Has anyone ever shipped something in dry ice? I do not usually ship my whipped body butter unless the temps are right in both areas and even then would rather not ship it. I have a customer that moved and really cannot find one she likes better and asked me to please ship some. I was thinking maybe in dry ice, anyone know how that would work out? Thanks!

I haven't tried dry ice, but I did use the little freezing packets once. I gave up on body butters. Palm Springs is just too hot and for me they don't ship well.

Dry ice would freeze it solid. I've gotten frozen mice in the middle of summer from across the country shipped with dry ice, they were SOLID! Usually when I order perishables, even in the summer, they are shipped with ice packs. It's also pretty expensive to ship with dry ice from what I understand as the carton has to be a specific type and only certain couriers will allow it. The "fumes" from melting dry ice can kill if they aren't properly taken care of.

Thanks Heather I did not know either of those things. I will try the ice packs and wait for a cooler week to ship, just has to go from Vero Beach to St. Augustine FL worse case it melts, she could re-whip and it will be as good as new She wants to give it a try, I will not charge her for this and include in her order.
