	Rube's Steaks Shipping Information How do we ship Rube’s Steaks FRESH? Not only does “fresh” sound better than “frozen," we think it IS better. When steaks are frozen, ice crystals form and may affect the taste, juiciness and texture. 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, fresh, full of flavor and ready to be cooked to perfection. Therefore, we ship most of our steaks fresh, not frozen. Occasionally we might become overstocked on a certain product, which we clearly sell as frozen and offer at a considerable discount. Nonetheless, we start with the best product possible and deliver consistent, amazing flavor. Here's how we do it: Once you place your order, your steaks are hand-selected. We then place your fresh 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 — fresh to your front door. We do not use dry ice, so your products will not arrive frozen! (Some products such as ground beef, pork chops, minute steaks and sandwich steaks are shipped frozen, but may arrive partially thawed.) We guarantee the product to arrive cold and fresh. 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. SHIPPING CHARGES For better savings for you, we are very pleased to offer our NEW FLAT RATE SHIPPING!
