All meat and chicken are frozen. Each package of meat and chicken has different weights and is sold per lb. We estimate during checkout what the total weight “should be”; however, it is possible that your piece of meat and chicken will weigh more than the average. Therefore, an additional credit hold is placed on your card of during checkout to cover the additional cost of your order. Once your order is selected with exact weights, we will then update your order with the precise cost and finalize your order. You will only be charged for the total weight of your order; the remaining hold will go back to your credit card and will not be charged.
