How many days is a semen shipper tank good? I ordered a bunch of semen for myself and three others and I asked that they mail it on a Monday. I was ordering from ABS in Wisconsin and I knew it would be 5 days or so by truck or rail and I did not want the tank setting over the weekend during a heat wave. I called ABS after putting my order together online that same day and asked them to add a few more straws and to make sure not to mail it out until the following Monday. I explained that I did not want it held up over a weekend. The person on the phone assured me that it would be mailed Monday.
When I did not get confirmation by email of the added straws, I called to check and I was told they were added, but the shipment was sent out on Tuesday. It arrived in Portland by train at midnight last night, and is headed south now. I called UPS in town yesterday and asked that they call me as soon as it arrives and I would pick it up. They will not be open until Monday. It will be 6+ days in the tank by then. Will the semen still be good?
