Shipping Policy
Shipping is available only within the continental United States. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, APO addresses, or internationally. Orders cannot be shipped to P.O. Boxes. Rural route deliveries are accepted when a complete address and phone number are provided.
Standard Shipping
Our products are individually packed and surrounded with dry ice or gel packs to maintain the proper temperature during transit. Items are placed inside reusable insulated foam containers, which are then packed into heavy-duty corrugated cardboard boxes for additional protection.
Some Emir Halal Foods products are shelf-stable and do not require refrigeration until opened. Orders containing only shelf-stable products may be shipped without dry ice, gel packs, or insulated foam containers.
Please allow 3–5 business days for processing in addition to shipping transit time. Due to the perishable nature of our products, orders are shipped based on transit times from our facility to ensure delivery within the same calendar week. For example, an order received on Wednesday for shipment to California may be shipped the following Monday.
Refer to the shipping zone schedule below to estimate delivery times.
Emir Halal Foods charges FedEx real-time shipping rates based on the destination address and the total weight of the shipment before applicable taxes. Shipping rates will automatically appear during checkout after entering the shipping address.
Raw Meat Delivery
FedEx Ground shipping to the following western states may take 5–6 business days: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas.
Because of these transit times, we cannot guarantee that raw meat will remain at an optimal temperature during ground shipping. We strongly recommend selecting a FedEx 2-Day or 3-Day guaranteed shipping option for raw meat products.
Processing & Delivery Schedule
Weather Delays: Emir Halal Foods reserves the right to temporarily delay order processing during severe weather conditions that may affect shipping transit. Customers will be notified via phone or email if delays occur. Typical weather-related delays are 1–2 business days and usually occur during winter conditions.

Addresses & Availability
Emir Halal Foods cannot guarantee delivery for orders submitted with incorrect addresses. Please ensure that all shipping information is accurate before placing your order.
Packages are clearly marked “Perishable.” It is the recipient’s responsibility to ensure the package is refrigerated promptly upon delivery.
Emir Halal Foods is not responsible for packages that are lost, stolen, or damaged due to the recipient being unavailable during delivery attempts. FedEx typically delivers to apartment lobbies when applicable. All shipments are delivered with “No Signature Required.”
General Information
Products may arrive frozen, partially frozen, or cool to the touch. Partially thawed products can safely be refrozen. Suggested cooking instructions are included with perishable items. Customers are responsible for following proper food safety practices when thawing and preparing products.
Packages may contain partially dissipated dry ice or gel packs. This is normal during transit. Do not touch dry ice with bare skin. Allow it to evaporate inside the cooler or remove it using gloves and dispose of it in a well-ventilated outdoor area away from children and pets.
Products can only be shipped within the continental United States. International shipping is not available.
