    The very best way to ship frozen is to double bag and wrap them tightly in R13 insulation and bag them again then wrap in news paper. Shipping frozen during the summer is risky. Wait until it cools off in the fall and sell them then is the best way.

    I don't know if it depends on location, but here in TN, shipping thru USPS and FedEx is a lot cheaper than using UPS. I used to live in NC - and we used DHL with is also very reasonable. I don't have anything against UPS - but they are a higher than everyone else.

    If you're shipping frozen, I'd pay the extra for overnight delivery.

    You probably want to re think offering to pay overnight. It's gonna get expensive wrapped correctly. Insulation will add weight if it is done correctly.

    So reasonable that they haven't been in business for a year or more.
