Questions, answered
Chilled & dairy
How do you ship dairy?
How do you ship dairy?
In the cold season (27 October 2026 to 31 March 2027), chilled dairy ships by UPS Ground with gel packs in a foil liner. We do not use dry ice. Your state sets your zone and the ship days.
Two cases ship by air instead: zone D, and soft items to zone C. Air means UPS 2nd Day Air or Next Day Air Saver. From 1 April to 30 September 2027, all zones ship by air.
We ship to the 48 contiguous states and Washington, DC. We do not ship chilled items to PO boxes or APO/FPO/DPO addresses. We do not ship frozen items.
Which days do you ship chilled orders?
Which days do you ship chilled orders?
Ship days depend on your zone. Zones A and D ship Monday to Wednesday. Zones B and C ship Monday and Tuesday. We never ship chilled orders on Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
Orders placed by 12:00 PM ET on a ship day for your zone ship the same day. Later orders ship the next ship day for your zone. Transit times are carrier estimates. We do not guarantee a delivery date.

Which states do you ship dairy to?
We ship chilled items to the 48 contiguous states and Washington, DC. Zone A has 1-day transit: NY, NJ, CT, PA, DE, MA and RI. Zone B has 2-day transit: MD, DC, VA, OH, NH, VT, ME, NC and MI.
Zone C has 3-day transit: WV, KY, TN, SC, GA, IN, IL, WI, IA, AL, MO and MN. Zone D is every other state of the contiguous 48.
If your cart has a chilled item and your address is outside this area, you cannot check out. Remove the chilled item to ship the other items to that address. Shelf-stable items ship to the 48 contiguous US states and Washington, DC. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US territories or APO/FPO/DPO addresses.

Soft items are yogurt, ayran, labneh, cream and fresh soft cheese. They ship by ground to zones A and B. They do not ship by ground to zone C.

Ground takes an estimated 3 days to zone C. In zone C, soft items ship by UPS 2nd Day Air or Next Day Air Saver. Zone D also ships by air. Shipping is calculated at checkout.
In zone C, you have three options. Remove the soft items from your cart. Order the soft items by air. Or order hard or semi-hard cheese and butter, which ship by ground.
