Mailing Flies

[barrybarry]

I'd like to send a friend a dozen small dries. What's the easiest (cheapest) way to do this. If I were to put them in an envelope they would be crushed. After all the swaps I thought someone would know the answer.

So a pill container in an envelope? Or in one of the shipping packs that they have in the post office?

I save hook boxes just for that purpose. The smaller the flies, the smaller size box I use.

I mail them in bubble envelopes from the dollar store

The bubble envelopes work fine I save and reuse them from Amazon and stuff. Small boxes even better than pill bottles though. Also a new trick I learned from slide inn, use a 3x3 piece of thin foam and slide the hooks into it, place whole sheet into ziploc bag. It's like a cheap flybox
