Frozen and refrigerated products: orders received by 12:00 PM CST will ship the same day if the package can be delivered before the weekend. For example, an order placed on a Wednesday that requires 3 days to reach its recipient will ship the NEXT MONDAY. We will never ship frozen and refrigerated products over a weekend.
