Shipping Fresh Shrimp

I’m shipping 50 lbs of fresh shrimp to a customer in Chicago. I figure I can ship it in a taped, stretch wrapped ice chest, but I’m wondering if a bunch of frozen gel packs will be enough to keep the temp down enough. If possible, I’d like to avoid ice for obvious reasons. Any thoughts?

The frozen gel packs and insulation surrounding the Home Chef boxes work pretty well. See if you have a friend that uses a service like that and re-use the box. Otherwise, an ice chest with the gel packs should work just fine.

Hope it's a direct flight. I once shipped 50 lbs. to my ex mother-in-law in Dallas and the flight first went to Houston, where the cargo handlers removed the ice chest and it didn't arrive in Dallas when it should have. Luckily, she made inquiries and they found it in time to forward it and it arrived in good order.

I've worked all over the Country and shipped seafood, shrimp are easy if they are headless. Head-on is a different deal.

If you have concern buy some of the higher end gel packs like Yeti and such. They do work better than the academy types. I'm not a yeti fan, but I put one of their ice packs in my ice chest that had a little water in it, and that thing froze to the bottom of the ice chest. the ice chest was igloo.
