I just wanted to share a source of free styrofoam for making your own insultated shipping containers. Your local seafood store/department! We get most of our fish in in styrofoam containers. The department I work in (and I imagine others), ends up with so many of these that they are just throwing them away. It should just be a matter of asking. There may be an odour in the box but a couple hours soak with some hot water and a squirt of dish soap takes care of that.
Also, pet shops with a fish department often end up with lots of extra foam containers from their live animal shipments.
These foam containers are very dense and perfect for insulation.
If this is common knowledge I apologize for the repetition, but I found it very useful and economical. They are very easy to cut to the right shape. A box cutter works very well.
