I can't say that surprises me Isaac Send a noteboard - 13/09/2011 04:21:35 AM
90% of the international dry ice food shipments that I used to do back when I worked at a UPS store were cakes.

"That's $300."

"Oh my. But it is Jimmy's birthday, and he does love my cake..."

Lady, send him the $300.


I suppose in a time when weddings tend to run what I'd consider a decent down payment for a house an elderly lady sending a distant grandkid a birthday cake is not that awful. I've seen people run the bidding up into the triple digits on pies at auctions enough times it shouldn't surprise me, but that's generally for charity causes.

No, not that stuff. That's an evil pretender. Rebekah - 13/09/2011 06:05:42 PM 249 Views
Make sure the country you are shipping to allows dry ice packages, then go to this site Isaac - 12/09/2011 07:01:04 PM 386 Views
I may have to look into this, thanks. Joel - 13/09/2011 02:58:48 AM 364 Views
Wow, I just realized what a grammatical nightmare that post of mine was Isaac - 13/09/2011 03:35:10 AM 372 Views

No biggy. Joel - 13/09/2011 03:54:18 PM 552 Views
Well, the dry ice itself is quite cheap, it's the shipping cost it adds on Isaac - 13/09/2011 06:10:40 PM 396 Views
I'm confused on exactly where you're talking about shipping to/from, but it's probably not worth it. Aemon - 13/09/2011 03:42:50 AM 294 Views
TX to Norway. Joel - 13/09/2011 03:35:43 PM 482 Views
I'm sure it's at least worth looking into Sareitha Sedai - 13/09/2011 04:23:55 PM 385 Views
Yah, the time issue looks like the real problem. Joel - 15/09/2011 12:46:23 PM 497 Views
But USPS is not UPS/Fedex Floffe - 13/09/2011 05:22:21 PM 237 Views
They'd probably do it, but not quickly enough, as Aemon noted. Joel - 15/09/2011 12:41:18 PM 248 Views
That's not fast enough. Aemon - 14/09/2011 12:42:26 AM 269 Views
Ah, I didn't think about the time factor; good point. Joel - 15/09/2011 12:39:54 PM 245 Views

I'll make a note of that, thanks. Joel - 15/09/2011 05:13:53 PM 521 Views
I don't know if that would work for NZ to the UK. Rebekah - 13/09/2011 06:04:52 PM 306 Views
Make sponge toffee yourself and add it to vanilla ice cream Helene - 12/09/2011 07:06:20 PM 383 Views

That sounds delicious, and also as though you could make your own. Morgawse - 13/09/2011 02:51:10 AM 279 Views
But I'd be so disappointed when it didn't work out. Rebekah - 13/09/2011 06:14:41 PM 287 Views
