Abstract
Method and system for customized configuration of a shipper for transporting temperature-sensitive materials. In one embodiment, a webpage application is used to allow a user to input certain information. Such information may include the shipping origin zip code, the shipping destination zip code, an indication of the courier used to transport the shipper, an indication of the desired temperature range at which the materials are to be maintained by the shipper, and an indication of the maximum payload size desired. Based on the inputted information and a selection methodology that determines the average ambient temperature to which the shipper will likely be exposed, a shipper is then selected from among a pre-selected collection of possible shipper configurations. Such a collection may include, for example, configurations designed to protect against hot ambient temperatures, cold ambient temperatures and intermediate ambient temperatures.
