We don't like to ship UPS either but to be fair I do have an airline horror story. One winter we shipped Koi via the airlines to Fargo North Dakota. Yup.........Fargo. There are no direct flights, as we prefer, and we still took the chance. If you do not have a direct flight the airlines can, and do, bump you frieght if the connecting flight is full. The Koi got bumped somewhere and ended up sitting in the cold. When the owner finally received his Koi there was two inches of ice in the box and it looked like the koi were frozen. Turns out they were still breathing, barely, and all but one did survive. They are still living happily in Fargo. We replaced the Koi that was lost.
