Frozen Meat Shipping Containers

[AllAces]

Has anyone here shipped frozen meat, say three pounds of bacon? If so, where did you get your shipping container? Did you ship with dry ice? FedEx or UPS?

Just about all of the shipping outfits have an express delivery method for perishable goods. So it becomes a matter of your convenience and choice as to which one. Check out their specific requirements for each. In most cases, you can simply styrafom line a cardboard box and then put your frozen goods in a thick plastic bag for a liner with (dry) ice. Dry Ice is typically used as that eliminates shipment of anything that could leak, however, it is also considered a dangerous good/hazardous material for air transport and has a separate form you have to fill out to declare it if it is going by air.

Be aware, for example FedEx Express says to pack accordingly for a minimum transit time of 24 hours greater than the delivery commitment date for domestic.
