SHIPPING POLICY

Please call us if you have questions or need help placing your order.

Caviar Star Orders:

1. Our caviar is shipped refrigerated in our custom designed insulated packaging, and will keep cold for up to 48-72 hours. Your shipment will arrive fresh, usually the day after it is ordered.
2. Perishable items are shipped next-day, via UPS or Fedex overnight delivery and non-perishable items are shipped FedEx or UPS Ground unless you have requested otherwise. 
3. We will do our part to get your order out and delivered to you on the desired date, however, sometimes unforeseen delays, such as higher than normal shipping volumes or adverse weather, might delay the delivery date of your order. We pay to cover our Express shipments to better protect against service disruptions, however, we may hold your order to prevent spoilage if there is severe weather or an official courier service delay.

Please note that Saturday delivery is not available to all locations. If your order is urgent, please call us and we will do whatever we can to expedite it.

Customer/Address Information:

1. Caviar and other perishable products purchased through Caviar Star can only be insured when delivering within the United States. FedEx and UPS have guaranteed delivery within the 50 US states, but shipments going via USPS and/or to US territories, protectorates, and military bases are not covered for spoilage. International customers should contact us for info and pricing on overseas shipments.
2. Caviar and perishables are not guaranteed to be deliver to a PO Box on-time and therefore are not insurable. Non-perishables going to a PO box will go UPS or USPS. Please indicate a full shipping address and telephone number when ordering.
3. We are not responsible for incorrect addresses. Please carefully check name, address and zip code of recipient.
4. To prevent fraudulent activity, new customers who place orders that have different "Bill to" and "Ship to" addresses will be contacted before their order ships. Such orders will not ship until the purchaser confirms the shipment.
5. Please provide any "Special Shipping Instructions" at checkout, in the "Order Instructions/Comments (Optional)" field of the order confirmation section. We are not responsible, for loss or damage to deliveries requested with "no signature required", or, for delivery delays that are beyond our control.

Packing Slip/Invoice: Inside the package there will be no paperwork showing the prices paid on your order, only a Caviar Star packing slip to show the contents of the box. Please notify us in advance if you want an invoice included with your shipment.
