[@judithekhagbai2543]

Bought empty container, so when I poured the oil in it, the cap was sealed, placed in the freezer a day to when I was traveling, and then packed in the ziplock bag. To ensure that there would be no spill. By the time I got here, was even tired to take out the things, but everything was intact.
