APC i thnk you mean, they are good, not sure of others?

OK, eh how much do you think same day delivery will be? its about 200 miles - the package should weigh 3-4 kilos, will overnight be much cheaper?

Are there any other companies i should look out for?

I think with apc its £16.50 for a poly box filled to the max overnight

this is another problem, i look everywhere for a poly box today, where the hell can i get them from?

use the post office specail delivery

I would prefer this but there is no way of me getting to the post office in the next week.

1. its illegal to send adult fish through royal mail [dont get caught if you do send thm though ]
2. try the lfs for a poly box, or just use a cardboard box [look on eBay for both ]
3. what fish ar you shipping?

yeh not gonna use RM, would if i could though. BN fry, 12 weeks old, hopefully they should be fine.

 

[tropic_john]

you could use royal mail special delivery [£7.50 for a box of under 1 kilo, more than that is £9.50. And you could fit all the bn fry in a small carboard box with less than 1kilo of water]
