Menage Innovations FYI

Good evening Team Menage.

After much deliberation and consideration, we must raise the shipping charges per category to offset the rising fuel surcharges that FedEx has increasingly assessed Menage over the past two years.
We are proud that we have been able to hold the rate constant while our competitors have repeatedly raised their shipping prices over the past two years. For example, Omaha Steaks has risen from $12.99 to $16.99 for a cooler up to $80. More specifically, our products that have shipped for $11.99 (cooler up to $100) will now be $13.99. Even with the rate increase we are still less than most of our competitors in the dry ice shipping business.

Fuel surcharges from all major carriers have risen drastically due to rising fuel costs over the past 8 months. In turn the expense has been continuously forwarded to carrier clients including Menage.
Please examine the "Menage Shipping Schedule" for a detailed explanation of shipping charges and special delivery charges.
Once again thank you for your understanding of the rate increase and for being part of our growing national team.

Ménage Quality Meats are cryo-vacuum packed (all air removed to preserve freshness) and shipped frozen in dry ice in a protected cooler. This causes them to appear brown in color but as soon as you open their wrapping they return to the natural red color. The meat should be cooked or refrozen soon after it is delivered. It should remain cold or cool to the touch. Ménage will E-MAIL the customer a FedEx Tracking Number when the order is shipped for communicating with FedEx. FedEx will report the delivery date and time to Ménage.
