Are they all going together or to different homes, with 4 that are 7-8" you would need a really big box, it might be cheaper to use delta dash and maybe a small kennel.

I just received 4 adult RFs weighing a total of 20# thru DHL for $200 shipping (Delta Dash has limited destintions). They shipped in pillowcase per tort, packed in peanuts in two boxes. Arrived in excellant shape. From Arkansas to Iowa.
