What is the International Pump & Ship?

The Milk Stork International Pump & Ship enables parentss to ship their refrigerated breast milk home when traveling internationally.

The Milk Stork International Pump & Ship is a 108 oz. cooler (the equivalent of a three-to-five day supply of breast milk for most moms) and provides a minimum of 90 hours of refrigeration from activation. Exterior dimensions are 12” x 8” x 10” and the cooler weighs 16 lbs. when full.

This cooler kit includes:

• Breast milk storage bags
• Circular seals to secure the exterior of the cooler*
• Tamper-proof stickers to secure each individual breast milk storage bag
• FedEx International Priority shipping label and paperwork - please note, if your FedEx shipping label indicates ETD then the label is the only document needed to ship, no extra paperwork is required. 

*Exterior seals may be broken and the contents of the cooler may be inspected by airport security.

Shipping Your Order to Your Destination:

Milk Stork Pump & Ships will be shipped to your international destination via FedEx International Priority and according to FedEx’s international capabilities. All orders require a lead time of (7) business days. Saturday delivery is not available for international orders. Prior to completing an order, please make sure to contact your hotel or destination to ensure they will accept the shipment on your behalf.  In some cases, a copy of your passport may be required to finalize the clearance process with customs. If this occurs, FedEx will contact you directly. If FedEx is unable to reach you, our Customer Care team will also attempt to contact you.

Shipping Your International Pump & Ship Home:

 All Milk Stork international shipping coolers will come pre-labeled with a FedEx International Priority label. This label will be marked "ETD" - which means your commercial invoice is electronically uploaded within the label. NO OTHER DOCUMENTS ARE REQUIRED. Once a FedEx employee scans this label, they will see all necessary documentation. Even with proper documentation, the international shipping of breast milk comes with inherent risks. Service disruptions, weather and customs inspections may lead to increased transit times.

Please make sure you are familiar with the international shipping regulations that apply to the countries in your itinerary so that your breast milk makes it home safely and on time. If you opt to bring your breast milk home as checked luggage, we have provided a travel duffel and luggage tag.

International Priority shipping back to the U.S. may take up to 3 business days - if you tender your package on a Thursday, it is likely that it will not deliver until Monday. A signature will be required for your delivery of milk back home. Please sign up for FedEx Delivery Manager to customize your delivery, manage delivery times and add a signature to your account.
