What is the best, easiest way to ship items that have to be kept cold?

Question

I'm trying to start a business selling cheesecakes online but I'm wondering how to send the cakes which have to be kept cold to customers that live far away!

Thank-you for all that answer. I really appreciate any advice!

Answer 1

When I lived in an isolated fly in community, we received items like that by air packed in special insulated cooler boxes.  If the cheesecakes are shipped by highway, there are trucks with cooler compartments.  How you do it depends on your volume of sales.

Answer 2

I've ordered from Junior's Cheesecakes before, and they use a styrofoam container and a reusable cold pack.  In place of the cold pack, you might also be able to use dry ice.
