Besides meats, Paidom offers shipping services to assist you in getting these tasty and wholesome meats to your table, as well as to your neighbors and friends. . . and to your enemies if you wish to extend the proverbial olive branch.
While we would love to have you drop by and set foot on our fine land, we will deliver our meats for a nominal handling fee ($10/box) within the Amarillo-Lubbock radius. But we will waive that fee if you order on our scheduled monthly deliveries. On that same page, you'll find our other delivery routes that can save you over half of the freight cost compared to shipping via courier.
For those of you who are farther away, we offer FedEx/UPS shipping right to your door. Our meats are shipped in thick-walled, styrofoam coolers and topped with dry ice to insure that they arrive frozen. The coolers are re-useable, depending on how the courier has treated them. We use ground transportation when possible because it is less expensive, but if you wish to have your order arrive sooner, we'll be glad to use air freight. Otherwise, air freight is used only when the shipping distance is beyond 4-day ground transportation (this only occurs on shipments outside the continental U.S.).
IMPORTANT CAVEAT: We used to ship at the recipient risk, that is, if the package were damaged/destroyed by the courier, the recipient would still be responsible for payment since the couriers won't pay claims on perishable items. We now provide insurance on each cooler that covers any damages. The recipient only has to pay for goods that arrive intact. This insurance costs $10/cooler and is mandatory in case of damage.
We ship on Mondays, and we will ship almost anywhere. Orders received by Friday will usually be shipped on the following Monday. Below is a list of states and the corresponding costs of packaging (dry ice, cooler, box, etc.) and shipping (ground freight) per box (50-55 lbs of meat). Contact us for information on destinations which are not listed below or for other shipping alternatives. If you'd prefer to use your own account with UPS, FedEx, or another freight company, just let us know the account number for billing. You'll only pay $25-30/box for the cost of packaging plus any insurance.
Our cooler and dry ice costs are relatively stable, but as you know, freight carriers periodically adjust their rates. Consequently, the figures that follow are subject to change at any time, but they tend to change only annually. Keep in mind that couriers have significantly increased their rates due to ever-increasing fuel costs. We don't make anything on freight; we simply pass through the approximate charges to our customers.
