I'm a courier for an overnight delivery service, and I can tell you that even the most carefully packaged lobsters only have a 60/40 shot at making it 24 hours. Any more than that, well...
I end up delivering them to grocery stores and restaurants primarily - the complaints of dead lobster are constant. From what I've seen, the best kept ones are packaged in a styrofoam cooler, on ice, with another box to hold the cooler (because the lobster...y... water ALWAYS finds its way out of the cooler somehow).
