If they are posted by Special Delivery, i.e. guaranteed before 1pm the following day, and if they are VERY well wrapped preferably in a polystyrene container, and if the temperatures are not below zero then they would probably be fine. I don't think tiny babies should be posted at this time of year though. You could post again safely in the Spring  Val |

All of the above plus those heat sachets - Not sure where you get them though. I have heard people say that Poundland sell them

You can get heat sachets on ebay about 20 for around 6 quid or so....looking into them for myself at the moment.

Very late reply - reading through the backposts - but you get heatpacks for posting tropical fish which last up to 72 hours, and most tropical fish are kepts at 24-27 degrees C, which is GALS-friendly. Does anyone have experience of using those to post snails? (Those are also available on eBay, usually.)
