I use to run a wholesale Seafood company in Westport mass. We shipped vaccumm sealed shrimp and and crab claws to people all around the US.

We used UPS guarnteed overnight service, never had any issues and that was 8 years ago.

We use to get double or triple wall syrofoam boxes and these amazing gel packs from a place in new Bedford on the service road.

We put freeze the gel packs for as long as possible, shrimp were frozen 7 to 10 days, we also kept the foam boxes in the freezer, pack it all up and bring to the nearest drop off.

Even in the middle of summer the packages would make it 24 to 36 hours.

It was expensive for sure, but the customer paid.
