Products
Sorry, assortments are pre-packed for shipping so it’s not possible to substitute components with other products.
Most unopened Nueske’s products can be refrigerated for 1 month. (Note: Honey-glazed and spiral-sliced ham and turkey breast can be kept in refrigerator for up to 5 weeks before use.) If you don’t intend to use a product within 1 month, we recommend freezing it. Products may be stored in the freezer 1 year. For specific product shelf life details, click on Store & Prepare tab on each individual website product page.
During the online checkout sequence, you’ll be asked if you have a special promotion code from the back cover of your catalog. Just type in this number (carefully – you won’t get special if code is mistyped or invalid) and click Apply Code button. Special catalog offer will then be automatically applied to your online order.
To maintain the highest possible security level, we do not maintain your credit card account number in our files. While we retain billing and shipping addresses for the convenience of our registered customers, you’ll be asked for your credit card account number each time you order.
No. Except for bacon, Nueske's products that have been Applewood-smoked are fully cooked and ready to eat. While they can be enjoyed at room temperature, many customers prefer to gently warm before serving. (We emphasize gently because overheating will dry out the meat.) IMPORTANT: Non-smoked products must be thoroughly cooked before serving.
A popular standard is 5-6 oz. per guest serving. For example, a 4 lb. ham will serve approximately 10-12 guests (4 lb. = 64 oz. divided by 6 oz. = 11 guests.) This estimate will vary depending on the mix of male and female guests, plus a number of other factors.

Shipping
Due to the perishable nature of many of our products, we can ship via standard shipping only to locations within the continental United States. Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, Virgin Islands & Puerto Rico require additional air shipping charges.
Although it’s costly we love providing free bonus gifts to our loyal customers. These gifts are intended to be enclosed in order shipments where the additional weight of the gift adds little to the cost of shipping. Shipment of bonus gifts to separate addresses is very costly, however, and would make our customer gift program absolutely unaffordable. This is why our program requires gifts be enclosed with order shipments.
We guarantee your order to arrive in perfect condition to the street address you provide. Our products are shipped frozen and our experienced packaging team uses a combination of corrugated boxes, coolers, frozen gel packs, and dry ice depending on the contents of your order and climate of the delivery address, in order to keep your Nueske’s meat products properly chilled.
No. Unfortunately it has become increasingly difficult for packages of perishable goods crossing the border from U.S. to Canada to reach their recipients in a timely manner. These circumstances have forced us to discontinue this option rather than compromise our commitment to the best customer service possible.
