Rube's Steaks Shipping Information

We source our meat locally in Iowa, with some from the Midwest, and take care to select Black Angus, grass-fed and corn-finished steaks that are graded by the USDA as Prime or Choice. Because these steaks are the highest quality, it is important to get them to you as soon as possible, full of flavor and ready to be cooked to perfection.

Here's how we do it:

  • Once you place your order, your steaks are hand-selected.
  • We then place your steaks in a specially-designed shipping package — an insulated cooler with cooling packs.
  • The package is tightly sealed and shipped via UPS to arrive within three business days — to your front door.
  • We do not use dry ice! (Many of our items are shipped frozen, but may arrive partially thawed.)
  • We guarantee the product to arrive cold or still partially frozen. Upon delivery, the recipient must transfer meat from cooler to the refrigerator or freezer. If you are sending steaks as a gift, make sure you let your recipient know to expect a package on their doorstep. Unfortunately, we cannot replace products that were not refrigerated the day of delivery.
