id think hed be fine, especially in the warmer weather months.
these guys often get shipped from far away places and can and do survive the transport for up to a week or more.
the only thing is if you do get a DOA, you probably wont be reimbursed for you money if you use priority (and not express/overnight)...so think of the extra $20 you'd be spending on the faster shipment as insurance..they would replace the DOA, but youd STILL have to pay to get it shipped again(another $30 for express/overnight)...i use the priority and havent had a problem. if the fish are leaving the seller as healthy fish, they should do just fine! (also consider what day they ship...make sure it is early in the week so they dont sit in post over the weekend when there is no delivery...means they'll be in the box less time).
GOOD LUCK!
