Crab Shipping Chart
Not sure when to order your crabs or which shipping method you should select?
We ship crabs Tuesday - Friday. All crabs ordered on one day are shipped out the next available FedEx pick up day. FedEx does not pick up on Sundays and does not include it as a "day" when determining overnight and 2-day shipping. Crabs can only be shipped via overnight or 2-day shipping to ensure quality. FedEx Home Delivery is also an option at check out depending on your zip code. Home Delivery is a less expensive option. But, please note, Home Delivery is not a guaranteed service.
Use this handy cheat sheet. Select which day you'd like your crabs to be delivered, see what day(s) you should order and which shipping methods get your crabs to you on your preferred delivery date.
** The cheat sheet is a good guideline but our crab supply fluctuates daily and can be impacted by a variety of factors such as Gulf Coast weather, traffic affecting freight truck delivery times, etc.
** In some cases, we can ship your order the same day. This is based on several factors ... time order is placed, current crab inventory, etc.
** Most orders that do not include crabs can be shipped same day if the order is received before noon Eastern Time.
