Choosing a Delivery Date
We offer several different methods of shipping, some of which depend on where you live. For most states, we recommend going with 2nd Day Air shipping; it is the most cost-efficient, and our specially designed boxes can go 3 full days without external refrigeration. If you are on the West Coast, we offer FedEx Ground shipping, as either a 1 or 2 day transit (depending on your location).
As we approach the holiday season, shipping carriers are facing significant delays. We recommend scheduling delivery at least one day before you plan to enjoy your order. Below is a quick chart of our suggested arrival dates for specific dinner dates. If you would prefer to avoid the overnight shipping cost for a Tuesday delivery, it’s absolutely possible to have your order arrive to you the Friday before. Larger cuts of meat will inherently have a longer shelf life – you will be absolutely fine if you keep product in your fridge from when you receive on a Friday to cooking the following Wednesday or Thursday.
| Dinner Date | Recommended Delivery Date |
| Thurs, Nov 28th | Friday, Nov 22nd |
| Tues, Dec 24th | Friday, Dec 20th |
| Wed, Dec 25th | Friday, Dec 20th |
| Tues, Dec 31st | Friday, Dec 27th |
| Wed, Jan 1st | Friday, Dec 27th |
Ground vs Express Shipping Methods
For our West Coast friends, we usually recommend shipping via Ground most of the year—it’s a solid, cost-effective option. But when December rolls around, shipping volume goes through the roof, and getting perishables delivered on time becomes a bit trickier. Sure, we specialize in aged beef, but we’d much rather keep it cozy in our dry aging rooms than risk having it sit in a shipping station longer than it should. It’s just a better fit for the beef—and for your peace of mind! For that reason we do not offer ground shipping between December 9th and January 3rd.
Shipping Costs
FedEx Ground
| Cart Total | FedEx Ground |
| $0 – $125 | $10 |
| $126+ | Free |
We offer FedEx Ground shipping to all locations that are within 2 transit days of our facility as our most cost-effective shipping method. We include ample frozen ice packs in our boxes to ensure the product gets to you in perfect condition. If the weather is particularly hot in your area, add a note in the comments section during checkout that’d you like us to add extra ice, and we’ll be happy to accommodate you.
During the summer months (or during particularly hot spells), items that are shipped frozen may experience some surface thaw during transit. You don’t have to worry about it, throw these in your freezer for later use, or they can be kept in the fridge for 3-4 days.
FedEx Express
| Cart Total | 2nd Day Air | Standard Overnight | Priority Overnight |
| $0 – $170 | $30 | $55 | $60 |
| $171 – $250 | $35 | $60 | $65 |
| $251 – $450 | $40 | $65 | $70 |
| $450 + | $45 | $70 | $75 |
FedEx 2nd Day Air
Our preferred shipping method is FedEx 2nd day, which will deliver a package in 2 business days. Less expensive than Standard Overnight, it also gives some wiggle room in the rare case that a package encounters problems en route.
FedEx Standard Overnight
Standard Overnight ensures that a box will spend 1 day in transit and will arrive at your location before 5 pm.
FedEx Priority Overnight
Priority Overnight ensures that a package arrives before 10:30 am (unless shipping to a rural address, in which case the package arrives before 4:30 pm).
Signature Options
Our baseline is to send all packages designated as “no signature required” — this allows the package to be delivered without you having to sit at home all day. If you prefer your order to go as ‘signature required,’ just drop us a note in the comments section during checkout, and we’ll make sure to accommodate.
