Shipping & Returns
Shipping Fee

We ship via overnight or two-day shipping method due to the perishable nature of our products. Our shipping fee is quoted to you directly from our shipping carrier. We do not make a profit from the shipping fee.


The shipping fee is calculated by our shipping carrier based on the shipping method, weight, volume, and destination of the shipment. The shipping fee for your order can be estimated prior to checkout by adding items to the shopping bag and entering the zip code of the destination in the "Estimate Shipping & Tax" section.

Shipping Schedule

Available items ordered by 1 pm EST, Monday through Friday, can be shipped the same day. To ensure product freshness, we do not ship on Fridays unless Saturday delivery is selected. On Thursdays, we only ship via overnight shipping method to avoid products being held in a non-temperature-controlled shipping facility over the weekend.

Estimated Delivery

Please note that the estimated arrival date displayed during checkout is an estimate only and is not a guarantee. We recommend you allow extra days in transit when selecting a date to ship your package.  

We regret that we cannot offer refunds for shipments delayed due to circumstances beyond our control, such as disruptive weather, flight delays, mechanical issues, and other issues experienced by UPS. However, please be assured that we will always do everything possible to meet the estimated arrival date.
