## Perishable & Cold-Chain Shipping Systems FAQs

### How do you stop perishables from sitting over the weekend?

Rules prevent shipping on days when packages would sit in a warehouse, and checkout shows customers their real ship date.

### Can you connect my store to UPS, FedEx and USPS?

Yes. We integrate carriers directly or through platforms like ShipStation, Shippo and EasyPost, with real-time rates at checkout and automatic label creation.

### Can you help with shipping perishable food?

Yes. We build rules for insulated packaging, ice packs and dry ice, ship-day restrictions and transit-time limits so cheese, meat and baked goods arrive in good shape.
