Shipping with dry ice is FUCKING expensive not to mention you need a federal license to ship it by air. Charging the customer so much extra in shipping (or taking a loss if you aren’t charging them full shipping price) is not ideal.

As someone who plans to sell frozen products I much rather my customers touch the Cold packs then dry ice packs. Why because I rather not burn my customers hands and get sued.

Dry ice and dry ice packs aren't the same. Packs are packs..dry ice usually evaporates and will never touch the person hand

If you know anything about parcel then you know the additional weight does not increase your charges, rather your dimensions on the box do. In addition to that, dry ice is a dangerous good in air transportation with FedEx and UPS, so therefore it makes the shipment more expensive. So the cold packs do not add any cost, but if you make the box bigger to accommodate them, them or the dry ice, every inch you add increases your shipping cost, and shipping via air adds costs. I can keep your product cold from my DC for 5 days on the ground.

Yes, it’s all in what’s called phase change. Simple ice packs will generally not keep anything below 32F for more than 45 hours. It does depend on the thickness and type of the insulation. But if you’re not looking for frozen there is no reason to use dry ice in most environments. However, staying under two pounds of dry ice will be a fantastic compliment to gel packs. Under two pounds is not a DG in ground transportation so it keeps the cost down. There is a very precise science to all of this. It’s not a guess, or an overpacking idea. Thermodynamics is a complex subject that given sufficient study can greatly improve you from “general practices” to absolute precision.

How much dry ice is used? I’m planning to ship a Tupperware container with soup that I froze. Everything I’ve read says not to use an airtight container? Does that mean the “shipping box”? OR what the soup is in. It’s a stupid question I’m sure but I need to know bc I’m shipping today or tmrw the latest so I came here to see how to pack it. I’ll get “under 2lbs” of dry ice that someone suggested in the comments. But I’d like to know how to pack the container of soup and what to put the dry ice in? Will a plastic bag work? Do I even need to put the dry ice in a bag? I’m shipping priority so I need the soup to stay frozen (OR at least cold if it melts) for 2-3 days. I saved my box from the last time I purchased an item that was sent with dry ice. I have a box like the one used in this video and I also have a reg brown box that has styrofoam pieces lining the box and also a styrofoam piece as the lid. I’m clueless and don’t want something to go wrong if I don’t do it correctly. I’m thinking the box is what’s not supposed to be air tight and not the actual sealed product I’m sending.

What kind of dry ice was used? Where is it in the box? Did I miss it? Or is it under the bottom styrofoam?

Dry Ice not dry ice packs... You won't see it because it evaporates but keep your product cold

@@brittanyroy8891 I have a package of frozen meals that I want to send to a friend who lives out of state (sending to Tennessee from Texas). I’m worried by the time I have it all packed up it’ll be pretty heavy. (Guessing 6-8lbs) The ice packs are pretty heavy. I plan to use three (large 4x10ish) ice packs placed between each of the frozen tupperware containers of food. I’ll buy a small chunk of dry ice that won’t weigh much at all. I already have the box with the insulation that I saved from when I bought meat from Omaha steaks. (Not great btw). When sending frozen packages of food very little dry ice is needed. If I end up with a 10lb pkg will it cost a lot? What I don’t want is to go through the bother of getting the dry ice and packing it all up, then get to the post office and I find out it will be $150 to send 2 day priority or $350 next day. Lol! I’m exaggerating a tad bit I know it isn’t going to be cheap. I’m ready to send this stuff before it gets freezer burn. Lol! I’ve been wanting to send this pkg for a couple months and I keep adding things to it. I’m worried if I pack it wrong and have to unpack it at the post office or if I didn’t do something right OR it’s gonna cost too much to ship. Appreciate you or anyone else that has any advice. ❤️ I just learned that I can take it to usps. I was kinda not sure where to ship it from. I doubt I can print a label on usps or pirate ship. So I’ll need to take it. But I can’t have an outrageous ship charge. I know sending flat weight/priority won’t work bc it could take longer than 2-3 days. How does it get sent with dry ice? Is there priority shipping rates? Clueless… And my God…. I edited my comment to make a correction and ended up writing a dang novella. 🙄😂 Another edit..>>>> ok so I just read that max weight is 5lbs to ship usps. It’ll have to be send fed ex of over 5lbs. And I’m pretty sure it will be.
