My delivery van's cooler died with a $1200 wedding centerpiece order inside on a 90-degree Tuesday in July.

I had to rush the whole load to a friend's walk-in at a grocery store 15 minutes away, saving the flowers but making me two hours late for the setup (which, honestly, taught me to always pack a backup cooler bag in summer, no matter what).

That Tuesday heatwave last July was brutal, my AC could barely keep up. I can only imagine the panic seeing that cooler die with a $1200 order in the back. Major props for the quick thinking with your friend's walk-in, even with the two-hour delay. Saving the flowers is a win, but that kind of scramble just wipes you out. The backup cooler bag lesson is one you learn the hard way, for sure.

Did you end up getting a backup cooler after that scare, @finley_shah64?

Grabbed a second-hand beverage fridge off marketplace. It’s not pretty, but it runs cold and fits in the van. Total peace of mind for under a hundred bucks.
