SHIPPING POLICY

ORDER PROCESSING

Orders are typically processed and fulfilled in conjunction with the Joplin Area Beekeepers Association’s monthly meeting, which is generally held on the last Tuesday of each month.

Most orders will be prepared, packed, or made ready for shipment or pickup around this time. Orders placed shortly after a monthly meeting may not be processed until the next scheduled meeting cycle.

Processing timelines may vary based on product availability, seasonal demand, or club activities.
