Before you subscribe
- Confirm the exact SKU storage type (frozen cooked vs shelf-stable vs raw).
- Confirm the merchant ships to your ZIP/state and address type (street vs PO Box).
- Read whether the free-shipping threshold is before or after discounts and whether tax counts.
- Ask whether frozen and shelf-stable items ship on separate charges or carts.
- Note cutoff times and timezones for the next ship date.
- Plan freezer / pantry space; if package volume is unknown, write unknown—do not guess from weight alone.
Evidence fields we store

Damage, thaw, and safety boundary
Photograph packaging and contact the merchant for credit/replacement rules. Do not use forum photos to declare food microbiologically safe. Pair brand handling text with general FDA pet-food handling principles; product-specific thaw windows still come from the brand.
