Before you ship, you’ll need to have your frozen stash of milk ready to go.

Here’s what to remember:

• Only send milk that has been frozen for at least 48 hours. This ensures it’s frozen solid and ready for safe transport.
• Store milk in pre-sterile breast milk storage bags.
• Lay the bags flat in your freezer to maximize storage space and make it easier when shipping.
• Add your expression date/time, notes and weights if desired
• We recommend weighing your milk with a kitchen scale or bathroom scale to ensure you have the correct shipping amount. Bag and bootle measurements tend to be inaccurate.

Pro tip: Weigh your milk with a kitchen scale to accuratly measure your milk.

When your BoobieJuice kit arrives, open the outer brown shipper box to find the Insulated container inside. This is your main cooler for transporting the milk. You do not need to add any dry ice or ice packs to the Insulated Shipper box. Keep the brown shipping box and all materials as they will be used when shipping to BoobieJuice.

IMPORTANT: Do not cut or damage the Velcro straps. These are used to seal the insulated container once it’s packed, and put back into the original brown shipping box.

Unstrap the Velcro to open the BoobieJuice Shipper. Inside, you’ll find:

• A shipping bag box liner
• An inner bag label to seal the shipping bag closed
• Your overnight return shipping label
• Water-activated tape

Remove these from the BoobieJuice Shipper and set them aside for later steps. Keep the shipping bag close by—you’ll be using it next.

Place the shipping bag back into the BoobieJuice container, and start loading your frozen milk.

Here’s how to do it right:

• Make sure the milk is frozen solid at least 2 days
• Weigh your milk with a bathroom scale and compare it with the processing amount you ordered. There are 16 oz in 1 lb.
• Load the bags on their side, and place them in nice and tight, as this saves space and keeps the cold better distributed.
• If you have wedge shaped pouches, place them fat side to skinny side to fit more evenly in the shipping box.
• Fill the box evenly to the targeted weight amount. Careful not to overstuff.

Tip: Avoid leaving too empty space – lining up pouch shapes to fit in the extra space helps maintain colder temperatures longer.

Once all your frozen milk is inside the lined box Use the inner bag label (included in your kit) to seal it. This helps keep the milk in place and prevent any moisture or frost from escaping.

Now it’s time to seal up the insulated cooler:

• Place the lid back on the BoobieJuice Insulated Shipper.
• Make sure the lid is flush. Do not overload the cooler
• Use the Velcro straps to secure the lid in place. A flush and flat seal maintains the correct temperature during the overnight flight.

Once the BoobieJuice Insulated Shipper is closed and secure, slide it back into the original brown cardboard shipping box.

– Now is the time to weigh the entire shipping kit to ensure you are on target for your order weight. Place the shipping box, with insulated cooler and milk on a bathroom scale or shipping scale to confirm your weight matches your inner bag label and UPS Overnight air Label. If you need help with your target amount call or text BoobieJuice at  602-456-1492

Use the included water-activated tape to fully seal the box closed.

• Start by wetting the tape with a wet sponge or towel
• Next place the moistened tape across the closed box tabs and rub the tape to bond the glue tape to the box. 
• Allow a moment for the tape to dry.

It’s time to prep your package for the carrier. This step is super important, so don’t skip it!

Here’s what to do:

• Remove or cover up the existing ground shipping label on the cardboard box with the overnight shipping label. This ensures your package is shipped via overnight delivery, to our lab and not delivered back to your home.
• Double-check that the total weight listed on the shipping label matches your packed box. If it doesn’t, contact BoobieJuice for help.

This step prevents delays—which could affect the safety of your milk. The shipping costs are already covered with the prepaid label.

You’re ready to ship your milk! But timing is critical here.

Ship ONLY on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.

This ensures your package doesn’t get held in a shipping facility over the weekend. 

• Check the UPS store locator for hours of operations and make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to AIR CUT OFF TIME if you are dropping off late in the day. Remember you may drop off anytime throughout the day.
• Confirm with the UPS staff your overnight package will go out same day and ask for a receipt with weight.
