While in college I went back home for the weekend and when I came back there was a package of homemade cookies on the table and my roommates said help myself. I pick up the box and as I start eating the last cookie the front doorbell rings. Its a guy saying he had a package accidentally delivered to his house that had his perscription glasses and cookies his mother baked for him. As I’m chewing I’m like, “Oh shit, sorry” and hand him the box with his glasses and no cookies… My roommates were assholes.
Ok Rachel, pass me a fork. We have to down this thing before Joey gets home.

Easily:
- Not a fan of cheesecakes.
- Eating something that really needs to be refrigerated but stayed in carton box in who knows what conditions for a who knows how long?
- Boxes are reusable. So there might be kids socks and a yellow sweater inside.
- Well, it belongs to someone else…
That’s what ice packs are for.
By the size of this box it’s likely a styrofoam cooler inside, with ice packs inside that, and the cheesecake was frozen to 10 below. AND… it would be shipped overnight.
You really think a bakery wouldn’t know how to ship a cheesecake?
Though #3 is compelling
It’s in the mail and not refrigerated. How processed is that cheesecake that it’s stable at room temp? Or is it?
Ice packs in the box. A lot of food subscription delivery service packages look like this. The inside has an extra layer of thicker paper to resist condensation
The fancy ones use dry ice instead of regular
I’m aware, but it’s still time sensitive. Either way, this box isn’t tempting.
Wait until you hear about people who leave butter outside the fridge for days at a time.
OP could put the box in the fridge while waiting for a response. I’ve done this for neighbors who were getting back home the next day and their perishables came early.
