How can I reduce my shipping charges?
All products on our site are divided in 3 categories: Perishables, Semi Perishables
and Non-perishables. The shipments with Perishable products are required to maintain
the lowest possible temperature without freezing and can only sustain short transit
times. Therefore it can only be shipped with delivery on the following day. We utilize
either Overnight Express service or Ground service depending on your location. Overnight
Express service is a costly proposition, but it is the only solution to transport
the products you had chosen. Therefore we suggest for you to order more items in
order to lower cost per pound.
Semi Perishable products can sustain longer transit times due to the advanced refrigerator
technology and can be delivered via 2nd. Day service. It is the only safe way to
transport products, which are required to maintain cold temperatures in order to
avoid spoilage.
There is no transit limitation for Non-perishable products. FedEx offers competitive,
fast delivery on all our Non-perishable products. By adding more products to the
same shipment, you will significantly minimize cost per pound. Our customer service
professionals continuously monitor every incoming order and will do their best to
assist you in every way possible.
We strongly encourage you to contact us via phone or email us with any questions
or suggestions you might have. We guarantee that your wishes will be heard and your
desires will be satisfied.
