Why is the word "Roasted" added to our Bacon Label?
Different Label, Same Delicious Product! You may notice that our bacon labels have been updated to include the word roasted, but not to worry! We have added roasted to keep current with industry standards for product labeling. Rest assured, our legendary bacon using old-world smoking methods and cherished family recipes have not changed a bit.

Why is bonus gift shipping limited to order ship-to addresses?
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.

How will my order be kept cool during shipping?
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, depending on the contents of your order and climate of the delivery address, in order to keep your Nueske’s meat products properly chilled.

Do you ship products overseas? Canada?
Overseas: 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, require additional air shipping charges.
Canada: No. Unfortunately, it has become increasingly difficult for packages of perishable goods crossing the border from the 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.

At Nueske's Applewood Smoked Meats, we take tremendous pride in treating our customers with openness and honesty.  If, for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with your order, please reach out to our Customer Care Team.  We promise a fair and equitable resolution including an appropriate refund or replacement.

If for any reason, you have concerns with your recent delivery, please contact our Customer Care Team within 45 days of your delivery.

Please note:  Nueske’s is not responsible for delays or shipments that did not arrive as a result of an incorrect or incomplete address provided on the order. Customers are required to provide accurate shipping addresses for Nueske’s to guarantee delivery. Failure to provide a correct shipping address voids our guarantee and will require additional payment (including the replacement cost of shipping).
