Shipping Chaeto

Hello everyone. I'm sure someone here has some experience shipping macro during the winter months. I need to ship some chaetomorpa from St.cloud, MN to Chicago, IL. It doesn't have far to ship, but it is December and last nights temperature was -1 degrees F. How can I insure the chaeto will make it there alive? Can it survive being frozen? Ive heard heat packs are a bad choice seeing as the can be anywhere from 100 degrees to 140. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Put the heat pack in an envelope and then tape it to the top of the box.
