I have a frozen/raw cape to ship from New Jersey to NC. What is the proper or best method of shipment(packaging/service)?

But being it's getting cold out you can go two day air. But all hides that are green should be shiped overnight.
To ship it you can use a cardbord box and as for an insulator just cut up the foam insulation board that contractors use to isulate the outside of yor house. It's usually made by dow and comes in 1/2" to 2" sheets and are 4x8.
Hi Juliee,
If you live in the Mid central to Southern Jersey area, shipping to North Carolina {whole State} is 1 day through UPS and much cheaper too. I used the PO to send a raw fish to be done by a taxi friend of mine in Fayetteville NC {a four hour drive from me} and they took 3 days before it got there! Needless to say the fish was quite fishy by then. I'm not knocking the PO but in my experiences North Carolina for some reason, are very slow and packages seem to get lost in the shuffle regardless if you send express overnight or priority.
Wrap the frozen cape in fiberglass insulation.
