The Kordon bags are thin. Some fish cannot be shipped in them, because
they have a high probability of puncturing the bags.
The "shit happens" factor is usually moderate to large when anyone ships
fish. Usually if a professional fish shipping company were involved, the
person getting the fish would be given credits for DOAs or dead soon
after arrivals, and the person getting the fish would be responsible for
all of the freight.
Usually, sending money to poor students is not a bad thing to do. ;-)
Peace to all.
