A reusable shipper container has a container body with a payload chamber for holding goods and a lid operable to access the payload chamber. The reusable shipper container also has one or more sensors in the payload chamber to sense humidity or temperature of the payload chamber or the goods. The reusable shipper container also has a tablet display screen detachably coupled to the container body that communicates with the sensors in the payload chamber.

Reusable portable shipping container

A portable container includes a cooling unit with a vessel and a base. A thermal cover can cover the vessel to insulate a chamber in the vessel that holds one or more goods. The vessel has a cavity filled with a phase change material or thermal mass, and thermally conductive plate(s) extending within the cavity and in thermal contact with the phase change material or thermal mass. The base is attached to the vessel and houses thermoelectric module(s) in thermal communication with the thermally conductive plate(s), a heat sink in thermal contact with the thermoelectric module(s), a fan operable to flow the air past the heat sink, and circuitry that operates the thermoelectric module(s) and fan. The thermoelectric modules are operable to charge the phase change material or thermal mass, so the charged phase change material or thermal mass (once charged) passively cools or heats the chamber.

The reusable shipper container also has a tablet display screen detachably coupled to the container body. The reusable shipper container also has an inner lid assembly with one or more doors selectively movable between a first position over the payload chamber to close the payload chamber, and a second position to allow access to the payload chamber. The reusable shipper container can have a display screen on an underside of the lid that can auto-display information or autoplay videos, for example, when the lid is open and/or the shipper container has arrived at its destination.

The reusable shipper container also has a tablet display screen detachably coupled to the container body that wirelessly communicates with the sensors in the payload chamber and that displays one or more of an electronic shipping label, packing instructions, return instructions and maintenance status.
