Can anyone post pics of the coolers from Petsmart? I just called and the guy gave me some weird dimensions of the coolers: "14 X 8 square"?!?

Just curious!

It sounds strange but do you have a Petsmart nearby? The get them in in several sizes (usually Thursdays) with their fish. The fish are shipped in plastic bags so it does not stink and they just throw/give them away. They have very thick walls on the cooler itself and have the boxes that go along with them. We got several this way and they hold up very well!

I used this company. The boxes held up for about 20 shipments. http://www.cameronpackaging.com/insulated_boxes.html

Looking for coolers to ship milk for TX preemie

Post by joybells1488 on Thu Dec 30, 2010 5:59 pm

Hi there,

We are trying to find breastmilk for our preemie (adjusted age 1 week, actual age 8 weeks). We had to use donor milk for our second daughter and had these great foam coolers in cardboard boxes that fit perfectly. We don't have them any more, and are trying to locate some new ones for our new baby's needs.

Anyone know where we might find some? Looking specifically for coolers that have cardboard boxes just for them so they can be shipped easily.

We are in the north TX area (Dallas) but having trouble finding many donors in that area.

Thank you,
Joy
