A refrigerator boxcar (U.S.), a piece of railroad rolling stock designated to carry perishable freight at specific temperatures. Refrigerator cars differ from simple insulated boxcars (commonly used for transporting fruit) neither of which is equipped with cooling apparatus. Reefers can be ice-cooled come equipped with anyone one of a variety of mechanical refrigeration systems, or utilized carbon dioxide (either as dry ice, or in liquid form) as a cooling agent. Milk cars (and other types of "express reefers") may or may not contain a cooling system but are equipped with high-speed trucks and other modifications that allow them to travel with passenger trains.
Refrigerator cars, also commonly referred to by their shortened name as "reefers" were a revolutionary design that allowed for the widespread shipment of perishable food products such as dairy, meat, and vegetables. The earliest such cars date back to the mid-19th century, naturally using ice as a means of cooling. After the development of the frozen food industry in the 1950s the reefer began to lose its near monopoly on the country's perishable business. Likewise, by the 1970s railroads were dropping LCL (less-than-carload) and short-haul business allowing the trucking industry to pick up most perishable traffic, which continues to this day. However, refrigerator cars and their precious contents are making a comeback as perishable centers are becoming more centrally located and distances to the products' final destinations are becoming further and further.
Note #1: I will combine shipping for multiple items. Please purchase the items but do *NOT* pay. I will review and calculate shipping as close as to what I have to pay. I will then forward an invoice with the adjusted shipping. If you do pay ahead of this recalculation, I will refund the shipping difference as part of preparing the items for shipment.
Note #2: I want you to be happy with your purchase and would appreciate you leaving positive feedback. In the event you are not, please contact me immediately before leaving feedback so we may resolve it. Thank you.
Note #3: If not previously stated item(s) come from a smoke-free environment with cats.
Note #4: This is a Grandma & Grandpa shop. We have a 4-business day shipping window (this means that if you pay for your order on a Friday, it may not get shipping until the following Thursday). We do combine shipping especially when we are asked about it.
If you want combined shipping, please purchase all your items in one order. If you purchase items in more than one order, send us a message so that we know about the additional items and box the orders together. (When items are bought in multiple orders, we do not always notice they were bought by the same person unless we are notified by the buyer.) We refund extra shipping charges when combined shipping is requested. If we ship items separately, we do not issue a shipping refund.
For our international customers: YES!! we do combine shipping. The most economical way for you to buy multiple items from us is for you to send us a list of the items you want to buy. Do not purchase them as they are listed!! (This leads to higher than necessary fees & shipping.) Send us a complete list of all the items you want. Then we will cancel the listings for the items and turn them into a special listing just for you (We'll send you the listing named before making it active). It will have your full purchase with the correct shipping box size and weight. This saves you on the international fees & shipping.
