I think it will be fine, bacteria is the main reason it's "live" rock. Bacteria should do fine an extra day or so on the road. The rocks should be packed in good with some wet news papers and such so it wont dry out or anything.

It'll be fine. Remember, it wasn't shipped in water from southeast asia to the wholesaler in the US or UK in water either...
