One of these two groups provides the dry ice, i don't know which, but what matters is one does. so, if you really want fred's, here's how i recall doing it. When i called, i let them know i wanted to get some fred's shipped to some friends out of state. I was told that they don't ship, but that they can provide boxes for shipping the fred's (i think there's just one size & since shipping is so costly, i ordered as many steaks as would fit in the box to make it worthwhile) & then i would have to make the arrangements for shipping myself. I asked if there was a shipping outfit they could recommend, or had worked with in the past & was given the number to one. I then ordered the steaks for pickup by the named outfit. I then called up the number provided (wish i could provide the name & number but since i wasn't expecting to repeat, i wasn't good about keeping the information.) they laid out the pricing, i agreed to it, paid by credit card & they took care of the rest. fyi there are three grades for fred's. i forget what they call them, but i will refer to them as regular, premium, & kobe. I got a kobe fred's for a friend's birthday (it was some milestone, or at least that's what i told myself to justify the expense) & omg!!! If you thought regular fred's was awesome... Kobe fred's... *drools* *shakes self out of trance* *cleans self up* that said, it's also pretty darn pricey & definitely something to be saved for very special occasions. |

Dry ice shipping is incredibly expensive cause it's considered a hazerdous material (for good reason). An improperly packaged dryice container can cause an explosion.......Fedex wouldn't ship for Temple University for a few years due to a package containing HIV infected blood being packaged wrong and blowing up in their truck. So yeah..... usually around $70 min for dryice shipping

As for providing the information, I'm glad to do it, as it would be a shame for folks not be be able to get Fred's if they REALLY want it. |

Lornac and I will be attending, what can we bring?
Something has come up, and as of now Meg will not be attending the Thanksgiving Party. Plans for his holding a Justice Ohio Christmas Gathering are also on hold for the time being.
Changes to any of these arrangements will be posted here or in a new thread.
Apologies in advance, and thanks for your understanding.
I really need to read the forums more... I just saw this thread and after seeing how much fun Hero-Con was and how represented Justice was, I really wish I could attend your event this year but I am scheduled to work.
With that being said, I intend to do whatever I need to make it to Hero-Con next year and maybe the Thanksgiving event also, since I live in Ohio.
