Timing matters when ordering Frozen Feeders online. Choosing the right shipping day helps reduce transit delays, avoid weekend holds, and improve delivery reliability for perishable products like Frozen Mice and Frozen Rats. Because we ship all orders using FedEx Ground. Hence, timing matters—especially when shipping perishable products. So, planning your order around the shipping schedule can help ensure your package arrives frozen, protected, and on time.
Below is a clear breakdown to help you decide the best day to order and what to expect.
Our Preferred Shipping Day: Monday
Monday is the best day to have your frozen feeders order shipped. It ensures the fastest and most reliable shipping experience.
Shipping on Monday gives FedEx the entire workweek to deliver your package, which helps reduce delays and prevents shipments from sitting in transit over the weekend.
- FedEx has the full workweek for delivery
- Lower chance of weekend transit delays
- Reduced risk of packages sitting in facilities
- Better delivery consistency for perishable shipments
Monday Shipping Cutoff
- Orders received before 8:00 AM CST on Monday will ship that same Monday.
- This timing offers the most reliable delivery window and the lowest risk of extended transit time.
This shipping window is ideal for:
- Large frozen feeder orders
- Long-distance deliveries
- Bulk frozen mice and rat shipments
- Warm-weather shipping
Second Best Option: Tuesday
If you miss the Monday cutoff, Tuesday is the next best day to ship.
- Orders received by 1:00 PM CST on Tuesday will ship on Tuesday.
- Tuesday shipments still have most of the workweek for delivery and are generally safe and reliable.
Why Wednesday Shipments Are Least Desirable
- Wednesday shipments often require weekend delivery to arrive on time.
- FedEx does not deliver on Sundays to some parts of the country, which can cause packages to sit an extra day in a FedEx facility.
- FedEx does not deliver to commercial (business) addresses on weekends. If your order is shipping to a business, it may be held until Monday, to reduce the risk of late delivery.
- Large orders – $300+ – should not be shipped on Wednesday if possible.
Special Considerations for Zone 4 States
Some states require longer FedEx Ground transit times and may need Monday-only shipping schedules for safer delivery timing.
Common Zone 4 States Include
- Washington
- Oregon
- Maine
- Parts of New York
- Idaho
- Montana
Transit times for these destinations may range from 4–7 days depending on location and order size.
Depending on order size and destination, these shipments may be held and shipped on Monday to avoid unnecessary delays or weekend holds.
