How to Get Ice Cream Delivered

How to Get Ice Cream Delivered

It's simple all ice cream companies online, including ourselves, put it in a styrofoam box with dry ice of -50F, then it's delivered by mail Majority of us use ground shipping. The reason why is because it's cheaper if we go with air travel. Every mail service has a limit of dry ice in a container from 3Ibs to 5ibs. That's a very high risk that you will receive the ice cream melted unless it's delivered the night of or the following day. 

This is because the decay rate of dry ice melting from a 2' styrofoam container will evaporate on avg of 3.5 to 4Ibs+. Once all the dry ice is gone, you have about 12 to 14 hours. Once that time is up, it's going to be liquid.

 Here is the process of how ice cream is delivered online 
‍

1. If you make an order Sunday or Saturday, it won't get processed until Monday or Tuesday. The reason why is Monday and Tuesday are the best days for all ice cream companies because of mail service by using ground
‍
2. We make the ice cream fresh. On Sunday or Saturday, in the process, we pasteurize it and the reason why is to kill bacteria such as 

listeria monocytogenes temperature kill 165ºF/74ºC

Escherichia coli O157:H7 114.8 °F 

Salmonella temperature kill 150°F  

Campylobacter jejuni temperature kill 140°F 

We reach 178F for 2 seconds. 

1. The ice cream base is cooled down very fast.
2.  Ice cream base is now turned into ice cream.
3. Put into sanitized ice cream containers. 
4. This is where the work happens. The order is then put in a 2" styrofoam box.
5.  Dry ice is put in a side styrofoam box, leaving it in the freezer for 24 hours. Not every ice cream company does this, but we do this because it gives us an extra day just in case your ice cream is delayed by ground mail.
6. After 24 hours, we will add in missing dry ice that evaporation 3.5 to 4Ibs but the great news is the ice cream is -50+F 
7. We ship it off to UPS. The reason why is they will add in dry ice if they are delayed. This isn't always the case. 
8. Delivered at your door 4 to 5 days. The days depend on where it's shipped if you get it faster, there is a warehouse or kitchen close by the reason why? How we lower, our shipping cost has to do with Zones.
