We currently only ship in the state of Nebraska.

We now offer monthly porch delivery within 150 miles of Saint Paul, NE.

Boxes shipped early in the week help ensure your meat doesn’t get stuck in a warehouse over the weekend for the shipments we don't hand deliver.

  • Ground (based on location and time of year)

All shipping and handling costs are included in the final price.


🚚 Why UPS? Can I Change Carrier?

We’ve tested other carriers, but for Bar S Bar Ranch, UPS has been the most reliable and affordable for frozen, perishable shipments.
Other carriers had higher costs and the same (or worse) delivery issues. We understand how frustrating shipping delays and unclear updates can be. We’re always happy to help you navigate them. You cannot change your shipping carrier.


❄️ How Meat is Packed

Every frozen meat order is hand delivered or packed in a recyclable, Made in the USA corrugated box with a 1.5-inch cornstarch-based liner (no Styrofoam).

  • Packed with dry ice to keep your meat frozen in transit

  • It’s normal for the dry ice to be gone when your box arrives

  • Meat should still be frozen solid or cold to the touch (below 40°F)

Check your meat upon arrival. If anything seems off, contact us.


📦 Tracking & Delivery

You'll receive tracking information once your order ships.
UPS scans along the way, but updates can be inconsistent.

We recommend being ready to receive your box once it's en route. UPS may leave the box at your porch, gate, or garage, depending on their policy.

Bar S Bar Ranch cannot control where the delivery driver places your order.

If you like, you can leave delivery instructions at checkout, and we’ll add them to the outside of the box to help guide the driver. We cannot guarantee the driver will follow the instructions.

🛑 IMPORTANT

We do not control your package once it leaves our facility.
If UPS delivers to the wrong address, we’ll do everything we can to help, but please triple-check your shipping info before ordering.


💸 Returns & Refunds

Damaged Goods

If your box arrives damaged or something is broken, let us know right away so we can issue a refund.


Perishable Meat

We do not accept returns on meat due to its perishable nature.
As long as it’s below 40°F on arrival, your meat is safe to refrigerate or refreeze. If you have concerns, reach out.
