The best way to ship frozen food is by using insulated shipping boxes, gel packs or dry ice, and expedited shipping (like overnight or 2-day delivery). Ensure the package is airtight and labeled "Perishable" to maintain temperature and comply with carrier rules.
Shipping frozen food typically costs $30–$150+, depending on weight, distance, and speed (e.g., overnight shipping is pricier). Dry ice and insulated packaging may add $10–$30. Use carriers like UPS, FedEx, or specialized cold-chain logistics for accurate quotes.
Yes! Couriers like UPS, FedEx, and DHL accept frozen food shipments if packed properly. Declare contents, use sufficient cooling materials, and check restrictions (e.g., dry ice limits). Local couriers may also offer cold-chain delivery options.
Absolutely. UPS allows frozen food shipping with dry ice (max 5.5 lbs per package) or gel packs. Choose UPS Next Day Air for best results. Label packages with "Frozen" and include a return address. Compliance with UPS packaging guidelines is mandatory.
