SurferJoe1958 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 OK guys and gals , have started breeding a few different species and looking at shipping when they get big enough for sale etc. What I have been trying to find is the Heat Packs to put into the boxes as needed - apart from buying in from the USA. Does anyone know of any available online in Australia? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I know someone used to sell them, send her an email as ask if she still does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhong89 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I've being using the heat packs for muscle pain... you can get the ones that lasts 12 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Jump on Ebay or Amazon and look at Uniheat pads, you might find them cheaper somewhere online - they can last up to 72 hours x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenton Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Anyone have any updates on this? I've looked into heat packs around the place and I'm not overly impressed with either the options or the costs. UniHeat from the UK costs an arm and a leg to import. Not much cheaper from the USA. On ebay in Oz, they are ridiculously expensive. Heat packs in camping stores tend to be much more affordable but don't last long enough...what does everyone else use?

lodo Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 We have heat packs, last 12 hours they say, but once inside box is warm it should stay fairly good, we use them in winter with great success. We also sell them for $2 each.They are also adhesive so can stick to lid of the box 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenton Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 hmmm - if I go with polystyrene packaging, then I can understand them being sufficient for an overnight - but what about two or more days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayM Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I wouldn't risk it with my fish if it was over 3 days. Items from Melb & QLD have taken 2 days (express post) & water is still warm & fish were fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
