FAQs
Q. What days do you ship on?
A. Our regular shipping days are Monday through to Thursday for next day delivery. Depending on the Ship To location, we may be able to ship on a Friday for Saturday delivery but there is an extra charge for this. Contact us for more details. We do not ship on weekends.
Q. What is the difference between dry ice pellets and slabs?
A. Due to their size and density, slabs will last longer and are ideal for using in chest coolers, larger boxes, etc. Pellets are ideal for using in smaller storage items like laboratory containment trays, sample bags, etc. They're also handy to use for creating smoke effects.
Q. When will my order arrive?
A. Our shipping service is Priority Overnight, so under normal circumstances
it will deliver between 12-5pm the following day.
Q. I understand that dry ice is perishable and sublimates (melts) over time.
How do you guarantee that I'll receive the amount that I ordered?
A. Although not an exact science, we have tested sublimation rates in-house with our dry ice and packaging, and we add extra dry ice in every order to make up for sublimation loss in transit.
Q. Do I need to be present for my delivery?
A. Yes, we prefer that someone is there to accept delivery of your shipment. Our courier may leave you a delivery attempt notice where you can use it to request a new delivery attempt, but remember that it is a perishable item that we packed based on next day delivery.
Q. Is my order returnable?
A. No. Due to the fact that dry ice sublimates (turns from a solid into a gas), we do not accept any returns.
Q. What happens if my order doesn't arrive the next day?
A. Use the tracking number provided by us to locate your shipment, and if there is an issue with it please call us before 4pm EST on the expected delivery date and we will make enquiries.
Q. Is dry ice safe to handle?
A. Yes it is, but here a few tips for safe handling and storage:
It should only be handled by adults wearing gloves. Dry ice has a surface temperature of minus 78 degrees Celsius and can cause frostbite if handled incorrectly.
Dry ice displaces oxygen in the air, so always use it in a well ventilated area. When transporting dry ice in a vehicle, roll down your window to allow adequate ventilation, especially if you feel short of breath.
If you're using dry ice in a confined space, open the door and air out the area before entering.
Never place dry ice in a tightly sealed container or vessel, because as it sublimates to a gas it creates its own pressure.
Q. How can I contact you if I have questions about my dry ice order?
A. Contact our Customer Service team on 1-800-295-8495 between 8am - 3:30pm EST, Monday to Friday.
