How to ship perishable food
Cheese is a perishable food which requires refrigeration.
Cheese must be shipped NEXT DAY DELIVERY.
Materials
- Styrofoam Box
- Corrugated Box
- Ice Pack
- Moisture Resistant Tape
Procedure
1. Freeze ice pack before shipping.
2. Wrap cheese in plastic wrap.
3. Remove cheese from the refrigerator at the last possible moment.
4. Place the cheese in the Styrofoam box and with the ice pack.
5. Seal the Styrofoam container with reinforced tape around all the edges to insure no leakage of liquid during transit. Any sign of liquid in the box is cause for the shipper to inspect the item and causing delay of your delivery.

We came across this press release on a Funeral Service that specializes in shipping your deceased internationally. This makes allot of sense when you consider that we have become a global economy with people relocating not just from state to state but from country to country. The need to ship a loved one back to their country of origin would obviously necessitate overnight shipping as one would not want to put their loved on in a tanker to arrive 8 weeks later. Most people know that international express shipping can be very cost prohibitive for your average personal shipper. The idea of striving to make a shipment of this nature affordable is both timely and necessary.
Good Luck and Good Shipping,
