Shipping ice cream, explained.

We ship overnight to all 48 contiguous United States. Every order, every zip code, same overnight service — no slower transit for the farther-away orders. The cooler holds frozen for as long as overnight transit takes, and will be ok on your porch for a little bit if you are at the office when it is delivered.

We ship overnight Monday through Thursday only — that's how packages avoid sitting over a weekend if there's any carrier delay. The live estimate below is computed from today's date and skips upcoming blackout days automatically.

Every order ships in the same packaging system, designed to hold frozen well past the overnight transit window. Here's what's in the box:

The box is recyclable, the insulation can be safely thrown away or even melted in your sync.

Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide — it's safe to be around, but there are two things to know:

1. Don't touch it with bare skin. Use the included gloves, a kitchen towel, or grocery tongs to handle it. Direct contact can cause frostbite within seconds.
2. Don't seal it in an airtight container. As dry ice sublimates (turns from solid to gas), it expands — a lot. Always leave it in a ventilated space.

The rest is easy: once you've moved your pints to the freezer, just leave the leftover dry ice in the cooler somewhere ventilated (garage, porch, even outside in shade). It'll fully sublimate within 24 hours, no waste.

1. Grab it from the porch promptly. Our coolers hold frozen past the overnight transit window, but the faster pints get to your freezer, the better the final texture.
2. Open in a ventilated space. Because of the dry ice. You might see some white vapor — that's harmless, it's just sublimating CO₂.
3. Pull the pints out and check the temperature. They should be rock-solid. If they're soft enough that your finger leaves a dent, see the next section.
4. Move pints to your freezer immediately. They'll re-firm within an hour or two if they softened slightly in transit.
5. Leave the dry ice somewhere ventilated. Garage, porch, balcony. It'll fully sublimate within 24 hours.

Overnight shipping plus our cooler buffer means most orders arrive rock-solid. But when something does melt — usually a carrier delay or an unusually long porch wait — here's exactly what we do:

We don't ask for itemized receipts. We don't require you to send the original pints back. We don't bring it to a committee. If you say it arrived warm, we replace it.

• Ship to a different address. Just enter the recipient's address as the shipping address at checkout. Billing stays on your card.
• Pick your shipping week. Orders placed by Sunday 11:59pm PT ship Monday and arrive Tuesday. Orders by Tuesday 11:59pm PT ship Wednesday and arrive Thursday.
• Arrival notification. Provide the recipient's email address and they will get an email the morning of delivery so they know to grab the box quickly.
• Pricing transparency. Gift packs do not show pricing on the included card — the recipient won't see what you paid.

For sending the same gift to many addresses (corporate gifting, client thank-yous, employee milestones), see the next section.

For corporate orders, holiday client gifts, or any send to 25 or more addresses from a single order, we offer:

• Volume pricing — discounts start at 25 packs
• Custom-branded cards with your company logo
• Multiple shipping addresses on a single order
• A dedicated account manager for orders of 50+
