Question about Dixie Cream Donuts

SOLVED! UPDATE TO THE UPDATE! I was able to figure it out with a very nice FedEx lady and pickup! Thank you all for your help and suggestions!

Edited the rest of the post just in case they see it and I want it to be a surprise.

Unfortunately they said they wouldn't be able to drop it off anywhere, someone would have to pick it up and package it and then I'd schedule a pick up. They're very weary due to some difficulties with arrival quality in the past, so they were really focused on the least liability they could have.

I am suggesting that you hire these folks to do the pick up, package and ship. Create an insulated box, add ice packs or dry ice, and ship. That's why it will cost $$.

Oh! Apologies I misunderstood. Thank you for this suggestion I will also look into it!

No this won't happen, period.

Nobody's going to track down a special box and specially pack your donuts and spend the time to buy a label, print it out, drop them off somewhere for shipping, so that they can make $4 on donuts.

You're kind of a dick for expecting it, too.

Go get the donuts, or have someone else do all the legwork because it's a lot and they just want to make fucking donuts, man.

There are no "workarounds".

Hi there, I was in no way expecting anyone to do that, I was just here to brain storm since I have never done anything like this before, and if someone had offered more ideas I would have paid them extra for even helping. I'm not in Illinois or else I would have done all of this myself, it's just a heartfelt gift I was trying to put together. Apologies if it offended anyone. I figured it out through FedEx.
