Orders that Include Refrigerated Products

We do all we can to help ensure that you receive your cold-ship items in great condition. Here’s how:

We ship temperature-sensitive items in special cold-pack boxes.
This helps your products that require refrigeration retain their integrity.
We ship refrigerated products so that you get them within 48 hours.
You don’t want your product to spoil—and neither do we. So we expedite shipping so that your order gets to you fast, and your items preserve their integrity.
We ship refrigerated product orders on business days.
Plus, we make sure to ship them only on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. That way you’re more likely to be home to receive your shipment, and are free to enjoy your weekends & holidays. For your convenience, any order that includes a refrigerated product, and is placed on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or close to a holiday, is shipped on the next business day.
We ship refrigerated products only within the continental U.S.
We only ship products to places we’re comfortable that they’ll arrive in excellent condition. For refrigerated shipments, that means continental U.S. only.
We send cold-ship items to actual street addresses—not P.O. Boxes.
Shipping your refrigerated order directly to where you live makes it more likely that you’ll receive your product on the day it arrives, rather than it sitting unattended for longer than it should. This helps preserve the quality of your purchase so that you can reap the intended health benefits. (For the same reason, we also don’t send orders containing refrigerated items to APO/FPO & DPO addresses.)
We keep you informed.
We will send you a shipment confirmation email once we have passed your order on to UPS. From there, you can track your order online at www.ups.com.

Fine Print

Here are just a few more little details that we want you to know:

General

Shipping rates are per order, not per package.
All UPS Second Day orders placed prior to 5pm Eastern time will be delivered within two business days.
Once you place an order that includes a cold-ship item, we auto-select the lower cost Second-Day shipment method (just $11.99 per order).
If we are unable to verify your credit card, that may delay shipping.

Returns & Refunds

Since cold-ship products must remain refrigerated at all times, no returns or refunds will be issued after the product has shipped unless the product is damaged or defective.

Back Orders

Once they become available, any back-ordered items that require refrigeration will be shipped to you separately via Second Day delivery. The $11.99 Second Day shipping fee will apply.

Split Shipments

Orders that include both refrigerated and non-refrigerated products are usually sent to you in two separate Second Day shipments (don’t worry…you’ll only be charged for one). This way your non-refrigerated products will ship as soon as possible and your refrigerated products will be shipped to you in the way and at the time that best preserves their quality and integrity.

For split shipments, you may see two credit card authorizations instead of one. Please rest assured that this is normal, and you are not being double-billed.
