Storage & Uses
Store bay leaf in an airtight jar or container and keep away from direct light. Since they lose flavor early, they should not be kept for longer than a year.
Shelf-Life
Fresh bay leaves can be placed in a sealed zip-top bag and stored in the refrigerator where they will last for a week or two. Dried bay leaves can be stored in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark spot, such as the spice cabinet or pantry; they will last up to two years before losing their aroma.
Storage Tips
Fresh bay leaves tend to be rather bitter, and drying them tempers their bitterness. When dry, store bay leaves in an airtight jar of sealed plastic bag out of direct sunlight at a temperature between 65 and 70 F. (18-21 C.) for up to a year.

A shipment description, or parcel information, is asked in those rare cases that a courier company is trying to locate your parcel because it became unreadable due to a fallen off label or an unreadable label. We will go through the process and tell you what parcel information you have to give.
The shipment or order details, on the contrary, is a summary of all the information regarding a parcel that a shipper wants to send to a receiver. It contains information about the pick-up and delivery address and contact person. It is of great importance to us and the courier that we are fully aware of the content of the parcel (it’s weight, dimensions, specific content, …) because it helps us to asses which service would be the safest and cheapest for you. Having a thorough parcel content description will avoid problems during transport, for example when a courier has to pick up a parcel that is much heavier and bigger than mentioned.
