We just had a healthy litter recently - a result of one collection on a saturday- arriving in Canada on the Monday. We shipped blindly with the Chill 5 - not knowing where the progesterone would be after the weekend. The friday prog was not quite ready, the monday was perfect timing and it was here just in case!
Best of luck to you! Seems if it's not the weekends, it's the holidays to worry about!

If you ship on Saturday, with extra ice packs in a bigger box, it'll be fine on Monday.[/quote
This is bad information. Pack the box with ice packs according to the directions of the manufacturer of the extended. Too much ice can freeze the sample, especially using Chill 5 & 10. Use the box recommended by the company you are using. You will have good results that way, as long as the stud dog owner knows what they are doing. It sounds like you may be using an inexperienced stud dog owner, as they should have told you about Saturday pick up for Monday delivery. Good luck!

Not bad information. It's correct information.
I have shipped many boxes with two bricks. It works perfectly, even overseas. The sample has never been frozen. One thing to make sure of is to wrap the sample in material so it doesn't actually touch the brick. I may be doing this type of shipment today as a matter of fact. After two days the box with two bricks has always been perfectly chilled and arrived safely.
