How to ship perishable food

Perishable food: Can be described any food stuff that requires refrigeration such as a smoked turkey, cheese or fish (EW!).

Perishables 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 the perishable item wrapped in plastic wrap.
3. Remove perishable from the refrigerator at the last possible moment.
4. Place the plastic wrapped perishable item 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.
6. Then place the Styrofoam in the double corrugated box with at least 1/2 inch to 2 inches empty space.
7. Place packing foam or bubble wrap in the empty space.
8. Seal BOTH ends and corners with moisture resistant reinforced tape. Corners are very susceptible to damage in transit.
9. Place shipping label on the end that you want to remain up for the the journey.

Perishables may be shipped DHL, FEDEX, or UPS.
