How do you ship Q to friends across country?

[cheech]

I have some friends that have asked me to ship them some of my Q. How do you ship it with out it going bad? Will dry ice be good enough?

 

[rbranstner]

Probably freeze it and then pack it in dry ice or ice packs or somethign to keep it cold and send it next day air and it should be fine.

I think either UPS or FEDEX has a cold pak ship you can do, check with them to see.

Here's a link to FedEx's cold packing instructions. Very detailed with graphics and recommendations on coolant, etc.

I would do as pops tells you for he is a guru on meats and stuff like that too. Then you have 5lakes he has come up with some good advise too. I used pops way for shipping our son some snack sticks and bacon to Iraq and everything went just fine.

I would also vacuum pack it if possible

Thanks for providing the link. I'd also like to ship some of this stuff to relatives and never knew how to go about it.

Just be ready for some sticker shock. Overnight shipping is spendy.... I used to get boxes of NM Hatch green chili's sent to me till shipping got to be $80+ for a 20 lb. box. And you will be amazed how much a box can weigh.... it's not just what you put in it, but the weight of the packaging, dry ice, ect., it all adds up fast.
