Before you join

This is a waitlist, not an order. Joining holds your place in line. Nothing is charged when you submit this form. We'll contact you to confirm availability, cuts, weight, price and a handoff date before anything is packed or paid for.

Alaska delivery only. We currently fill waitlist orders for Alaska addresses only.

Season and availability

Reindeer are harvested on Nunivak Island from November through early March. Availability depends on the harvest and the weather, and a place on the waitlist doesn't guarantee an order can be filled.

What you're buying

Sold as whole animals, front halves and hind quarters, bone-in.
Priced per pound at slaughter weight. The current price is $12.54 per lb; your final price is confirmed with you before payment.
Meat ships frozen.

Payment

Once your order is confirmed, we accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover; Apple Pay and Google Pay; and bank transfer (ACH). Payment covers your order only. Air freight is paid separately, directly to the airline or carrier you arrange.

Shipping from Nunivak Island

Nunivak Island is reached only by air. Orders leave Mekoryuk by small plane and usually connect through Bethel and Anchorage before reaching you.

You arrange the shipping. You are responsible for booking air cargo with the airline or freight carrier, paying all freight and handling charges, and arranging pickup or onward delivery at each connection.

What we do. Nunivak Reindeer prepares, packs and labels your order at Mekoryuk, and hands it to the carrier you've arranged on the agreed date.

Once it's with the carrier, it's yours. Responsibility for the order passes to you when it's handed to the carrier at Mekoryuk. Nunivak Reindeer is not responsible for weather delays, missed connections, cancelled flights, temperature changes in transit, lost or damaged freight, or anything else that happens after handoff. Claims for loss or damage in transit go to the carrier.

Plan for weather. Flights off the island are often delayed by weather, sometimes for days. Please allow for this when choosing pickup and delivery dates.

Returns and quality

Because this is a perishable food product, returns are not accepted. If there's a problem with the quality of your order, contact us promptly and we'll work with you to resolve it.

Wholesale

Restaurants, retailers and distributors should apply for a wholesale account instead. Wholesale orders have a $500 minimum.
