Did you get this shipment/transport accomplished?

Dry ice is a touchy issue. Using it can cause all kinds of issues. The main problem is any air/express package that ends up on a plane, and contains dry ice.

Ground packages aren't much of an issue, but a few years ago we had a customer put an Overnight package in the system that contained a small amount of dry ice and we caught holy hell about it. FedEx was very angry, and the FAA(!) was very angry. Yep, you get to hear from the federal agency that regulates airlines. No fun at all, and they aren't all that excited to hear any pleas of ignorance or "we didn't know".

Unfortunately, it's easier, and safer, to just have a "no dry ice" policy.
