This is a semi-perishable product. No refrigeration is required during shipment, but it must be refrigerated after arrival.
Shipping & Delivery Information
Shipping charges are additional to merchandise prices. We ship via UPS, which requires a street address for delivery. For this reason, we cannot ship to P.O. Boxes. Also, we do not accept C.O.D. orders. All products shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico must ship by Second Day Air.
How are shipping charges determined?
We calculate actual UPS shipping charges based on the shipping method, the weight of the product, and the zip code the product is shipping to. If you purchase several products to ship to the same address, the total shipping charge will likely be different than the estimated charges for each individual item, because the items can be combined into a single shipping container.
What shipping methods are available?
Standard Ground shipping is the least expensive. See the UPS transit days map below to estimate the number of delivery days required. Expedited Shipping (Next Day Air and Second Day Air) is an option for any product if you need a guaranteed delivery date. You will be able to choose your preferred delivery date during the Checkout Process and see the estimated shipping charges and transit times for each Shipping Method.
