For large orders we recommend you make separate orders with one containing perishable items, and another containing non-perishable items.

Cost

To determine shipping costs we have worked with UPS to offer very reasonable shipping options especially for our overnight delivery option. The factors that impact the cost are the weight of the package and the shipping address zip code. A fee is also applied to the shipping cost by us to cover for the packaging material.

Time Frame

For perishable products, we avoid shipping later in the week to avoid transit delays the occur over the weekend that could lead to spoilage. For products that require 3 days shipping and delivery time, we will ship these orders Monday-Tuesday. For products that require 2 days shipping and delivery time, we will ship these orders Monday-Wednesday. For products that require overnight shipping, we will ship these orders Monday-Thursday.

It is critical that you, the customer, enter the correct delivery address in order to completely fulfill your order at your satisfaction. If the incorrect address is inputted and delivery is sent, we are not held responsible if the order gets lost, stolen, or spoils. 

Disclaimer

If you purchase and choose to ship ANY perishable products from us, it is important that someone is present when deliveries are made to eliminate the risk of spoilage. If you do not think someone will be present when delivery is made, select a different time frame for the shipment to be made at the time of purchase. We want to insure our product arrives to you, the customer, at the highest of quality. Therefore we hold the right to make any necessary adjustments to shipping dates if we believe the shipping and delivery method that was chosen will result in spoilage.
