Guest guest Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 > Brett-I have shipped food stuff in a styrofoam cooler with a bunch of those disposable blue ice packs (you might ask your pharmacy if they have any that they usually throw away-I know we get them at the clinic with meds that need to be refridgerated). Anyway, then I sent it USPS next day air and it did fine-might be a problem in the real hot parts of the country this time of year. They never asked what it was or anything.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 When i have shipped refrigerated items, I just put it in the box with the cold packs, write needs to be refrigerated on the outside and ship it overnight. I've not had a problem - and I've used UPS and FedEx. Houston, Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 In a message dated 7/30/2007 6:22:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time, steelhead65@... writes: I called UPS today and asked if they shipped refrigerated items and they said I would have to call a1-800 # and tell them what I was shipping. So I was wondering if anybody knows a way to ship an item without them snooping. Brett if you go in later in the day and ship overnight, they're so busy trying to get it delivered promptly they don't mess with the packages. Plus its more likely to get there intact and still cold. Brett, did you ever keep the packaging from Kinneret? Otherwise, get a cheap insulated lunchbag with some dry ice preferably or really frozen blue ice thingees. good luck. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
