Question!

[kiffie]

Tomorrow, I am going to attempt to mail my aunt some fruitcake. Now, as said aunt lives in Pennsylvania, it will probably take near a week to get to her. In preparation for this trip, the fruitcake has been liberally soaked in rum (to kill off any spoilage organisms on the outside) and wrapped in foil. It will be put into a mostly airtight Ziplock in the morning, then into its mailing box.

What else should I do? Has anyone else on my flist had any experience mailing delicious noms across the country?

Purchase one of those igloo lunch box thingies and mail it in it...? O_o

Other than that I have no idea.

I ended up wrapping it in tin foil, into two Ziplock bags, put that inside an aluminum tin thingy, then that inside a box.

It's like a matryoshka of omnomnom.

You should send me a piece for quality control purposes.

Otherwise, I think the packaging you've mentioned should work just fine. :D

Some year, I will send little fruitcake bits to everyone on my flist. I just ran short on funds this year, else I would have attempted something like that. :9
