We ship our boudin and other great products via Fed Ex unless otherwise requested. For overnight delivery, orders should be placed Monday thru Thursday. For 2nd day delivery, orders should be placed Monday thru Wednesday. If possible, perishableorders are simply shipped using Fed Ex ground. Our shipping rates are determined by the total weight of your order and the postal zip code to where your order of boudin is being shipped. Unlike most companies who base their shipping charges on total dollar value, we use current Fed Ex shipping tables. The ordering process is very simple. There will be one charge on your credit card. It will include the shipping and handling. When we receive your order, the products and the cost of shipping will be charged. A $6.00 handling fee will be added to shipping costs for all non-perishable orders. A charge of $15.00 will be added to all perishable orders in a small or medium chest. A $20.00 fee will be added to the shipping price for orders going into a large or ex-large chest. This handling fee covers the cost of the ice chest, dry ice, and the packaging. If no one will be present to receive the order, Fed Ex will leave the package at your door. If our overnight courier fails to deliver your package in the United States on time and your perishables are spoiled, you will receive a refund for your order and the shipping charges incurred. All orders shipped out of the US are not guaranteed. If you have questions regarding our shipping methods or policy, please email us at chadbourque@bourquespecialties.com We'll get back with you within 24 hours. When ordering perishable foods such as boudin, your total order must be a minimum of 10 pounds. We use dry ice and a reusable insulated cooler - a packaging combination that will insure your products arrive in excellent condition.
