If your sustained temps have been significantly over 100f desi probably has a point.
I still believe that climate control in the transportation vehicles offsets the temps. and quickly collecting the birds from the post office is the major factor.
One could say the opposite of where I am in...
Not to be argumentative, but where are you and where is @Pampered chicken girl ?
Chicks need 95f for the first week right? Shipping trucks, planes, and post offices are climate controlled.
I’ve had meat birds mailed in around this time of year for processing in mid September.

So, I’ll repeat previous statements. No matter how much you trust your friends. You should make plans to be at the post office early on delivery day personally. And don’t make yourself part of the problem! 😊
The biggest issue I’ve had is group orders where I depend on others to pick up the birds from the post office.
When I make plans, go to the post office early on the day of delivery, and pick them up myself I have little to no losses. Like ridgerunner said, don’t be part of the problem yourself...
