Stittsworth Meats
FAQ
Shipping, hours, processing, wholesale, and the club — answered straight.
When do you ship?
Online orders ship on Tuesday from Bemidji. If Tuesday is a holiday, the box goes out the following Tuesday. Orders placed after Monday cutoff ship the next Tuesday.
How long does shipping take?
Two-day guaranteed transit after the Tuesday pack-out. Boxes leave frozen with dry ice and an insulated shipper, and arrive frozen or refrigerator-cold.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Orders over $125 ship free — no code. Under $125, shipping covers the insulated box (~$20) and dry ice (~$2–$3 per pound) that keep the meat cold.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes — the lower 48. Minnesota addresses typically see 1–2 days in transit after Tuesday ship. Same frozen cold-chain everywhere else.
What are the Bemidji shop hours?
The butcher shop at 722 Paul Bunyan Dr NW is open Monday–Friday 8am–6pm and Saturday 8am–5pm. Closed Sunday. The Turtle River smokehouse is by appointment / drop-off — call (218) 586-2149.
Can I pick up instead of shipping?
Yes. Order online and choose pickup, or call the Bemidji shop at (218) 751-1320. Fresh meat counter orders are cut to order.
How long does custom deer processing take?
Typical turnaround is 3–4 weeks during deer season. We call you when it is ready. Every deer is processed individually — never batched with another hunter.
What is wholesale / case-ready lead time?
Standard production is 14 production days from a confirmed PO for most case-ready and wholesale SKUs. First runs and custom specs may take longer. Flag promotional surges 3–4 weeks out.
How does the Smokehouse Club work?
Recurring boxes from the smokehouse. 15% off every box, free shipping, skip or cancel anytime. Tiers include The Weeknight Quickie, The Smoke Show, and Pocket Meat (Garlic and Pepper strips, Prime Rib, Honey, Colorado, and Pepper Sticks & Cheese Curds). First-box code FIRSTBOX20.
What if my box arrives warm or damaged?
Email sales@stittsworthmeats.com within 72 hours with a photo. We refund or replace shipping errors on our end. We cannot refund a box left on a porch or missed at the door.
