To your home

HLC Meats uses best practices to get our crafted cuts safely to your home. Our packaging includes dry ice and cooler boxes to ensure that your meat stays cool and fresh during transport. We ship all meat via 2-day air with UPS to minimize transport time. A business address is recommended for shipping perishable goods.

We encourage you to use our package tracking system to get the items from your doorstep to your home refrigerator; general guidelines suggest within 2 hours of receipt (1 hour when the temperature is above 90°F), but the dry ice and cooler boxes can greatly extend the time.

To track your order please enter your Order ID in the box below and press the "Track" button. This was given to you on your receipt and in the confirmation email you should have received.
