I'd shrink wrap them while frozen. I'd be nervous about thawing and re-freezing the meat like that. Those innards aren't going to hurt a thing in the freezer, just leave them for now and pull them out when you thaw to cook.

You're expectations were too high. Loose bags and zip ties are the standad packageing in most small time poultry processors.
Out of curiosity, what does it normally cost to have a small-time processor process a bird?
I also agree. I proces my own birds and I do not shrink wrap I double bag them and either twist tie or zip tie. I still have a few birds in the freezer that were processed roughly 10 months ago and no freezer burn on any. I also just last week decided to try out the professional processor down the street from me (just to try them out and have a back up processor) they did 3 of my roosters and they cleaned the birds well and also loose bag and ziptie them. I have no prolem with that. Oh and I was charged $5 per bird, high price in my eyes. We will continue to do our own and use them only on occasion when needed.You're expectations were too high.
