I have never had any problems shipping.
Last night I shipped a gecko with a heat pack as the overnight lows were under 60F; they were about 53 or so. I was a little concerned about adding the heat pack, but when double checking basic standards, 45-70 is fine for a heat pack. Now, I wouldn't use one for 70, but 53 seemed a little low.
The gecko arrived DOA.
I'm not sure if it was the heat pack that overheated, or wrapping the heat pack in a blue paper towel instead of newspaper. That's the only thing I did different.
I'm very concerned and a little shook up, as I don't want this to happen again. I feel so bad.
