Fast Tips for Easy Perishable Shipping

Perishable shipping. The words just sound intimidating, don’t they? And truth be told, perishable shipping is a bit trickier than most other types of shipping. But it’s also not as difficult as most people think. With a few simple tricks, you can rest easy knowing you’ve given your perishable shipment the protection it needs to reach its destination fresh and in great condition.

Here are some fast pointers for perishable shipping.

• Choose a reliable perishable shipping company—Not all companies are prepared to handle perishable shipments. You need to choose an experienced perishable shipping company that has specific equipment and procedures for accommodating these shipments without any complications.
• Use the right shipping container—The right shipping container changes everything. Depending on what type of item you’re shipping, you may need an insulated container or a specific product-approved box. Your perishable shipping company should be able to make a recommendation to you.
• Add in perishable packing materials—If your shipment needs to stay frozen, you should pack the box with dry ice. This will keep the items frozen until they can be delivered. If it only needs to be kept refrigerated, frozen gel packs should suffice at keeping it cold enough.
