Should be fine no different than 2 day shipping I guess but will be treated better by you rather than FedEx. I would out in a small styrofoam cooler and wrap with towels Or get some kind of small heat pack

buy a couple of heat packs on amazon or ebay- bring an insulated bag/box just like if your were buying from someone online- heat packs should be for 36-48 hrs - zees, just like Yates said lol

Why not put it in a 3 gallon bucket with a battery air pump they are cheap. Used to keep bait alive. And a power inverter in the car with a cheap o pre set tiny heater this way you can absolutely regulate the temp. Totally safe that way for sure

The one thing you could buy in Florida cheap and you can’t get in nj is live rock. I am going to Florida next month and I am looking into buying some live rock and bring it back to nj.

Except for the pot holes on 95.

Most places ship with covid being a thing, find out if they do. Ask if they will pack it like they would ship it.

I'd still go for heat packs and a cooler- styrofoam ones are cheap- most liquor stores/supermarkets have them
