How Can I Ship Perishable Food? Essential Tips and Best Practices
When transporting the perishable food, use the insulated containers that come with a gel pack or dry or ice packs to regulate the temperature. The food items must be pre-cooled or frozen. Work with an experienced carrier that can provide options for express, refrigerated transportation; it is advisable to avoid transport over the weekend or on holidays. Do not forget to write ‘perishable goods’ on the package and give the receiver detailed instructions on how to deal with the unpacked product. Use tracking services on the shipment for accurate handling when delivered.
