FobbyBobby23, that sounds great! Let us know how that works out.

I will let you know that the boxes I used are not fool proof. I recently sent one to Virginia and shipped out on a Monday. I expected it to get there by Thursday or Friday. It got there by the following Monday. I was not happy about that. Plants were cold by the time they arrived. They had been in the dark and cold, even in a ziplock bag inflated relatively tight inside the 1 inch styrofoam. The person I shipped to was kind to me, and pointed out that it was during December during the holiday shipping season for the United States Postal Service. I had sent it PRIORITY and marked it on the outside, 'Protect from Cold'. Oh well, you learn. I wonder if it would be similar or different shipping during the cold weather, BUT after the holidays?
