Shipping Cream Cross Country

[Flatfoot95]

I am getting ready to fill some significant orders of maplecream to ship to the West Coast. My question is will it be OK being unrefrigerated during shipping? I also have a styrofoam box that I got from a Dr's office that had some cold packs in it. The only issue there is I would have to pay shipping on the cold packs along with the cream. Any suggestions or your experiences with this would be helpful.

I ship syrup to the west coast and I don't cold pack it. Cream should ship OK with no clod pack.

You may just want to plan when you ship. In case you didn't think about it. You'd be better off to ship on a Monday(tuesday for next week) so chance is good that it will get there say with priority mail in 2-3 days most likely 3. If you shipped today. It is still going to take 3 days but with sunday and a holiday your adding extra days of intransit time. Just something to consider.

I shipped some to California, and it then got shipped to Texas from there... no problem. I also shipped some to Arkansas. The worst that will happen is it seperates a bit... just stir the syrup back in, no problem.

Already ahead of you on the holiday weekend. The cream separating is the only problem I could see too but thought I would check with people that had some experience in the matter.

I have shipped Maple Cream to several other countries without a problem. If the cream is cooked hard enough to start with, it will keep out of the frig for about 2 weeks without seperating, even in hot weather.
