.

    Yes most people wrap them in their luggage when they fly home. I did that in Orlando with no problems.
