Please note the below descriptions of the additional weight and charges required for such items.

Refrigerated items must be delivered with a significant amount of ice in the package. For each heavy refrigerated item or heavy order (2 lb+) with refrigerated storage type there is an ice to product weight ratio of 1: 0.75.In other words, for every 1 pound of a refrigerated product’s weight, 0.75 pounds of ice will need to be included in the shipment. 

FROZEN ITEMS
