	It is very unlikely your perishables will survive if shipped using standard service in these temperatures, and we don't recommend it! You can choose to take that risk by selecting Standard shipping during checkout (the default option), but we won't be able to replace or refund any items if they arrive damaged. If you are ordering a bunch of heavier supplies <em>and</em> perishables, it's often cheaper to place two separate orders so that the supplies can cheaply ship ground while the smaller perishable box ships express. Sorry, but we do not offer "hold for safe window" service when standard shipping is selected in temperatures this extreme.
	</p>
	</p1>
	<p1 class="green strong">Express Shipping</p1>
	<p1>
	<p>
	Please select express shipping during checkout, to give your perishables the best chance of survival. We aren't able to offer our guarantee when temperatures are <span class="perish_temp_graphic_extremecold">below 20<sup>°</sup>F</span><span class="perish_temp_graphic_extremeheat">above 95<sup>°</sup>F</span>, so our team will hold your order in anticipation of the soonest safe shipping window. If your order is held, we'll email you ASAP to work out a safer shipping schedule & discuss your options. Depending on your input, we'll either ship now (if you don't mind the risk), or hold/reserve for the next available safe (guaranteed) temperature window. We check the weather every morning when we open up, so we'll be sure to ship your order as soon as we safely can. Express-shipped orders which need to be held due to weather have their products reserved <em>and</em> hold their place in the outgoing order queue. (It's "first come, first served" once we're able to ship!) Only express-shipped orders qualify for our "hold for safe window" service when temperatures are this extreme.

	We process & ship orders as quickly as we can. While we do our best to ship supply orders the same or next business day, it's not always safe (or possible) for us to do the same with orders containing perishables. Perishable orders are always scheduled to avoid weekend transit delays to help ensure healthy arrival. Please keep this in mind if you are ordering a few days before a weekend, since your order will probably not ship until the following Monday.

Standard Shipping Not Recommended

It is very unlikely your perishables will survive if shipped using standard service in these temperatures, and we don't recommend it! You can choose to take that risk by selecting Standard shipping during checkout (the default option), but we won't be able to replace or refund any items if they arrive damaged. If you are ordering a bunch of heavier supplies and perishables, it's often cheaper to place two separate orders so that the supplies can cheaply ship ground while the smaller perishable box ships express. Sorry, but we do not offer "hold for safe window" service when standard shipping is selected in temperatures this extreme.

Express Shipping

Please select express shipping during checkout, to give your perishables the best chance of survival. We aren't able to offer our guarantee when temperatures are below 20^°Fabove 95^°F, so our team will hold your order in anticipation of the soonest safe shipping window. If your order is held, we'll email you ASAP to work out a safer shipping schedule & discuss your options. Depending on your input, we'll either ship now (if you don't mind the risk), or hold/reserve for the next available safe (guaranteed) temperature window. We check the weather every morning when we open up, so we'll be sure to ship your order as soon as we safely can. Express-shipped orders which need to be held due to weather have their products reserved and hold their place in the outgoing order queue. (It's "first come, first served" once we're able to ship!) Only express-shipped orders qualify for our "hold for safe window" service when temperatures are this extreme.

An Express shipping quote is available on the last page of checkout before finalizing payment.

&starf; Select Express Shipping To Qualify For Our Guarantee &starf;

Express Shipping: Guaranteed Live Arrival &check;
Standard Ground Shipping: No Guarantee &cross;
40-Hour Heat Pack(s): Included Free &check;
Non-Toxic Ice Pack(s): Included Free &check;

Please select express shipping during checkout if you'd like to qualify for our live arrival guarantee. Orders shipped using standard service in temperatures like these don't carry a live arrival guarantee, and we don't recommend it unless you feel comfortable taking that risk. If you are ordering a bunch of heavier supplies and perishables, it's often cheaper to place two separate orders so that the supplies can ship (inexpensive) ground while the perishables ship express.

&starf; Live Arrival Guaranteed For All Shipping Methods &starf;

Since temperatures are so mild right now, we're able to guarantee live arrival using whatever shipping method you choose. Pretty sweet, eh?

Local Alternative Option: Scheduled Order Pickup

You live within a 1-day ground transit zone, so standard shipping is an appropriate option to select during checkout. We aren't able to guarantee shipments when temperatures are below 20^°Fabove 95^°F, so our team will temporarily hold your order in hopes that a slightly safer temperature window will develop. In that event, we'll email you ASAP to work out a safer shipping schedule & discuss your options. Orders which need to be held due to weather have their products reserved and hold their place in the outgoing order queue. (It's "first come, first served" once we're able to ship!)If you don't mind the drive, you could also pick up your order and save on the shipping cost while mitigating all the associated risks. :-)

We recommend using inexpensive standard shipping! Since you live so close, you qualify for our best shipping guarantee at the lowest cost pretty much year-round. So long as temperatures stay between 20-85^°F, we guarantee all shipments will arrive to you in great shape regardless of shipping method. :-) Plus, you'll get everything you order pretty quickly since it only takes a day in transit!
