I called Honeybaked last week and was told they are shipped frozen. Customer service there told me that.

QVC may not want it back, but that's not the buyer's problem. I wouldn't want it in my trash for several days. I would absolutely refuse the package!

I never understand why some posters put more weight on what QVC says it wants than what is reasonable from the customer's perspective.
@bluetail fly. Is it such an effort to dump the darn ham in the garbage can? We're talking about a climate that's cold. It won't hurt your pristine garbage can.

Apologies. On second thought after reading your post, I realize that I momentarily forgot that I am but a customer and should never question a corporation in business for profit..

Yes, far far better that the smell of rotting meat draws racoons and o'possums to my erstwhile pristine garbage can.

I should immediately return to my lowly status as a consumer, never daring to question shipping practices that leave items in process for days, leave other items sitting in a post office 35 miles from me for up to ten days, and deliver rotting meat to my door.

On third thought, yes, I would absolutely refuse the package.

Freezing the ham will change the texture...have never seen them freeze the hams, just ship in insulated cold styrofoam.
@lovesrecess. I've often frozen ham and never noticed any change in texture. I think you have it confused with cheese. Honey Baked Ham would not freeze the if it damaged the product.

Yeah, I've never ordered from this company but I have purchased MANY a KC ham over the years and they are always frozen. Not even any degradation at all from that. In fact, after I do my glaze (I do my own and toss the glaze packet), heat it up, etc, I pack a bunch of slices into vac-sealing bags, vac-seal them, and back in the freezer it goes. It's always good and I'm an extremely picky eater.

I am in California, Northern area. I dont eat meat, but I have a granddaughter to loved honeybaked hams omg, she wats all year. So of course i ordered for her. I opted for 19 delivery They emailed me night before, said it shipped from Anaheim, down south i received mext day, on the 19th frozen, and ice packs still hard

i also had a delivery from Katz delicessan in New York Friday. The emailedus about the storm, they said they upped all delivery to overnight It wasthere on doorstep asexpected ice frozen i ordered some katkes, chicken soup and acouple babkas and lox. All was great. They did mention theirstuff is packedto last 3 days safely in warm weather

honey baked ham shoukd replacethe ham. But ifit is still cold it shoukd beokay. Ham is cured to last a while. Plus all te sugar. They do freeze it, mine was frozen hard still. And ten the thawing Unless you arein southern california where weather is warmer lately i would think it woukd be okay.l i would have calledhoney baked a few days ago and hadtem send a new one There is still time to overnight
