Due to the perishable nature of our products we ship on Mondays and Tuesdays for delivery the same week. Please select from the drop down menu the date you wish to ship. You can estimate your delivery with our Delivery Times map.
All prices on our web site include applicable taxes as well as shipping and handling for the 48 contiguous states. No additional charges are applied unless an unusual shipping arrangement or expediting charges apply for rushed shipments. 
Shipping days are generally Monday and Tuesdays so that our products do not sit in a warehouse over the weekend. You can choose which day you want each item to ship when you load it in your shopping cart. (Note, once in your shopping cart you can not change the date unless you delete the item and reorder it with a different date of your choosing.) We ship via UPS ground with delivery 1-3 days after shipping. Due to the perishable nature of our products, they are shipped frozen. All orders are shipped as "DRIVER RELEASE". This means the package will be delivered to the recipient address with no signature required. Packages can be left at any exterior door location. Please be sure to alert the recipient that a perishable gift will be delivered to them. For Delivery Times click here to see how many days after shipping your order will arrive. Upon receiving, remove it from the box and outside packaging material leaving it within the heavy-duty freezer bag and gold foil it arrives in. If you do not plan to serve it within 5 days, immediately put it in the freezer, keeping it again in the same foil and freezer wrap packaging. Otherwise put it in the refrigerator and enjoy in the next few days. Remember unless freezing your ham or turkey should be consumed within 7-10 days. For maximum freshness and flavor, your ham or turkey should be used within 45-60 days of freezing. Allow three days to thaw in the refrigerator before serving at room temperature.
Thanksgiving: Thanksgiving week is a shortened shipping week so plan ahead by checking the Delivery Times for the area you are shipping to. See if you might be better served shipping the week before Thanksgiving on November 14th to avoid Expediting Charges if they would apply. Remember you can easily freeze our Holiday Hams and Turkeys to be used at your convenience. (See our Serving tips/FAQs.)

If you choose to ship 2-Day Airfreight to insure a more timely delivery than our standard UPS ground delivery an additional $20 will be charged. This sometimes becomes mandatory if trying to ship the same week as Thanksgiving or sometimes Christmas so plan ahead.

Holiday hams and turkeys are all shipped frozen wrapped in a heavy gold foil and placed in a heavy-duty freezer bag, for your convenience. Upon receipt, this is what would be placed in the refrigerator or freezer depending on when you are serving it. For shipping, they are then wrapped in a padded insulation sleeve and placed in a Styrofoam cooler and then gift boxed. Instructions and serving tips are included in each package.
Your specific greeting up to 4 lines of 35 characters each will appear on the shipping label.
