I'm under the impression that if you ship hub to hub, there is very little time spent exposed to the elements, am I correct? Do you think I should only use one heat pack? He is shipping two adult normals to me.
    Hub to hub offers the least amount of temp exposure, correct. I would be hard pressed to use two heat packs. My concern there is that you actually start to court OVERheating, which is a bigger problem than cooling.

    Tangent to all of this, but mentioned earlier- FedEx planes are both pressurized and temp controlled for shipments.
