Is there anything better than a warm, fresh-out-of-the-oven baked good? Unfortunately, unless you're providing said goods to your lucky friends and family members in person, getting them from oven to stomach can be quite the challenge. Here are some tips on how to ship baked goods with ease.
1. Before packaging baked goods, allow them to cool. Only cool-baked items should be packaged.
2. Each object should be secured. To help keep single treats intact, wrap them in food bags, parchment, or other packing wrappers. Sticky snacks are also kept separate by individual packaging.
3. Make sure there is no space for error. Any available space in the box should be filled with bubble packing or foam.
4. Shake your package vigorously. Reopen the packaging and add more padding if you hear rattling and see any left-over space in the box.
After you have finished packaging, you will most likely be asking how to send baked goods. That is when you will need to look into courier services. To save money and get your baked products to their destination quickly, you need a quick and economical shipping option.
Fortunately, many international and domestic courier firms provide appropriate services for transporting baked products.
Costs are primarily determined by three factors: the package's location, weight, and size, as with other shipments. A shipping rate calculator can provide you with a good idea of the expenses for each of your orders.

If you are wondering, "How can I export baked products internationally?" All carriers such as UPS ship baked goods and deliver your items to foreign destinations worldwide, including Canada, Europe, and Asia. You may even provide baked goodies to military addresses via USPS.
Baked products can only be shipped within the United States if sent from one person to another. On the customs declaration, it must be labeled as a gift. Some nations do not allow the shipment of home-baked foods at all. For example, Australia's mail service only accepts professionally manufactured and packaged commodities with no raw materials. Make sure to double-check this before shipping. You may also have to think about taxes.
So now that you know how to ship your baked goods with ease, what are you waiting for? Start packing those goodies up and shipping them out! And if you don't want to deal with the hassle of fulfillment yourself, no problem. Just get in touch with our team at Simpl and we'll take care of everything for you. We can't wait to hear from you!
