Before purchasing
Pork Roll or any perishable food items anywhere, please read this information from the
Federal Government's guidelines for Consumers:
"Consumers have control over the foods they choose.
Always make sure food packages are intact before opening them."
Our packaging
methods may include dry-ice, Cool Shield® Insulation, high-quality gel
packs, and EPS foam shippers, that are provided as necessary for no extra
charge. (Wholesale orders are charged for crates and cargo
containers)
EPS foam inserts assembled in postal boxes are not sufficient
to ensure cold delivery of perishable food. These are
purchased by some companies for as little as .99 and used as
coolers, but they are not the same as molded EPS shipping
cartons.
You do not have to pay
extra for shipping to guarantee cold delivery from Jersey Pork
Roll.com/NJPorkRoll.com unless you live in Hawaii.
Our
shipping methods have been approved by the USDA since August
2004. They were approved again as of Oct 10,
2006. The USDA governs interstate shipping, and we received approval prior
to opening for business in 2004. We have been inspected by our Board
of Health since 1989. That is not true of all food selling web
sites, including some of the sites currently selling Taylor
and Sabrett products.
Please be aware that anyone can buy a domain name and
begin selling food with out food handling certification, or
proper knowledge of food safety. Companies that open for business
without the proper knowledge of food safety, USDA and FSIS
laws and rules risk the
health of every customer as well as the reputation of all
Taylor and Sabrett vendors.
We ship many pork roll orders within 24 hours of receiving
your order. Many orders go out the same day you place your
order, so please be prepared for its arrival in 1 - 3 business
days.
If you live in a 1 - 2 day delivery area from NJ, we often use
UPS and you will have your package the next business day. (NY,
CT, MA, RI, PA, MD, DC, VA, WV, ME, NH, and more) We do NOT
charge extra for 1 - 2 day delivery, or rush orders whether
you choose Express or not. Quite simply, if your order arrives
in the office before our trucks depart, it will be shipped
immediately if at all possible at our regular low shipping
prices.
Taylor Provisions manufactures and packages all of our pork
roll products, including the pre-sliced, vacuum packaged Taylor Pork Roll
in boxes, and Trenton Pork Roll. We do not
open and slice any products as that is not allowed by
Federal Law, nor have we ever done so. When you choose which site to order from, make
sure your products will bear a USDA Inspection Number and
expiration date. You have the right as a consumer through the
Freedom of Information Act to request the results of USDA
Inspections of any business you buy from, including web sites
selling pork roll. We encourage you to do so, and welcome
examination of the results of our inspections.
NJ Pork Roll is a full-time, fully operational
company, shipping wholesale to restaurants, diners, and cafes,
as well as shipping retail across the country.
Orders can also be picked up 7 days a week, excluding holidays, at our Piscataway,
New Jersey location. (Closed some Sundays in winter
months)
As a full-time business, our orders can be shipped nationally
6 days a week. Express orders are shipped every day
except Sunday. We professionally package all orders to ensure cold, fresh delivery, no matter what your location or climate is. We
do not require you spend extra money for EPS shipping
containers to guarantee your delivery.
As experienced shippers, we know how the US Postal Service
routes mail and stores it in transit, and at no time will your order sit in a warehouse.
The USPS does not have warehouses or storage facilities, but
UPS and FEDEX do. US Mail
moves 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. (The only exceptions
are for packages that are not Express delivery arriving on
Sundays.)
The health and safety of our customers
is our most important concern. Our liability insurance
carrier does not allow us to ship open food products, nor ship in an unsafe manner. Food-borne illness is a serious concern for all in the
industry -- all reputable companies have liability insurance.
We have shipped thousands of packages to all 50 states since we've been in business. As shown in the guest book from
April 2005, we monitor the temperature of every order we receive by the zip code provided on the order form. Only during an excessive heat wave is shipping delayed, as we did last summer when average temperatures reached over 100 degrees throughout most of the country.
Your porkroll order is guaranteed to arrive cold or it will
be replaced.
Our guarantee is not something newly added to our website. Our
research with temperature control analysts and engineers in
the packaging industry began in August, 2004.
