Harmony Cheese Shipping Guidelines

At Harmony Cheese, we take great pride in the quality of our handcrafted cheeses and want to ensure they arrive at your door in excellent condition. Please review our shipping guidelines below:

Shipping Method:
  • We primarily ship via standard UPS Ground to most states within the contiguous United States.
Important Shipping Restrictions:
  • We DO NOT ship to P.O. Boxes. Please provide a valid physical street address for delivery.
  • We currently do not offer shipping to Hawaii.
Shipping Options and Considerations:
  • We offer shipping options at checkout. Please note that shipping times are estimates and commence once your order has shipped, not when the order is placed.
  • Warm Weather Shipping: For customers residing in states within Zone 3 (our designated warm climate zone), we take extra precautions to protect your cheese. Your order will be shipped in a thermal bag with extra ice packs. DUE TO THE PERISHABLE NATURE OF OUR PRODUCTS, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF YOU CHOOSE TO ORDER DURING PERIODS OF HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY, DESPITE OUR THERMAL PACKAGING, IT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE CONDITION OF THE CHEESE UPON ARRIVAL IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
Order Processing Time:
  • We carefully pack and ship orders on our Monday and Tuesday ship days. Your order will ship on the next ship day after it is placed (see Shipping Schedule below).
Shipping Schedule:
  • We ship orders on Mondays and Tuesdays to help ensure your cheese arrives fresh and avoids unnecessary weekend delays. Orders placed by 10:00 a.m. CT on Tuesday will ship that week. Orders placed after 10:00 a.m. CT on Tuesday will ship the following Monday or Tuesday.
Shipping Zones (for reference):
  • Zone 1: AK, CA, CO, DC, FL, ID, IN, KS, KY, MA, MI, MO, NE, NH, NY, ND, OH, OK, PA, SD, TN, VT, VA, WV, WY
  • Zone 2: IL, IA, MI, MN, WI
  • Zone 3: AL, AZ, CT, DE, GA, LA, MD, MS, NE, NJ, NM, NC, OR, RI, SC, TX, UT, WA
Summer Shipping Considerations:
  • Shipping cheese to hot and humid states (specifically Zone 3) during the summer months presents challenges with standard ground shipping. While we include ice packs to help maintain a cool temperature during typical summer conditions, we may suspend ground shipping to Zone 3 during July and August. Expedited shipping options may be required for these areas during peak summer.
Delivery and Tracking:
  • Shipping speeds are approximate and not guaranteed.
  • Please be aware that delays may occur, particularly during the holiday season, which are often outside of our control. We appreciate your understanding.
  • Once your order has shipped, you will receive a tracking number via email so you can monitor its progress.
We appreciate your business and hope you enjoy the exceptional taste of Harmony Cheese!
