Yes they do have a dry ice or other packaging that keeps the contents in a frozen state at least over night; shipping recipient must be available to accept delivery at 10:30 on the morning following dispatch, or frozen-ness not assured.
As for the Canadian angle -- well not for me this time, wanted to send it as a gift. However I do like your idea, could actually be the start of a rum-raisin-running operation with huge potential!
PS, what is your favorite restaurant (or two) within an easy walk of Rittenhouse Square itself? What now occupies the former La Panetiere location which I think was at 16th and Locust? is that elegant old building even still there?
