The Chop Box

Last day to place an order for Christmas delivery is Tuesday 12/20. We encourage ordering early when possible. Many of our products ship frozen and can safely be stored in the freezer until you are ready to thaw for the big day. Shipping delays can of course happen, especially in the busy holiday season, so why take the chance.

Where do you ship and how much does it cost?

For Northeast deliveries shipping is $14.99 and FREE on orders over $125.

For deliveries outside of the Northeast shipping ranges from $29.99-39.99 based on the order size.

When will you get your delivery?

You order is carefully packed with a thick 1.5" insulation and dry ice. Most orders are delivered in 1 day transit, however, we package them to last up to 72 hours in most conditions*. 

The box and insulation are fully curbside recyclable..

*Items may partially thaw in shipment but should arrive cold—below 40°F as measured with a food thermometer—if not solid frozen. As per the USDA Freezing and Food Safety Guidelines — meats that are refrigerator cold, partly frozen (solid), or frozen can be placed into the freezer for later use.

BEST WAY (Recommended) 

Our recommendation is to thaw in the refrigerator prior to cooking. Meat, poultry, and seafood can be thawed in their packaging. It should take no longer than a day to fully thaw one pound of meat; larger cuts of meat will take longer. Most seafood can defrost in as little as 12 hours. 
  

FAST WAY 

Need to quick thaw — vacuum sealed products should be placed in cold water for 30 to 60 minutes. We suggest using a waterproof package or bag to keep water out. In cold tap water submerge the sealed bag, changing the water every 30 minutes as it continues to thaw. Smaller packages of seafood/meat will typically thaw in an hour or less. Larger pieces can take several hours.
