What I think is the best way to ship queen cells is the following
method.
 
The cells a simply buried in a preheated (96F) mix of sand and saw dust
filling a small or medium size styrofoam insulated container.  This
method of packing keeps the cells warm for a long period and protects
them from shocks.
