I have gone to the local airport Post Office and made no secret of the fact 
that they are fish.  The folks at the PO had no problem with it.  They ship 
dogs, cats, lizards, you name it.  I've never had fish refused, and they are 
the "official" carrier of the AKA.  When did this "official" policy go into 
effect?  I got my plane tickets for Detroit from Southwest ($99 each way), 
and they don't allow live critters of any type, so I have already decided 
that if I bring fish back from the auction, I will be stopping at the airport 
post office on my way out of town.

Dave Soares uses UPS exclusively.  They pick the fish up at his house.
