Shipping & Delivery: How It Works
We know shipping meat can feel stressful — but this is one thing we take very seriously around here.
Here’s exactly how we get COWabunga beef and pork to you fast, frozen, and in perfect condition.
How much does shipping cost?
We keep it simple:
Orders under $299: Flat-rate shipping is $45
Orders $299+: FREE shipping
Bulk Orders & Bundles: Shipping is always included — no surprise fees
Subscriptions: Shipping is already built in
Minimum order value is $49 to help us cover the cost of safe, cold-chain delivery.
How do you ship frozen meat safely?
Every order is packed by hand in insulated boxes with plenty of dry ice to keep your meat frozen solid in transit — even during warmer months.
We use overnight express shipping with UPS for fast, reliable delivery, and every box is carefully labeled and tracked.
When will my order ship?
We now offer nationwide overnight express shipping on all orders placed:
Monday through Thursday before 10:00 AM (MST)
Orders placed before the deadline on these days will ship the same day and arrive the next business day (if all items of the order are in stock).
Orders placed:
-
After 10:00 AM Thursday
-
Friday through Sunday
Will ship the following Monday to avoid weekend delays, assuming all items are in stock.
This helps ensure your meat never sits in a warehouse over the weekend.
*During holidays and busier times, please allow an extra day or two for shipment.
How long will delivery take?
Once shipped, your order will arrive the next business day via overnight express.
You’ll receive tracking information as soon as your box is on the way.
Will my order arrive frozen?
Yes — absolutely.
Every shipment includes enough dry ice to keep your meat frozen upon arrival. We ship across the lower 48 states and take every precaution to protect the cold chain from our door to yours.
Can I pick a delivery date?
At this time, we can’t guarantee specific delivery dates, but ordering before 10 AM Monday–Thursday ensures next-day delivery.
If you’re ordering for a special occasion, feel free to email us and we’ll do our best to help.

We stand behind every order and will always make it right.
That’s the COWabunga promise.
