I'm 5 min away from an excellent LFS too (Abacus Aquatics). Makes acclimating so so much easier.
Only thing I can add to the thread is that as well as a dark bucket, I drape a towel over the top. And chuck some plants in if I have any loose.
Its very satisfying putting pasty coloured fish in a bucket, dripping water on them for an afternoon without needing to pay any attention, just set and forget.
Then come back and see the colours nice and strong
