Just keep a eye on the weather if the temps are going to be above 87 then only ship overnight morning delivery by 10:30am otherwise it could sit on the back of the truck for most of the day where temps can reach 150 degrees and no amount of ice will help.
Hey Wendy today's the day, I finished my last cig last night....you promissed you'd join me when I quit :) Faith's going on 8 weeks, if she can do it so can we.
