FAQ

Does my Food Stay Frozen?

Yes, we have a proven packing and shipping system that allows for two and a half days. Over 93% of our orders arrive overnight. If something goes wrong with shipping delays, which is rare - the top meals may start to soften. These meals could go straight into your fridge for consumption if partly frozen.
