We are able to ship anywhere within the US and outside the USA and we encourage our international customers to inform themselves with special documentation or regulations for certain products that may be restricted or required a special permit in their countries before placing an order. For international orders quote please contact our Sales Team at Sales@venefood.com.

 

Our company gets informed by our common carriers on restricted goods, but each country is different and we are not able take responsibility for items held at customs or returned for being banned/restricted in that country.

 

All of our orders are shipped out of our Distribution Center located in Miami, FL, Zip Code 33186 therefore your packages will show this information on the sender portion.

 

In our site you will find different products category and most of them are sensitive to heat, to the way they are handled and most important to the time they will be during transit. Our orders are shipped in special insulated boxes/liners for perishable items, this is to maintain the freshness of the product by assuring they are being transported at a proper temperature during transit, which could take in most cases 2 to 3 days for US customers. Besides shipping in special boxes/liners, and depending on the item we are shipping, we also add refrigerated foams or gel packs to maintain goods in perfect conditions. Your satisfaction is our number one priority.

 

When ordering Perishable items, such as our Cheeses, we add an extra charge of $5.00 to each order to cover the special packaging of this product, and is the only way we guarantee the products condition until the time it arrives to destination, while product is shipped within the USA. For overseas/wholesale customers ordering this product we would need to calculate this cost after a shipping address is provided in order to determine how much protection we need to add to the packaging.

 

We will always recommend the fastest carrier when ordering Cheeses, specially our frozen products, where we will always recommend a Next Day Shipment to guarantee its freshness, and avoid using Shipping Options with over  2 Days transit for Frozen Products and over 3 days transit for Cheeses and other Refrigerated items (Non Refrigerated Goods service),  since time frames are not guaranteed, this is to ensure a faster delivery and avoid having the product exposed to the changes of temperature and spoil it. Please keep in mind how sensitive is the product you are ordering, however, this decision/choice is yours and we will proceed as demanded in majority of the cases, however VENEFOOD USA reserves the right to decide what is best for your order regardless the option chosen by the customer, nevertheless we will make every attempt to keep the shipping method selected by the customer, we will also reserve the right to change such method in the event  of having orders placed late that week, carriers schedule/pick up times and other circumstances. Customer could be contacted by a member of our team to propose a change on the shipping selection or a change to the order. 

 

We avoid shipping packages with frozen/refrigerated items on Thursdays and Fridays, this way we don’t have weekend interruptions. We will notify our customers once orders are shipped, providing them with a tracking number to follow your product in every stage. If orders are received late on the week we will move the shipping to the following Monday. If your order is received on a Wednesday and taking into consideration that we need at least 24-48 hours to prepare your package since orders are processed in the way they are received, your order will be shipped the following Monday to avoid weekends interruptions, (exceptions could apply for customers in the East Coast). 

​

For Orders inside Florida most carriers will take one day to deliver your order, however this option is not always guaranteed. This time frame of delivery is counted once order is prepared and ready to shipped.
