Cold storage and frozen items like our Pastured Poultry, Grass-Fed Meats and Dairy items are shipped from a separate location and have separate shipping charges from our non-cold storage items. Shipping charges depend on weight and zip code, and you will see the rates and options before you checkout. These items are only shipped within the US, and 2nd Day Air is the only option available for Hawaii and Alaska. If perishable food items are damaged in shipment, we will refund the cost or ship another cooler. These products which are perishable are non-refundable.

Cancellations, Refunds, and Security
You can cancel and change your order online and have it credited to your account anytime before the order is processed for shipping by going here. Please note that it may take a few days before the refund posts to your account. Unlike many companies doing transactions on the Internet, Tropical Traditions upholds the highest security standards possible on the Internet. We never store credit card numbers anywhere on our servers, and because of this, your order is charged at the time of purchase, not the time of shipment. This keeps your credit card information in the hands of the banks, not us. Other companies which charge your card at the time of shipping are storing your credit card number on their server. Many of these businesses are hosting their websites on "shared servers" with many other businesses with public access to the same computer. Tropical Traditions subscribes to ScanAlert, a fee-based merchant service that scans our servers DAILY to look for security holes, and we run our websites on dedicated servers that no one else has access to.
Due to the nature of the products, perishable food items such as meat, poultry and dairy are not eligible for refund or return.
The following items have special shipping charges applied, as they are drop shipped from a different location:
• Rebounders - $25 special shipping (folding) and $33 special shipping (non-folding.)
* Order minimum consists of Tropical Traditions main warehouse-shipped items only. Items such as our grass-fed cheese, grass-fed bison, grass-fed butter, pastured poultry and our Needak Rebounders are shipped from a different location, and they do not get counted towards the order minimum order.
