How to ship frozen meat, WITHOUT the hassle of dry ice!

Are you packing your box wrong? And does it matter?

Shipping frozen meat doesn't have to be scary or expensive. 

But if you've never done it before, shipping frozen, perishable products can be a confusing logistics dilemma.

Do it incorrectly, and your customer recieves a box of soggy, thawed meat that they're afraid to eat.

And you're out hundreds of dollars of meat, materials and time.

So it's no surprise that the number one question we get asked is, "How do I ship my meat?"

We've shipped thousands of boxes of frozen meat and learned that the keys to doing it effectively are: 

  • The right packaging.
  • The right coolant.
  • The right packing technique.
  • Discounts on shipping rates.

And we explain it all in this mini-course!

Katie with Choplocal has been very helpful teaching me all of the basics on how to become successful selling meat and from start to finish whether it’s learning about how to ship frozen products and even email marketing with these courses. I have put all of these tools to use to help me become more successful. I’m excited to see what else Choplocal has in store for the future!

Jim Gardner, Gardner Family Farm

I wish I found this course at the beginning of my company’s shipping journey! I knew a bit about shipping already but this course put everything together and gave me a step by step process. If I had found this course sooner, it would’ve saved me weeks of work time spent researching shipping...This course cured my analysis paralysis by helping me take the parts about shipping I recently learned, adding a few more things I didn’t know, and presenting the information in a step-by-step manner.

Additionally, the Q&A was very helpful because it gave me more confidence to just go for it and just ship already. Since they already did it, so can I.

I wanted to say thank you for the awesome shipping course! Now I have a plan to save money on shipping and that's what I was most worried about

How we learned to ship frozen meat!

When we launched ChopLocal in 2020, one of the first things we had to learn was how to ship frozen meat.

Unfortunately, there weren't a lot of resources out there, and most recommended using dry ice to ship meat.

Now, for farmers in rural areas, like us, dry ice can be hard to find and down-right expensive. So we started to explore ways to ship without dry ice.

Jared led the charge on Operation Shipping Frozen Meat, and started by collecting samples of different coolers and ice and gel packs.

Then, he packaged up some frozen meat, and left it in a hot area for a couple of days. He used a thermometer to track the temperature over time. (The thermometer has a USB end and can be plugged into a computer to see a chart of the temp.)

By testing several boxes of meat this way, Jared came up with a game-plan.

Then, he started shipping his frozen meat. He tested his packaging and coolant in the real world. And thankfully, it worked pretty well!

Since that time, we've worked with hundreds of niche meat businesses and processed tens of thousands of transactions on ChopLocal. Our vendors have used this same menthod to ship frozen meat with incredible success!

And now, we're going to teach you the same method!

We've shipped thousands of orders succesfully.

And we'll teach you how to do the same!
