dirtybirdsoaps Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I haven't used them yet, but I was curious about this as well for my soy candles and body butters and someone suggested them. I've heard great things, and they seem pretty good with prices on them as well as shipping materials. They also have little ice blocks for tight fitting. Hope this helps :smiley2: http://www.uline.com/Browse_Listing_2158.asp?searchedkeywords=ice%20block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 any one know where I can find dry ice packs in bulk and rather cheap?It is not DRY ICE, it is just ice packs. A sterial medium, liquid or gel, is inside a plastic sealed pouch. http://www.uline.com/Group_93.aspUline also has the foam bricks, too. http://www.uline.com/Browse_Listing_2161.asp?desc=Uline+Cold+Bricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisasst Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Sorry, no idea here. But... I just gotta ask... for?Yeah I know... curiosity killed the cat, but I'm a duck for shipping...I tested a "shippment" in our 85 plus temp and the candles melted less than 24 hours...

Candle Man Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 wow these things weigh alot!!Yes, the weight can add up.I tell my customers in order to ship candles in the summer heat I use Ice packs and the increased cost for them. I also tell them that the ice packs add weight which will make the shipping more, it also requires a larger box for the ice packs and extra peanuts. I make that statement clear for hot weather. If they want candles shipped they will have to pay the extra. If not they can wate till cooler weather.BTW - My Hot Weather Shipping is May-Sept. Yep, 5 months out of the year.

SatinDucky Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 for shipping...I tested a "shippment" in our 85 plus temp and the candles melted less than 24 hours...You're shipping candles to have them tested burned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisasst Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 You're shipping candles to have them tested burned?No no...I pretended to ship a package with my candles in it...( left it in my car) to see if they would melt and they did....

Candle Man Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 No no...I pretended to ship a package with my candles in it...( left it in my car) to see if they would melt and they did....Well that's not very accurate. Packages travel by truck amoung thousands of other packages and may be in the middle of it all those other packages and be just fine. They also travel by plane and at higher altitudes, where it is cooler, especially at night. Packages also are inside buildings during shipping.The best way to test is to send a package to someone you know, far away, and ask them what condition they received it in.Also you don't want a package to sit outside when it gets delivered. Always request that the customer uses an address that the package will be left inside an air conditioned building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Being that you're still in the beginning stage, you shouldn't have to worry about shipping in the heat. This year anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
