Order fulfillment

All orders are filled and shipped every Monday & Tuesday. If you place an order after 12pm on Monday, it will not be shipped until the following Monday. Because we operate on a small scale, considered to aggregators and commodity farms, some of our products are subject to availability, and occasionally items ordered may be out of stock. We will contact you to discuss resolution. We strive to provide you with the most humane, regenerative products, and given the perishable nature of certain products, some situations are beyond our control.

Please ensure your order is correct before finalizing your purchase. Our system does not have the ability to make changes or edits to existing orders.

Weight

Please note that because no two animals look just alike, there may be some variability between two items of the same cut. We have refined our online store with specs that we think are reasonable. We are not able to guarantee a specific weight, quantity or individual cut size within a share beyond the general estimation and description which is provided for general guidance purposes only. Descriptions are provided as approximate representations of typical products, and we hope you will find this as a general, accurate depiction of the items you receive in your order.

Southeastern Regional Delivery

All Regional Delivery orders placed by 12 noon EST on a Friday will be delivered to your designated address the Monday immediately following. By placing your order and selecting the 'Southeastern Regional Delivery' option, you acknowledge that you understand when the next available delivery date will occur. Refunds and/or reshipment of orders for customers who fail to plan accordingly will not be permitted. 

Store Pick ups

Store pick ups at our Farm Store: Fat Mountain Farms, 210 Haynes Lennon Hwy, Cerro Gordo, NC 28430. If you choose the option of a store pick up at our Farm Store, please allow 36 hours from the time your order is placed to have it ready for pick up.

Payment and Billing Information

By providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method, and that you authorize us to charge your payment method for the total amount of your order or other purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges). Your payment method will be pre authorized pending fulfillment and shipping. Once your order is shipped your payment will be finalized. 

If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your order may be suspended or cancelled. It is your responsibility to resolve any problem we encounter in order to proceed with your order.

Delivery

If you are not at home when your delivery arrives, the carrier will generally leave the package for you at your door. Our coolers are packaged with dry ice and will typically remain frozen for at least 3 days, but depending on the season and temperature in your geographic area at the time of delivery, advance planning to receive your package is advised. Tracking numbers for your order will be sent to the email address your online order was placed under and can be tracked directly on our website. You can track your order through the FedEx/UPS website.

If you have supplied the wrong address, please contact us immediately. We cannot take responsibility for the consequences of shipping to the wrong address, but we will do our best to remedy the situation. We cannot ship to a PO Box.

Returns and Refunds

Please inspect all products you receive from us for any damage or other issues upon delivery. In the event items are damaged or unsatisfactory please notify us at jackmiddleton@fatmountaindfarms or call us at (910)-234-9697. It is always helpful if you can photograph the package, the label, and any issues to help us with a resolution.

Due to USDA guidelines, we can not accept any returns for perishable items, but we take great pride in our premier customer service. If you are not satisfied, we will work with you to reach a reasonable resolution.

We may either replace the item at our expense or, depending on the circumstances and inventory, provide you a full or partial credit or refund of the purchase price for that item.

For non-perishable items: We are a farm, not a distributor or fulfillment center. As long as the items you ordered were fulfilled correctly, we expect the customer to keep them. We stand by the quality of all of our products. But, we are human - if we make a mistake, we will certainly correct it.
