4 or 5 days in moderate temps,then in a plastic bag in freezer.
Before shipping or selling,take them out of the freezer and spread them out on a chickenwire rack or other wire mesh for a day or two,then sell.Dont store(except in freezer),ship or sell in plastic.

If you ship them they will get wet again in plastic and need to be re-dried. (Losing more weight). That is why many of us like to sell them at association sales or direct to a buyer w/o shipping woes.

What is the proper way to ship castors to an out of state buyer?

You can put the castors in an onion sac in a cardboard box,lined with paper to soak up any leakage while in transit.
