Order arrived! I am SOOOOOO excited.
Their shipping rules are:
We do not ship west of the Mississippi River other than 2nd-Day Air/3-Day Select (unless you state in the Customer Comment Section of the check-out process that you understand that moderate to thorough thawing will occur and you are still willing to have the order shipped by FedEx Ground).
We do not ship to UT, NV, WA, OR or CA by any method other than 3-Day Select OR 2nd Day Air.
I "signed," so I could pay for Fed Ex Ground shipping. MUCH cheaper than the other options.
I was a bit nervous. I have had no issues with Hare Today meats or Rad Cat. But...their "warning" made me nervous. Is their packaging that much different, that it COULD be a risk?
I emailed them a bazillion questions, and then took the "risk."
Product arrived frozen SOLID! However...
I ordered to fill a container. The fuller a box, the slower to thaw.
They wrap each container individually.
All product is "wrapped" again (all together) inside a heavy duty plastic bag.
Packing peanuts were also included.
They do add dry ice, but it completely gone.
Each shipping box is lined with styrofoam...sides, top, and bottom.
Attached is the travel time for anyone west of the Mississippi, that may have reservations about ordering. Keep in mind that product was exposed to VERY warm weather conditions and a non-air conditioned FedEx truck for long periods of time.
I can't imagine the cats or dog not liking it. I am THRILLED to be able to add another source of raw to our rotation.
