The company says Harris Teeter Delivery associates handle groceries meticulously to ensure they “maintain their original temperature throughout the entire delivery process—never breaking the cold chain.” Frozen items are packed in dry ice until they reach the customer.

Your ice cream always arrives frozen.”
