How do I edit my address book?

If you’re not already, you’ll first need to login to the site by clicking the “Sign In” link at the top of our website. Enter your email address and password to sign in.

When you’re logged in, you’ll see your My Account overview page that displays Recent Purchases and your settings, including your primary delivery address (located in the Shipping column).

If you have questions about scheduling a future delivery, please contact us.

When will out of stock products be available again?

We do our best to make sure that our website always reflects the most current stock and availability. Please contact us if there’s a specific item you’re interested in that’s currently listed as out of stock and we’ll do our best to tell you when it will become available.

How are frozen items packaged?

Depending on the item, frozen items will be packed with either dry ice or frozen gel packs to keep them cold during shipment. They may arrive in a Styrofoam cooler or wrapped in silver thermal wrapping.

Please use caution when handling any remaining dry ice. For more information about our packaging, see our Shipping and Delivery page.

How are fresh items packaged?

Fresh items are typically shipped with gel ice packs inside of a Styrofoam cooler which is packed into a standard shipping box.

Please note that packaging can vary.

How do I defrost frozen products?

We recommend keeping items in their original vacuum-sealed bags and placing in your refrigerator to thaw. Please note that larger cuts can take 3-4 days to fully thaw, so plan accordingly.

If you’re in a hurry, you can also thaw items (still wrapping in their original packaging) in your sink under cool running water.
