In the summer months (June-September) we require customers that purchase a perishable product that live outside of the Tri-State area / Northeast Corridor to pay for expedite UPS shipping (2-Day or Next Day.) Because your perishable product cannot be safely shipped in the summer heat via UPS ground, this is the safest option to ensure your product arrives without any damage and can be enjoyed to the fullest. We understand this can be more of a costly inconvenience for some. If that's the case, we encourage you to explore our variety of non-perishable items that can all be shipped via UPS ground to your location.
