Icon5 Shipping Nassarius Snails

Ok, I have sold off a few snails off and on when I get too many, and always just shipped them in a damp paper towel in a ziplock bag in a priority mail box. I bought mine that way years ago, and have always shipped them the same way and never had any problems until now. I put a few on ebay and had 3 people buy all I put up for sale, and they all showed up dead... What is going wrong? Is the summer heat getting them or what? My LFS told me to ship them with a few ice cubes in the bag and let it slowely melt, but if I reship the snails to these people I dont want them dead again. Thanks
