Posting Apple Snails?

[windhopper]

Hi, I've got some (well quite a lot of) apple snails (P. bridgesii) as mine have been breeding. As ive got far too many I'm looking to sell them, as i would rather they didnt go to the lfs as id like them to go straight to a good home. I know that this species can be posted but what must i take into account for it? How is it best to post them? What class of postage must they go on? Will temperature be a problem for them?

Sorry if this has been answered before, or if the questions sound simple.
Thanks,
Jorel

WHen I have posted these out in the past, i do this:

Used Margarine Tub with Cotton wool soaked in tank water, and some plant cuttings.
Then simply put the snails in and send as normal, Can be sent 1st class as They are very very Hardy.

you could also use some of those plastic tubs you get from the take-away
