Do I have to be home to accept my delivery?
You do not have to be home to accept your delivery. The dry ice will keep your package cold and frozen up to 48 hours from time of packing. If you live in a house, your package will be left at the door. If your shipping address has a controlled entrance, please provide a buzzer code for entry, and/or inform your concierge of the delivery. If for whatever reason, the driver can't gain access to complete the delivery, you will receive a notice and the driver will re-attempt delivery the following day and/or the package will be held for pick-up should you choose to pick it up that evening.

If your shipping address has a controlled entrance, please provide a buzzer code for entry, and/or inform your concierge of the delivery.

How do I properly dispose of the dry ice?
Despite how interesting dry ice can be, please always be sure to handle it with care. Usually the dry ice will have dissipated by the time you receive your package, but if there is any remaining, simply remove it by carefully picking up the baggie at the top, and place the remaining dry ice outside to dissipate. The contents of your box will be quite cold due to proximity – we recommend using an oven mitt or a glove to unpack your box.
My order has been placed, can I make a change?
Once your order has been placed, no changes, re-routes, or returns can be made.
