Will gummies melt in the mail

The eternal concern of shipping gummies!

Gummies can indeed melt or become deformed during shipping, especially if they are exposed to high temperatures, humidity, or physical stress. Here are some factors that can contribute to gummies melting in the mail:

  1. Temperature: If the package is left in a hot vehicle, exposed to direct sunlight, or stored in a warm warehouse, the gummies may melt or become soft.
  2. Humidity: High humidity can cause gummies to become sticky, soft, or even develop mold.
  3. Physical stress: Gummies can become damaged or broken if they are packed too tightly, crushed, or subjected to rough handling during shipping.
  4. Shipping conditions: Packages may be exposed to extreme temperatures, such as those experienced during transportation in hot or cold climates.

To minimize the risk of gummies melting in the mail, consider the following:

  1. Choose a reliable shipping method: Opt for shipping methods that provide temperature control, such as insulated packages or cold packs, especially for gummies that are sensitive to heat.
  2. Packaging: Use sturdy, protective packaging materials, such as bubble wrap or foam inserts, to prevent physical damage.
  3. Cooling: Consider adding cooling packs or cold compresses to the package to keep the gummies at a stable temperature.
  4. Shipping during cooler months: If possible, schedule your shipping during cooler months (e.g., winter) to reduce the risk of heat-related damage.
  5. Monitor shipping updates: Keep an eye on your package's shipping updates to ensure it's not experiencing any delays or extreme temperatures.

If you're concerned about the integrity of your gummies during shipping, consider the following alternatives:

  1. Freeze-dried or powdered gummies: These forms of gummies are less prone to melting and can be shipped more easily.
  2. Liquid or syrup forms: These forms of gummies can be shipped in a liquid or syrup state, which reduces the risk of melting.
  3. Partner with a reliable supplier: Choose a supplier that has experience shipping gummies and can provide guidance on the best shipping methods and packaging materials.

Remember to always check with your shipping carrier for their specific guidelines and recommendations for shipping gummies.
