EXPERIENCING A SHIPPING ISSUE?
White Stone Oyster Company ships temperature-sensitive products via UPS Ground, 2-Day Air, and Next-Day Air, and while UPS is usually able to adhere to delivery windows sometimes things happen! A few things to note:
- Unfortunately (even as the shipper) we do not have access to any more information than that which is provided by the carrier.
- If your package is late, but the gel packs are still at least partially frozen your oysters are safe to consume.
