Land snails are really really resilient, and outdoors they usually cope with freezing temperatures by putting themselves into a sealed off hibernation. You can read about that here. The difficulty that transit presents is the change in temperatures that can be quite quick and large (like from a hot truck to a freezing outdoor mailbox). And younger ones have a harder time coping than larger ones (paywall, but the abstract spells out the findings).
Come January these babies should be in at a sturdy shippable size, but I do my best to make sure that they are comfortable on their journey in the heat or cold.
