Abstract
Methods and systems for prescription drug shipping selection are provided. For example, a shipping temperature for a prescription drug may be identified. A forecast temperature may be determined for a shipping origin and a forecast temperature may be determined for a shipping destination. One or more potential packing configurations capable of achieving the shipping temperature between the shipping origin and the shipping destination may be determined. A shipping cost for each of the one or more potential packing configurations may be calculated. Packaging materials and labor cost may additionally be considered. Other methods and systems are described.
