Please remember that we are not the courier, but a small family-owned business doing our best. If there is any issue with your delivery caused by the courier's delay or other circumstances, we will always take care of you, our valued customer.
If you are ordering prior to Christmas and want to be sure you have your tamales for Christmas or Christmas Eve, order early, and do not specify a delivery date. When your tamales arrive, keep them in the refrigerator (3+ weeks) or freezer (up to 12 months) until your event.
NOTE: Shipments going to Alaska and Hawaii are exception cases and and typically will only go by Air Shipping Methods. Please call customer service for more details.
Above are the deadlines for all destinations. If your shipping destination is less days in transit, your actual deadline may be later.

Note: Every year, we have a few Tamale Packages that are stolen from porches. To help prevent this from happening to you, make sure to A) Track your package, and B) Plan to have a friend or neighbor pick up your package if you are unable to receive the package that day. Offer to share some tamales with them for helping and please do your part in stopping Tamale thieves!
