refrain from processing orders based on severe weather in the transit process.
Customers are notified immediately via phone and/or email of the slight delay.
Usually occurring in winter weather, typical delays are 1-2 business days. HOW DOES MY MEAT
ARRIVE? Your products should
be frozen, partially frozen, or cool to the touch when you open the package.
Partially thawed products can be re-frozen. WE STRIVE TO HAVE YOUR PRODUCT
ARRIVE FROZEN, BUT THERE ARE INSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL IN TRANSIT THAT MAY
PREVENT THIS. We ship all orders in
our custom insulated containers with biodegradable cotton or corn-based liners and dry
ice. Packages may contain
partially dissipated dry ice and/or gel packs.
This is common in the shipping process.
Avoid touching any remaining dry ice with bare skin. You may leave dry ice inside the cooler to
evaporate or use gloves to remove and dispose of the ice in a well ventilated
outdoor location, safely away from children and pets. |
