• Orders of $75 or more ship free within the contiguous United States.
• Alaska and Hawaii ship 2-Day Air Express. We ship to APO/FPO/DPO and U.S. territory addresses, but not outside the United States.

The full table is always on our shipping policy page.

Missed the deadline?

A Dan the Sausageman gift card is delivered instantly by email, with no processing fees, so it still arrives on Christmas morning.

Ordering for a long list?

Ship to every address in one checkout with Ship to Multiple Addresses, and upload your list with a gift note for each person. Here's how it works. Corporate orders of 50+ boxes appreciate a week of lead time, and custom logo boxes need 2–3 weeks, so start early.
