ChopLocal Meat Delivery from Local Farms and Butcher Shops
How much does it cost to ship my meat order?
ChopLocal works hard to keep shipping costs as low as possible for farmers, butchers and meateaters. In order to do this, we have two rate areas for each seller, allowing you to purchase and receive meat from sellers closer to you at a discount.
- Preferred Rate Area
- Extended Rate Area
To see a seller's preferred and extended rate areas, check the shipping tab under their products.
Preferred Rate Area
Within a farmer/butcher's preferred rate area:
- Orders under $49.99 = $24.99 shipping
- Orders over $49.99 = FREE shipping
Extended Rate Area
Orders delivered to a farmer/butcher's extended rate area are assessed an additional $25 fee.
- Orders under $49.99 = $49.99 shipping
- Orders over $49.99 = $24.99 shipping
Because ChopLocal sellers ship directly from their farm or butcher shop, these rates apply to orders from a single farmer/butcher.
When will my meats ship?
ChopLocal farmers and butchers ship orders on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday unless otherwise noted. This is to avoid weekend delays and ensure that you receive your order in good condition.
Can I order meat as a gift?
Yes! Enter the recipient's address in "Shipping Address" and we'll send meat right to their door!
How is my order kept cold?
Each of ChopLocal's farmers and butchers ship directly from their farm or butcher shop, using insulated shipping containers and coolant to ensure your meat arrives in good condition.
Different sellers use different insulation and cooling products, so if you have questions about the specific products used, please contact the seller directly.
What should I do if there's an issue?
If you do not receive your order in a timely manner or the meat has thawed, please contact the seller within 24 hours of delivery. Check out our refund policy for more information.
