Due to the perishable nature of our products, we ship Monday through Wednesday (except national holidays) so packages arrive before the weekend.

Please be advised that Kodiak can be impacted by events that can cause shipping delays that are out of our control.  We will monitor these events and ship your package on the next available date.

We use insulated shipping boxes for our shipments of frozen products.  We typically ship our boxes through FedEx, but we can ship through UPS or Alaska Air Cargo if preferred.  We recommend that all shipments through FedEx or UPS be shipped "next day air" so it arrives on your doorstep in 24-36 hours, but you can choose to have your product shipped "second day air" and have it arrive in 48-60 hours.  Boxes must be shipped to a physical address and cannot be shipped to PO boxes.

No.  Dry ice is not currently available anywhere on Kodiak Island.  However, we will package your shipment as tightly as we can and add ice packs if possible.

While most shipments arrive and are still completely frozen, it is not uncommon for some of the product to arrive partially thawed.  As long as the product is still cold, you can just put it in your freezer.
