There are no regulations. I have received margies within days of hatching and they have been fine. Achatina spp. are normally sent out about 1cm shell length, or about 1 month old. But it's really just your judgement.

As katheirne said, I think a month is a good age. I've sent out new born fulica and iredalei before without any problem but I would say its best to wait for a month or even two.
