Shipping & Returns

 

Continental U.S.  Shipping

Standard 2-3 Day Delivery:

Your package will normally be shipped by USPS priority to arrive within  2-3 days.  We are unable to guarantee delivery on Saturdays with this specific method.  We do not require a signature at delivery.  Please alert the recipient that a perishable gift is being delivered, everyone is sad when a package sits at the post office or mailbox for days.

Alaska and Hawaii orders please contact for custom quote.

 

We ship perishable bacon, sausage, and ham products every Monday-Wednesday. Orders made Thursday through Sunday will be held until the following Monday to be shipped. This allows packages to be on the move everyday in transit. This avoids the packages sitting in hot warehouses or trucks during the weekends. If your package can ship on a Wednesday and arrive before the weekend, it will ship; if not it will be held until the following Monday.  

 

 

Canada Shipping- Cannot order through website; Must contact Baconfreak

 

for Custom INTERNATIONAL order:

 

  • Your package will be shipped by DHL Express to arrive within 2-3 business days depending upon your location in Canada. 
  • Please alert the recipient that a perishable gift is being delivered.

 

 

Please contact us for special shipping requirements and we will quote the shipping charge.  Normally expedited shipping is several times the standard cost.

 

 

Bacon Freak can no longer ship to APO, DPO and FPO customers.   Since all of our bacon requires refrigeration and the transit time to these locations makes it impossible to keep the product chilled.

 Our sausages all require refrigeration and are not shipped beyond the continental US. When the items arrive, we suggest you refrigerate or freeze if you will not eat within two weeks. All products are USDA inspected and meet all USDA shipping requirements for safety.  Please do NOT send Pork products to a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan. Packages are scanned and these items WILL be confiscated.

Tracking Packages:

When your order has been sent you will receive an email confirming that it has been shipped and will include a UPS or USPS tracking number.

      • We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged packages during transit.  If there is information from your local post office to show that the package was delivered and you say that you did not receive the package, you will need to contact the appropriate shipping carrier yourself to initiate a claim for the lost package. 


Backordered Items:

In the event that we oversell or are short an item, these items may be backordered, and we will contact you immediately. We will give you the choice to ship out your order when the order is completely filled; cancel the backordered item, or send you the backordered item when it comes in. If your order includes available items and you would like those items to be sent immediately; please note this in your order.

The Return Policy:

Exchanges and Store credits can only be given for non perishable items within 14 days of the purchase date. There are NO exchanges on perishable items.  Simply mail the products you would like to return back to us (with a note of reason for return enclosed) at our address listed at the bottom of this page. We'll refund your money via charge or check, depending upon how you paid for your order. Non perishable item returns can be sent for exchange, store credit or refund depending upon your preference. We regret that we are unable to refund your original shipping charges unless the return was a result of our error. You are also responsible for the shipping fee for the returning product.

Return Conditions

      • For any discrepancy, please report it to us within 48 hours of receipt of product. Otherwise, we will assume that there is no problem with the order. Examples of discrepancy include wrong item, wrong quantity, and/or the package received does not match the order you placed.
      • For any return, please email contact@baconfreak.com or call (805) 517-0141.
      • Please make sure the item is in its original resalable condition. 
      • For all U.S. domestic online or phone orders; item must be returned within 14 calendar days from the date we shipped it out. 

 

The Return, Refund, and Exchange Process:

      • Approved refunds and exchanges (depending upon available stock) will process within 1 week upon receipt of the returned package, if not sooner.
      • For all exchanges, you must return the item to us before your new item can be shipped out to you. If you do not want to wait that long for the new item, you can purchase the desired item you want to exchange, and we will refund the old item once we have received it.
      • For approved refunds, resulting from our error, cost of the item will be refunded.
      • For all other approved refunds, only cost of the item will be refunded. Shipping costs (both ways) will not be refunded.
      • All approved exchanges will be reshipped for a small fee. Customer will pay for the return shipping and any incurred cost of exchanging (ex. difference of item cost). If you have received an ordered clothing item and would like a different size, you must reship the clothing item back to us before the new desired size can be shipped out to you. You are responsible for both shipping fees. (Cost of return shipping and cost of shipment for the new item.) The new, desired items' shipping cost will be a $5.00 fee per t-shirt and/or apron; and a $10.00 fee per sweatshirt. You can make note in your reshipped order if you would like this charge applied to the credit card you used for the original transaction; or you can call us to use a different one.
      • Clothing items that are returned for an exchange in size must be in perfect condition. If you would like a refund or exchange of a clothing item that was damaged during transit you must file a claim with us within 48 hours after arrival, take a picture, and e-mail it to us immediately so we can begin the approval process. Damaged clothing items will not be exchanged or refunded if no file has been claimed and then approved of.
      • A return label will only be issued when exchange reason was due to our error.
      • If an item is returned as a result of an incorrect address provided by you, we can reship the product to the correct address at an additional cost to you. (Note there is also a $14.00 fee charged by the carrier.) Returned perishable items are not able to be repackaged and shipped; therefore you will be responsible for the cost of the new product and the new shipping charge.

Delivery tracking information is provided on all packages.

Substitutions:

      • Because of the popularity of our products at times we may need to substitute items in certain gift bundles. We also make changes to our inventory based upon discovery of new and unique items, product availability, and seasonal difference. Therefore, substitutions may be made, but quality will never be compromised.
      • BaconFreak.com reserves the right to substitute products.

 

All Cancellation Policies:

 

Cancellation on Orders:
      • We take pride in our customer service at Baconfreak.com and this includes not only the quality of our products, but also the speed of our service and shipping. Keeping this in mind, we require that any cancellation be made by 1 pm PST the same day as you place your order.* However, the majority of our orders ship on the same day they were placed. Otherwise, you will be subject to a non-refundable handling fee and service charge equal to 15% of the total order.

*Once a tracking number has been generated on your order, you cannot cancel the order without paying the 15% service charge.

      • The 1 pm PST cancellation does not apply to orders when same day shipping has been requested, or the order has already been approved and shipped. In the case of a same day shipping request, all orders must be canceled within 3 hours of order confirmation or be subject to the same restrictions outlined above. 


Once an item has been shipped, it can not be changed or refunded.
