Our Shipping Process
How we package
Local Shipping
HQ Meats offers convenient local shipping with insulated packaging and ice packs to keep your order fresh. Choose our cost-effective Starling program by placing your order before 12 PM for next-day delivery in Toronto (with select days outside the city), or opt for Uber courier delivery for same-day service within a two-hour window. Both options use the same premium packaging, ensuring your meat arrives fresh—not frozen—though blast freezing is available.
How we package
National Shipping
For larger distance orders, HQ Meats ships with UPS using thick 1.25-inch insulation, heavy dry ice, and ice packs to ensure your products stay fully frozen upon arrival. All items are blast frozen before shipping to guarantee quality, and we offer a one-day UPS shipping option for reliable delivery at their rate.
