I really appreciate that you talked about how it is worth the investment to research which shipping partner provides the best service for your business. My sister is getting ready to open her second restaurant, and she recently realized that she will need to figure out the best way to transport meat and other perishables from one location to another, so we are doing a little research for her. In my opinion, she should just partner up with someone that can help her not have to stress about this problem and focus on what she does best, which is cooking.

In reply to Tara F Meeks.

Anything is possible Tara, but I would check https://www.ups.com/maps to see if you can get it there within 2 days via Ground Shipping. If not it will be quite expensive to ship 2-day air. Some clients are able to make 3 day Ground work but you need thick insulation and a lot of dry ice.

I’m trying to find out if shipping an ice cream cake from VA to Missouri would be possible. I started a home sweets business last November, and have gotten word spread to other states now.

In reply to Will. Usually, the local or state health board is focused on food handling and certification of the food manufacturing space. When it comes to shipping, you need to make sure you can rely on your cold shipping system in a way that allows you to feel 110% confident that you won't get anyone sick! That's the #1 priority. If you plan to do over $500,000 of annual sales shipped, you will need to follow additional FDA regulations as a shipping facility.
