Pick your size

Every kit is one price with nothing extra to buy. Cooler, GPS tracker, metro collection, prepaid return shipping, processing and labelled sachets are all included. If you're between sizes, go up, since we can always dry less than the kit allows.

Between 6 and 10 litres, or over 12? Get in touch and we'll quote you a custom rate.

You're between our Large and Extra Large kits. The Extra Large will comfortably cover you, or get in touch and we'll quote a custom rate for your exact amount.
Over 12 litres, lucky you. Get in touch and we'll sort a custom bulk rate.

Estimates based on full bags. Weighing your stash? Storage bags add roughly 6 to 10g each, so your true milk volume is a little under the scale reading. When in doubt, size up.

Before you order

Your kit ships within 3 business days. From the day your milk reaches us, processing takes 3 to 4 weeks. If you're working to a deadline like a trip or a return-to-work date, we offer a 7 day express turnaround, so just tell us when you order and we'll sort it.
One price covers the whole thing: your insulated cooler and GPS tracker sent to you, free metro collection, prepaid overnight return shipping, the freeze-drying itself, water activity testing, and your powder returned in labelled sachets. There is nothing else to buy and no per-litre surcharge inside your kit's allowance.
Sending less is completely fine, you just won't use the full allowance. If you send more than your kit covers, we'll get in touch before processing and sort the difference. Nothing is ever dried without checking with you first.
Your kit includes a medical-grade insulated cooler and a GPS tracker, and return shipping is overnight. You can follow the package the whole way. If anything looks wrong on arrival, we contact you before we do anything.
Breast milk is about 87% water, so what comes back is roughly 13% of what you sent by weight. Add the water back and you get the same volume of milk you started with. Mixing instructions come printed with every order.
Metro collection and return shipping are included in your kit price. Some rural areas may incur a separate shipping fee, which shows at checkout if it applies to your postcode. Not sure? Send us your postcode before you order and we'll check for you.
Many mums tell us their baby took to the freeze-dried powder more easily than the same milk from the freezer. Results vary from bub to bub, so if this is your main reason for coming, talk to us before committing your whole stash.
