Kentucky is our neighbor — parts of the eastern part of the state are closer to our Kingsport kitchen than much of Tennessee is. Louisville, Lexington, and the mountain counties all fall well inside FedEx, and southeastern Kentucky sits right at the edge of our home region. Meals arrive via FedEx Ground in about one ground day. Order by Thursday at midnight.
SmashMeals cooks every meal in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen and does not bring wheat, barley, or rye into the facility. That avoids shared gluten-containing prep equipment and airborne flour from on-site gluten baking, which reduces cross-contact risk compared with a shared kitchen. Ingredients, suppliers, and handling still require controls, so customers with celiac disease should review each meal's ingredient and allergen information and make decisions based on their own medical guidance.
How much does shipping to Kentucky cost?
Shipping is a $30 flat rate via FedEx, no matter how many meals you order. Local Tri-Cities, Tennessee customers can choose pickup or local delivery instead.
How do the meals stay fresh in transit to Kentucky?
Meals ship cold in insulated packaging with ice packs sized for 1-day FedEx ground transit. When they arrive, refrigerate them right away. Most meals keep several days refrigerated, and many can be frozen.
When do I need to order?
Orders close Thursday at midnight each week. Meals are cooked fresh after ordering closes, ship early the following week, and reach Kentucky in about one FedEx ground day.
I'm in far eastern Kentucky — am I in your local zone or shipping zone?
Our local pickup and delivery serve the Tri-Cities, Tennessee area. Kentucky addresses receive FedEx shipping at the $30 flat rate — and you're inside our FedEx Ground shipping footprint. If you're close to Kingsport, you're welcome to order for pickup instead.
