We work with a third-party fulfillment company for our shipments, and do not have the capability for orders to be collected directly from our warehouse.

The purpose of our shipping insurance is to provide insurance against loss, damage or delay to your order. We ship with UPS and most weeks a number of orders are subject to loss, damage or delay and arrive in sub-optimal condition. This is the nature of shipping perishable meats across the USA, with most packages travelling significant distances in often warm temperatures.
We offer shipping insurance so that when shipments go awry (which a small % do every week) we can respond immediately with a complimentary replacement box for impacted customers.
If something happens and you don’t have insurance, note that we do not file claims with UPS. It is time-consuming for you or us to file a claim. can take weeks or months for a resolution, and in our experience UPS rarely issues any compensation. If your package has been delayed, lost or damaged, we will not file a claim with UPS. By not taking insurance coverage on your order you will be liable in the event that your perishable meats are lost in transit or arrive damaged or delayed.
The shipping insurance is optional. If you do not want to pay for insurance please deselect it at checkout using the “toggle” box provided. If you have already ordered and your order hasn’t shipped, let us know if would like the shipping insurance charges refunded.
We have a minimum order requirement of $50 due to the perishable nature of our products. Because our products are perishable, it is essential that we ship them safely using our best-in-class thermal packaging, comprising a biodegradable eco-cooler, dry-ice and ice packs (a $25 value).
We don’t cut corners or take shortcuts when it comes to safely shipping our perishable meats across the USA. Our minimum order requirement enables us to provide a best-in-class solution for our thermal packaging, and helps ensure that you receive an impressively packaged order in great condition.
Yes, this is done as our standard practice. When the order is placed, the customer receives an Order Confirmation with order details and pricing information. When the order ships, we include a Packing Slip in the shipping box which lists the items ordered, but does not contain any information on the item prices or order value.

If you would like to send your e-gift card directly to the recipient, please use their email address when placing your order.
To place an order for multiple gift cards, bear in mind these are-e-gift cards and they are issued to whichever email is used at the time of you order. For example, you could order 3 cards to be sent to one email address, or place 3 separate orders with each going to its own separate email address.
Unfortunately not. We only accept one shipping address per order. This is due to the high cost of shipping perishable meats across the country, and therefore each order needs to ship to a single address.

Our packaging is capable of withstanding several days in transit and our orders often arrive in excellent condition even after a UPS delay. We dispatch all orders in Styrofoam coolers using both dry ice and ice packs, and we ship all year round through both the hotter and colder seasons.
We pack in accordance with requisite transit times and prevalent temperatures. Our meat products are blast frozen immediately after production, they are stored frozen, and shipped from frozen to our customers.
Your shipment should arrive with the items frozen, partially thawed or even chilled. If some items have arrived thawed, per USDA guidance it is safe to refreeze them as long as they are at or below 40F. All items should be suitable for returning to the freezer upon arrival.
Your signature is not required at the time of delivery and your package will be delivered without a signature. However, our products are highly perishable, and we strongly recommend you are on hand to receive your goods.
Upon receipt of your order:
- Be careful with disposal of the dry ice, and do not touch any dry ice that may remain in your package with your bare hands or skin.
- When your shipment arrives, check that your products are chilled (ie. noticeably cold to the touch)
- All products should be placed immediately in your freezer (as should the ice packs, if you want to reuse them)

If you have any questions upon receipt of your order, please contact Customer Support citing your order number.
From time to time a package will be marked as "Delivered" but not yet received by you.
In this instance, UPS may have accidentally scanned your package as “Delivered”. Please check the UPS tracking information provided and see if there is a “Proof of Delivery” photo assigned to your shipment. If no photo is showing, please wait a few hours to see if UPS arrives with your package.
Alternatively, UPS may have accidentally delivered your package to a neighbour, or mis-delivered to the wrong address or wrong location. Immediately check around your property entrances, ask your neighbours, and take a look on your street to see if it can be located. In addition, please verify with other household members whether or not it was already received.
We understand that it can be very frustrating when an order hasn’t yet arrived, or if it has been delivered to the wrong address. Unfortunately, we can provide very limited assistance during this process while waiting for your order to turn up. We don’t have a ‘special’ phone number for UPS, or a way to contact the UPS delivery driver in your particular area.
The good news is we often see that packages are delivered back to the original address, either by UPS or by the neighbour or household that has received it.
If your package has still not been delivered within 24 – 48 hours of the original “Delivered” notification, please contact Customer Support. Rest assured that if your package fails to materialise we will take every step on our end to rectify the issue. If you selected Shipping Insurance for your order, this coverage includes a replacement shipment at $0 cost to you.

Please do not consume or refreeze any products that arrive warm, or are leaking, spoiled, etc.
If you have any questions upon receipt of your order, please contact Customer Support.
