Hi Greg,
All this depends on a few different things:
1) Where is the final destination, what are the shipping date and guaranteed
shipping arrival time?
2) What are the high and low temps predicted for departure city, likely hub city
and final destination? I like yahoo.com weather, gives highs and lows.
3) Temps are in the 90-100 range in CA right now, this calls for cool packs for
me shipping out. I doubt there are many places you would need to use a heat pack
for at present.
