What's the furthest you've shipped anything to? Any special preps? Imitations of Omaha Steaks delivery methods? Any "if I'd only known" stories? How about cold-smoke cured only (not cooked) items, like cheese, lox, or bacon?
I exchange gifts with friends across the country and in Europe & Asia, and next year would like to send some things from the smoker. I've sent jerky (real jerky, just salt & peppered, dehydrated, and vacuum packed), but nothing really perishable. I'd like to start getting ahead of it now so I can plan for next year.
I looked into shipping some meat and cheese to my brother in the Philippines. Ran into dead ends. If it is a food product, and not in a can forget it. Others I dont know.

Scottsdale's about 30 minutes from here. Next time, ship it to me and I'll deliver it for you. I promise. ;)
