My friend wants me to mail her some Honeycrisp apples (delicious for those of you not from the midwest)

Anybody ever mail fruit before? Think they need like a cooler or something to keep fresh? Just toss em in a box with some packing foam?


Also, though I'm sure everyone has already seen it, obviously this is the best way to send an apple computer. P P P Powerbook!!!
 
cooler with dry ice? dont some companies send food that way? id call the USPS or whoever you plan to ship with and see if theres any requirements so they dont hassle you about the packaging and such

😕

Im on the west coast and I had 3 this week.
 
Vacuum seal plastic, dry ice cooler.

Had a honeycrisp yesterday, more in the fridge.

harry and david ships fruit all over the place and they don't use dry ice for it. just nice foam and overnight.
 
i had some for the first time a couple of weeks ago. people on here act as if they are crack cocaine. they are good though

Maximum of 5lbs dry ice per shipment with FedEx or UPS.
 
Check with your state ag dept and the state ag dept. where you're shipping to.

There are LOTS of restrictions on the shipping of fruits/vegetables/live plants, designed to help prevent the spread of pests.

For example, parts of Washington State have the apple maggot. NONE of the above can be transported into Kahleeforneeya.
 
Even though they were originally developed in Minnesota, I think they sell Honeycrisp nearly everywhere in the U.S. now.

According to Demetri Martin you can't ship apples without appearing insane unless you send a fruit basket.

Haha, so true.

Also: "'I'm sorry' and 'I apologize' mean the same thing...except when you're at a funeral."
 
Hmmm . . . hadn't considered the legality of it.

Dude who said he was from the west coast (sorry, I'm to lazy to scroll up and check your name) where are you from? She's never heard of them and apparently they are tough to grow in anywhere but colder climates, at least from what I've read. I'm far from a fruit expert though, so I may be talking out my ass.
