How Your Lobsters Are Packed For Shipping

We ship lobsters to anywhere in the Continental U.S., so we know just how to prepare your lobster for its journey. Your lobsters are packed in an insulated, multi-layered box, with iced-gel packs and seaweed, which will keep your lobsters fresh and alive for up to 24 hours. Please note, we do not ship to Hawaii.

• Unfortunately, James Hook & Co. is unable to offer refunds or cancellations on orders that have already shipped.  While we make every attempt to reduce the risks of shipping live seafood by packing our products carefully to survive potential extra days of travel, there are sometimes circumstances outside our control such as weather and carrier transit that can cause delays.  In anticipation of one of these uncontrollable events, we may contact you to reschedule a shipment.
