Before ordering, ask about insulated packing, cold packs and what the seller does if delivery is missed.
Arrange delivery when someone can collect it, so perishables are not left outdoors at room temperature.
Inspect packaging for damage or leaks and check whether insulation and frozen gel packs worked.
Where feasible, use a food thermometer to check that refrigerated perishables arrive at or below 40°F (4.4°C); frozen items should remain frozen or show ice crystals.
Refrigerate or freeze safe items promptly and separate raw meat and fish from ready-to-eat foods.
If chilled foods arrive above 40°F (4.4°C) or are left too long, do not taste them; contact the seller and discard food when safety is uncertain.
