Is Sending Food By Post Good?

Many store owners selling food products are still wondering if it is possible to send food by post.
The article below from World Courier will answer the above questions for you.

Is it possible to send food by post?

You can send food by post, however, depending on the different types of food, each shipping unit will have different strict regulations.

These foods are not accepted by post

Fresh foods: meat, fish, shrimp, crab, eggs,…
Foods with high germination ability.
Foods that have a strange smell or are damaged.
Foods with strong odors: durian, jackfruit,…

Food items need to be noted when sent by post

Dried seafood items such as dried fish, dried shrimp, dried squid, etc. All need to be packaged carefully, without being opened.
Fish sauce (seasoning sauce, fish sauce,…), and cooking oil: Must be stored in bottles that are tightly corked and sealed to avoid leaks.

Normally, these types of foods will use express shipping services to minimize possible risks during transportation.

Alcohol products

Alcohol and beer stores can rest assured because this item is also accepted to be sent by mail. However, there are some points to note about this item:

All products sent must be genuine, with documents proving clear origin.
The concentration of alcohol must not exceed 24 degrees
State product content so staff can provide appropriate shipping plans.

Some notice when packing food orders

To minimize the problems that occur during transportation with your order, you should note a few points when sending food by post:

You should send foods that have a long shelf life and are still full of gas so that when they reach the recipient, the quality remains intact.
For dry foods, you should vacuum seal the product to avoid being penetrated by bacteria in the air, while maintaining high quality and aesthetics, saving a lot of space when packing into boxes.
For foods with glass or ceramic shells, you should use foam containers or air bubbles to avoid impact.
You should attach a note to fragile products for the shipping unit’s attention.
For specific foods such as having a strong smell or not being able to be preserved for a long time, the post office does not support shipping services. You can consider using other shipping services for a timely response.
