Where is pickup?
Typically, Streamwood. I may be out in NW Indiana before the contest starts. I am going to see about arranging with a member for pickup further east towards the city, and leave several polyps with them (which must be paypal'ed for before pickup)

We could look into something like priority mail depending on weather, we are sure to have some low 70's overnight soon. Palys can usually last a day or two in a bag. No need for overnight 10am delivery... There would be no guarantee on the polyps thou if they do melt in shipping.

I work in northbrook right near MCF. Maybe a meetup there with someone heading that way after work? I could ferry further north from there.

Yea I went a little crazy myself as soon as they came out, the 4's were already gone, got four 8's and two 12's and a bag of plugs. Had to get the free shipping, lol. I love how every one is different and handmade. The winner is going to be pleased with this prize. Oh, and it's like 6x8 oval, so nano guys beware, it's not as little as the pic makes it out to be!
