Product information
Orders are usually packed and picked up by the shipping carrier the day after the order is placed.
--
Beef Orders: Orders placed on Thursday after 10am MT or over the weekend will ship the following Monday β because beef shouldnβt be stuck waiting in a distribution center on the weekend.
To meet our high safety standards, we only ship to the 48 contiguous states.
Your order comes in a box packed with cool-gel ice packs and insulating materials to keep it frozen. We ship to you very quickly to ensure your meat arrives cool to the touch (under 40 degrees Fahrenheit).
We donβt accept returns, because the Post Office would hunt us down if you shipped raw meat without the proper precautions.
We canβt guarantee any changes or cancelations after your order has been processed. We move fast to get you fresh, frozen beef, so your order may already be on its way to you!

Cooking Instructions
Cattle Lineage
"Fullblood" vs "american"
Fullblood Wagyu means the cattle have traceable and verified Japanese Wagyu genes all the way down to their toes. American Wagyu is a crossbreed of Wagyu and other types of cattle. We only sell 100% Japanese-lineage Wagyu.
But like what you like. Some folks prefer rich, buttery fullblood Wagyu and some prefer the meatier taste of dry-aged beef.
No Doubt. Just Beef.

How long does it take to thaw? How long does it last after itβs been thawed?
Itβs simple stuff. The bigger the item, the longer it takes to thaw. Most items thaw within 24 hours, but big olβ roasts and briskets can take longer. The USDA recommends that you keep thawed beef in the fridge between 3 to 5 days.
Give yourself enough time to fully that your meat in the fridge AND enough time to let it come to room temperature before cooking. This allows it to cook more evenly and generally improves results.Β Β
A little discoloration is normal, with parts of the meat that are slightly darker. However, if your beef seems βoffβ β aka slimy, sticky, stinky (think ammonia or sulfur), or a strange color β thatβs a bad sign. Contact us so we can make it right!
Can I change or cancel my order?
We do our best to be flexible, but we canβt guarantee any changes or cancelations after your order has been processed. We move fast to get you fresh, frozen beef, so your order may already be on itβs way to you!
