We know shipping cost for perishables can sometimes be a little costly. We are constantly trying to work with our carrier to give our customers the best rates possible. We are currently offering discounted weekday deliveries for most of our products. To learn more about shipping rates & discounted deliveries, call us toll free at 1-877-546 8667.

Delivery Terms: Seafood products are very perishable. All our shipments are packed with ample refrigerant to maintain the product in average weather conditions for the shipping period (estimated conservatively to allow for some extra time). It is recommended that someone be available to receive shipments from Linton's Seafood upon delivery, or shortly thereafter. If you are sending a gift to someone, please notify them when to expect the delivery. If no one is available, and the package is left unattended for an extended period (especially in hot climates), we cannot guarantee that the seafood will remain in good condition.

Upon receipt we recommend that you unpack the shipper contents as soon as possible and store the seafood in the refrigerator and/or freezer, as appropriate, to maintain optimum freshness. The shipping containers may not be suitable for storing your product after receipt.

Please check the shipping address carefully for errors. We cannot guarantee shipments that FedEx and UPS are unable to deliver.
Availability: Due to ever changing weather and supply conditions out of our control, occasionally an item will become unavailable after an order is placed. Should that happen we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss substituting another item of equal or greater value, or changing the delivery timing.
