hi helen,
Thanks for the quick reply. Shipping is pretty easy. I send you a shipping container and coolant. The coolant is an industrial strength gel pack that is a nontoxic dry ice substitute. When it arrives you just throw it in the freezer for a day or two. Then when you are ready to ship let me know a day or so in advance and I arrange online for a fedex pick up for overnight shipping and email you the label. Do you have a printer? Then you just pack everything up on the day of pick up and tape the label on. Fedex usually likes a 6 hour window in which they can pick up. Hopefully that would work for you. Monday thru Thursday pick up is best. Friday is available sometimes but it is way more expensive because then it is a weekend delivery.
Would you be willing to share your prenatal blood work? Milkshare recommends rpr/treponema, hiv , hep b and hep c. They are all pretty standard except the hep c.
We can talk more off this site if you want. You can contact me at nannette(at)kitenerd(dot)com.
thanks a bunch
Nannette

as for your message, i found the following links informative:

i was curious how much milk you have available to ship. as this can be very expensive, i want to make sure that it is financially feasible. one of my best friends paid $161 to ship 24 ounces to me last week...& i thought milk banks were expensive!!
i can set up a fedex account so that you are not waiting for my check to reach you for the shipping costs as they can be rather expensive.
thanks so much in advance!

FROZEN Breast Milk available in Oakland County MI
I am a mom of a 14month old and have not been giving her BM for quite some time. I have quite a bit of frozen milk available that I would rather not throw out that is taking up freezer space. I stored it as I was transitioning her to formula and continued to pump for a while b/c she had lactose sensitivities and wanted to make sure that she transitioned smoothly.
Please contact me if you are interested.
Regards,
Helen
