Bay Island, a Minnesota-based supplier of specialty food gift baskets, serves some of the largest retailers in the country. Their seasonal products delight millions of customers each year, especially during the holidays. But with perishable goods, rising volumes and peak season shipping pressures, they needed more than just trucks — they needed a partner.

With strong carrier relationships, advanced processes and expertise in cold chain logistics, Worldwide Express delivered the reliable food shipping solutions Bay Island required to protect temperature-sensitive products while improving costs and efficiency.

Bay Island Shipping Challenges

Bay Island's previous logistics relationship left them paying too much for too little service. With perishable products and heavy seasonal demand, the stakes were high — especially during holiday shipping surges.

Key challenges included:

  • Non-competitive rates: Paying premiums without receiving value or attention from carriers.
  • Poor processes: Limited tracking and no consistent delivery verification for temperature-controlled shipping.
  • Inattentive service: Unresponsive carriers during crucial peak season shipping months.
  • Perishable freight risks: Specialty foods required specialized trucks and careful handling.
