Frozen Food: delivery and storage

[Roman K]

I'm trying to figure out whether it would be OK to order frozen food in summer. What outdoors temperature do you think is all right for frozen food to get delivered and not thaw?

For how long can you store frozen SF brine shrimps and Hikary blood worms in a freezer? Does any firm that produces frozen fish food provide any storing instuctions?

Normal freezer maintains temp around 0F. Would it be worth extra money to get a freezer that maintains -13F?

they will deliver frozen food all year. You have to buy ten pounds or more at some places.

most freezers stay between 0 and 10 degrees. you need a freezer to stay below 14 to freeze meat and to keep ice cream in it. just because a freezer can make ice doesn't mean it is working right. water freezes at 32. that not that cold. not cold enough to freeze salt water. that takes 14 and thats whats in meat.

want to add that if your putting that food in a frost free freezer that will shortin how long you can keep it..its better to store it in a freezer that you have to defrost yourself..
