Don't bother
On the day of delivery, UPS rescheduled my package for unknown reasons. The tracking showed that it arrived to a station 1.5 hours from my house at 1:47 a.m. on the date of delivery. Despite the sad excuses from UPS, it was just apparent that my package never made it on the truck. The problem is that the food was perishable. La Tienda assured me that despite the problem with the shipper, that there was enough ice in the box to keep it frozen or at least cold for the additional day. La Tienda was very good about refunding my shipping cost but totally impotent in being able to rescue the situation. They couldn't overnight me a new shipment because their shipping department CLOsED at 2 p.m. and it was now 2:30. In a 24/7 world, why is this even reasonable? The box arrived the following day, a day late, and we discovered there was only 3 small packs of ice in a large cubed box. Needless to say, the ice was completely melted and the food inside was totally ruined. To add insult to injury, my order wasn't even complete. I was refunded for the spoiled and missing items but what was the point of ordering from them in the first place? Save yourself the trouble.
