Fresh live crabs are transported by express delivery, and their survival rate is closely related to packaging, transportation environment and freshness of crabs.
Generally, a good courier company will transport fresh seafood such as crabs in a package similar to a refrigerator, and the whole process is almost cold chain, so that most crabs delivered by courier can live for 3-5 days in transit. However, because no food is given during express delivery, crabs will be hungry and thin during transportation, so they should be eaten as soon as possible.
Precautions for crab express delivery
1. Find a reputable courier company.
2. Give the crab to the courier. After confirming the fee, the courier will pack the crabs in the following ways.
3. Tie the crab claws and feet with cotton thread or fine cotton rope.
4. Then put it into a foam box, put it into an ice pack and fix it with soft fillers. It can also be used to insulate heat and prevent ice from melting.
5. Packed in cartons and sent by express delivery. Pay attention to leave pores to ensure the breathing and freshness of crabs.
6. For short distance, crabs are generally delivered by fresh cold chain trucks, and for long distance, they are air routes to ensure that crabs reach their destinations as soon as possible, so that consignees can eat fresh crabs as soon as possible.
