Hi Al
 
I live in Chattanooga TN and frequently order queens from California.
Simply ask that they be shipped priority mail and you will have them in 2
days most times.  The only problem I have ever had was when someone ran
over the queens with a forklift.  I called the breeder, he reshipped, I
filed a claim for him.
