Default How well CP different species Ship?

Not sure if this topic has been discussed before or not, but would like to ask:

What are your experiences on how long can different CPs actually survive in a dark box when shipped?

And any tips on how to make them last a bit longer in this environment?

Example:

Aldro sent by post and took 14 days, was mulch when it arrived.

Very young Nepenthes plants from nurseries can go around 8 days and still survive, though at 8 to 10 days some might die.

I found out the hard way that one should never ship nepenthes too wet, or else they will suffer from fungust or blackening early.

I have only transported Droseras for around 1 to 2 days in the dark, they do okay, but never longer than that.

So, who has experienced sending Nepenthes, Droseras, Sarracenias, etc. the longest to reach it's destination?

TTFN
