Insulated shipping container and method of making the same. In a preferred embodiment, the insulated shipping container includes an outer box, an insulated insert, an insulated cover, a payload container and a plurality of coolant members. The insulated insert is snugly, but removably, disposed within the outer box and is shaped to include a plurality of sides and a top. The top includes a raised peripheral edge and a recessed shelf. A large rectangular prismatic cavity surrounded by a plurality of smaller cavities extends downwardly from the recessed shelf. The large cavity of the insulated insert is adapted to receive a payload container. Each of the smaller cavities of the insulated insert has a “top hat” shape when viewed from above that includes a crown portion and a brim portion.

1. An insulated shipping container comprising: (a) an insulated insert, said insulated insert being a unitary body shaped to include a bottom, a plurality of sides and a top, the top including a raised peripheral edge and a recessed shelf, at least one product cavity and at least one coolant cavity
1. An insulated shipping container comprising: (a) an insulated insert, said insulated insert being a unitary body shaped to include a bottom, a plurality of sides and a top, the top including a raised peripheral edge and a recessed shelf, at least one product cavity and at least one coolant cavity extending downwardly from the recessed shelf, the at least one coolant cavity, when viewed from above, having a top-hat shape comprising a crown portion and a brim portion, the at least one coolant cavity by an intermediate piece of insulation being completely physically separate and distinct from the at least one product cavity; and(b) an insulated lid, the insulated lid being removably mounted on the insulated insert in such a way as to cover the top of the insulated insert. 2. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 1 wherein said at least one coolant cavity is oriented relative to said at least one product cavity so that said brim portion is positioned between said crown portion and said at least one product cavity. 3. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a coolant member, the coolant member being removably received within the coolant cavity and being adapted to fit within the crown portion of the coolant cavity, with the brim portion of the coolant cavity remaining empty. 4. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 3 wherein the coolant member occupies 50% of the volume of the coolant cavity. 5. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 1 wherein said at least one coolant cavity comprises a plurality of coolant cavities. 6. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 5 wherein said at least one product cavity consists of a single product cavity and wherein said plurality of coolant cavities are spaced around the product cavity. 7. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 1 wherein said crown portion is wider, shorter and shallower than said brim portion. 8. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 1 wherein said insulated insert and said insulated lid are appropriately dimensioned so that, when said insulated lid is mounted on said insulated insert, an air space is provided between said insulated lid and said recessed shelf of said insulated insert. 9. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a payload container removably disposed within said product cavity. 10. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 9 further comprising at least one coolant member removably disposed within said product cavity between the payload container and at least one side wall of the product cavity. 11. An insulated shipping container comprising: (a) an insulated insert, said insulated insert having an open top and defining a central product cavity and a plurality of coolant cavities surrounding said central product cavity, each of said coolant cavities, when viewed from above, having a top-hat shape comprising a crown portion and a brim portion, and each of said coolant cavities being completely physically separate and distinct from the central product cavity by an intermediate piece of insulation;(b) an insulated lid, the insulated lid being removably mounted on the insulated insert in such a way as to cover the open top of the insulated insert; and(c) a coolant member removably received in each of said coolant cavities, the coolant member being adapted to fit within the crown portion of the coolant cavity, with the brim portion of the coolant cavity remaining empty. 12. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 11 wherein each of said coolant cavities is oriented relative to said central product cavity so that said brim portion is positioned between said crown portion and said central product cavity. 13. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 11 wherein said crown portion is wider, shorter and shallower than said brim portion. 14. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 11 wherein each coolant member occupies 50% of the volume of its respective coolant cavity. 15. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 11 wherein said insulated insert is a unitary body. 16. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 15 wherein said unitary body is a substantially rectangular member shaped to include a bottom, four substantially equal sides and a top and wherein the central product cavity is a substantially rectangular prismatic cavity, said substantially rectangular prismatic cavity having corners substantially bisecting the four substantially equal sides. 17. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 16 wherein said top of said unitary body includes a raised peripheral edge and a recessed shelf, the central product cavity and the coolant cavities extending downwardly from the recessed shelf. 18. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 17 wherein said insulated insert and said insulated lid are appropriately dimensioned so that, when said insulated lid is mounted on said insulated insert, an air space is provided between said insulated lid and said recessed shelf of said insulated insert. 19. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a payload container removably disposed within said central product cavity. 20. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 19 further comprising at least one coolant member removably disposed within said central product cavity between the payload container and at least one side wall of the central product cavity. 21. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 11 wherein said insulated insert comprises an outer body and an inner body, the inner body being removably received within the outer body, each of the inner body and the outer body comprising an insulated member, the inner body and the outer body jointly defining the plurality of coolant cavities. 22. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 21 wherein the inner body is a unitary member shaped to include a generally rectangular prismatic cavity having an open top and bounded by a plurality of side walls and a bottom wall. 23. The insulated shipping container as claimed in claim 22 wherein the outer body is shaped to include a bottom, eight side walls and a top, the top of the outer body being shaped to include a raised peripheral lip surrounding a recessed shelf, with a multifaceted cavity extending downwardly from the recessed shelf, the inner body being removably received within the multifaceted cavity. 24. An insulated shipping container comprising: (a) an insulated insert, said insulated insert having an open top and defining a product cavity and a coolant cavity, the coolant cavity, when viewed from above, having a top-hat shape comprising a crown portion and a brim portion, the coolant cavity being completely physically separate and distinct from the product cavity by an intermediate piece of insulation; and(b) a coolant member removably received in the coolant cavity, the coolant member being adapted to fit within the crown portion of the coolant cavity, with the brim portion of the coolant cavity remaining empty.
