Refrigerated items
Note: While we cannot store perishables, we can store shelf-stable and non-temperature-controlled items, like snacks (nuts, etc). Some things to keep in mind:
- The warehouses are not climate-controlled
- We do not package items with dry ice (therefore, cannot keep cold in transit)
- We don’t check expiration dates. So we recommend ordering the exact quantity for your marketing campaign for a quick turnaround.
- We don’t recommend sending anything that could melt (like chocolate chips); however, sending during the winter/cooler seasons should be fine, but this is very much a “send at your own risk” given the criteria above
