Can I safely ship an unopened can of soda?

Question

Is it likely to explode due to heat or being shaken around in transit? I would probably use the US Postal Service...

Answer 1

it should not explode because it gets shacken around in delivery and also when they store  it in warehouses.some of the places that i mention are hot so are cold  and some are just right.i cant say with a hundred percent that they wont but i beleive that it wont matter.i worked for an airline and we sometimes had to send softdrinks from one city to another and they didnt explode.

Answer 2

As long as you package it properly it will be fine. Soda cans will sometimes explode if they are dropped but bubble wrap or other packing materials will cushion any impact.

Yes, the can will get heated and shaken up during transport. This is not a cause for concern though. Keep in mind that before you ever purchased it, that can did alot of traveling in those same conditions. Believe me, soda cans are designed to be transported easily.

Answer 3

I think you'd be safe if you put it in padding and tape it on tight, possibly bubble wrap. =]

Answer 4

I would say is is possble, I would send it UPS though, they offer shorter transit time and insurance is included in price.  I would wrap them together with plastic wrap to keep them from banging around and then put them in a strong box with bubble wrap

Answer 5

Ok, sounds a bit weird but if you pad it with bubble wrap and put it in a sturdy box then it should be perfectly fine.

Answer 6

Pack it properly and you can ship just about anything!!

Answer 7

Why do you want to ship soda? anyway, maybe, it depends what carrier you use, and where it is going. In the long run, ups is probably the best route to go...
