5. What If You're Not Home?
You do not necessarily need to be home to receive your V Key Ranch order. If you will be away, please provide clear delivery instructions when placing your order.
You may designate a suitable location, such as:
-
A covered front porch
-
A garage or other protected area
-
A clean, insulated cooler with sufficient ice or another appropriate cold-storage option
Please ensure the designated location is accessible, secure, and suitable for receiving frozen or refrigerated beef.
Important: If you will not be home, we strongly recommend providing a suitable cooler or other appropriate cold-storage arrangement so your beef can remain at a safe temperature until you retrieve it.
6. Safe Delivery and Missed Deliveries
If you are unavailable and have provided authorization and a suitable location, we may leave your order according to your instructions.
If no safe drop-off location is available, we will attempt to contact you. If we cannot reach you, your order may be returned to V Key Ranch for safekeeping and delivery will need to be rescheduled.
Additional delivery fees may apply for a second delivery attempt.
Please ensure your delivery instructions are accurate and that someone can retrieve the order promptly.
7. Unattended Deliveries
By authorizing an unattended delivery, you permit V Key Ranch to leave your order at the designated location you provided.
We will make reasonable efforts to follow your instructions and may send a delivery confirmation by text, including a photo when appropriate.
Once an order has been delivered to your authorized location, the customer is responsible for promptly retrieving it and placing it in appropriate cold storage. This policy does not limit any rights or remedies you may have under applicable law.
