Online Store
We are shipping October 1st through May 5.Return Policy and Covid 19
Due to labor shortages and logistics backlogs no carrier (USPS,FedEx, UPS) extends any guarantee anymore about delivery within the estimated arrival time of the original order, unless it is shipped overnight for very high cost. Lively Run Dairy is not able to guarantee the timely arrival of your purchase once it is in the carrier’s hands.
How we ship and Cheese Quality upon arrival
We ship your order in an insulated box with one reusable ice pack. Upon arrival, the ice pack will have melted and the cheese will be at ambient temperature. This is ok, because cheese is a preserved food. It was originally stored at room, or cellar temperatures until the dawn of the refrigerator.
Unless the vacuum package has blown up with air the cheese will be good. Cheese wrapped in paper may smell a little pungent, the ripening process during shipment has continued. Refrigerate right away and take stock a few hours later. If you still have concerns, take a picture and let us know by emailing to onlinestore@livelyrun.com
