What is approximate weight, and how is it determined?
A While the weights of some items are exact (i.e. prepared and pre-packaged foods), most raw meat and poultry items do have a variance in weight from piece to piece. To help keep prices reasonable, we calculate the approximate weight for each item rather than weighing and tagging each item individually. At the time your order is packed for shipment we calculate the gross weight of each item in your order and adjust the invoice to reflect the actual weight which has been shipped. For example, if you order “5” of a particular item (i.e. 5 packages of chicken cutlets) we will calculate the weight of the collective 5 packages while adjusting the invoice to reflect the total weight. Your actual bill will can be between 10% to 15% less than the amount you see during checkout (the approximate weights are set to typically be higher than actual weight of products).
