Arrives At Your Door
We have moved to offering discounted shipping from the United States Postal Service and UPS. The following services are offered:
UPS Ground (3-5 Business Days, Not Guaranteed, NONREFUNDABLE)
UPS 3 Day Select (3 Business Days, Not Guaranteed, NONREFUNDABLE)
UPS 2 Day Air (2 Business Days, Guaranteed, REFUNDABLE)
USPS Ground Advantage (3-5 Business Days, Not Guaranteed, NONREFUNDABLE)
USPS Priority Mail (2-3 Business Days, Not Guaranteed, NONREFUNDABLE)
USPS Priority Mail Express (1-3 Business Days, Guaranteed, REFUNDABLE)
To ensure the best delivery and avoid shipping over the weekend, Bacon Scout’s bacon is typically delivered on Tuesdays and sometimes Mondays.
Note: “Guaranteed” vs “Not Guaranteed” delivery services are determined by UPS or USPS, not Bacon Scouts. “REFUNDABLE” means UPS or USPS will allow a claim to be processed.
Also, during summer months we only offer two shipping options to ensure you get your bacon as fresh as possible.
*Shipping & Handling to a single address (for orders going to multiple addresses, contact for cost) *We do ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands but only UPS 2nd Day Air or USPS Priority Mail Express so that you get your Bacon in no more than 3 days from the time it reaches the carrier to the time you receive it. -
Your order will ship only on Mondays or Tuesdays each week. The reason for this is to ensure that the freshest possible product arrives at your door unspoiled and isn’t left sitting in a warehouse over a weekend or holiday. We do not ship on weekends or major holidays.
If you've been a Bacon of the Month Club (BOTMC) member before October 2024, it will ship on or after the 15th of the month until your subscription ends. So, if the 15th happens to be on a Friday, the BOTMC won’t ship until the following Monday or Tuesday.
If you've joined the Bacon of the Month Club from October 2024 going forward, your order will renew monthly on the day you placed your order and you should receive your bacon within a week of that renewal date.

We provide our vendors with the highest quality coolers available on the market which have been tested to meet our rigorous standards. All of our perishable products ship frozen and are packed into the coolers, along with frozen gel packs to ensure that your order will arrive at a minimum of refrigerated temperature.
That said, because bacon is smoked and cured, even if your bacon arrives warm, as long as there is no foul odor when your bacon arrives, it is safe to cook and consume.

We currently ship bacon to all 50 states in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. At this time we do not ship to Guam, APO/FPO. We cannot guarantee delivery to PO Boxes, any of our perishable products shipped to a PO Box is ineligible for a refund.

Shipping rates are determined by UPS and USPS and based on your address and how fast you wish to receive your product. At Bacon Scouts, we do everything we can to keep our costs as low as possible and wish we were Amazon and could offer their fast deliveries :)
Over winter months, shipping cost are usually cheaper as products stay frozen longer. We do understand shipping is expensive but we are a local mom and pop company operating out of the midwest, not Amazon. But unlike Amazon, we offer the highest quality award-winning gourmet bacon you can’t get anywhere else. Thank you for your support!

If you are traveling or planning to be out of town, no worries, simply put in a ticket on our contact page and ask for your shipment to be delayed by a month. You will not be charged that month but charges will continue the following month when your membership continues.
