FOOD & MEAT DELIVERY, NORTH BAY AND AREA

Food and meat delivery to North Bay, on one planned run north.

We run a regular route from Peterborough to North Bay and the towns around it. You plan one custom order with a Food Planner around what your family eats, and our own driver carries it in.

How the North Bay run actually works

All our meat comes from Ontario farms, and it’s all-natural. It travels a long way north to reach you, and it stays frozen the whole way.

Everything we deliver leaves our warehouse in Peterborough. That’s a long way from Lake Nipissing, so the northern route isn’t a daily service. The truck is loaded for the whole region, and every family on that run gets their delivery on the same trip.

We don’t deliver on weekends, and we don’t name a day at the table. Two things decide the date: where the route is that week, and whether every item on your order is in and packed. You tell your Food Planner the timing you’d prefer, the office sets the date against the route and the stock, and we text you to confirm before the truck comes.

The route is planned as a loop. Families south along the highway, out east, west along the lake and north of town all come off the same load, so the far end of the loop is still a stop on a route we already drive.

What’s different about delivering north

Two things change once you get past the Muskoka turnoff, and both of them are worth knowing before you order.

The delivery day matters more

On a route like this one the truck isn’t back the next morning, so a missed delivery matters. We confirm the date with you ahead of time, and the driver carries the order inside and puts it where you want it.

Freezer space gets planned ahead

A lot of northern households already keep a freezer with something in it. Before your order is finalized, your Food Planner asks what you’re working with and tailors the order to the space you have.

Ways families up here handle the space

  • Build to the freezer you own. Tell us the size and what’s already in it. The order is planned around that number rather than around a preset box.
  • Take it in more than one delivery. You take part now and the rest on a later run, off the same order at the same locked prices.
  • Add a freezer at our cost. Chest or upright, sold to you at what we pay for it.
  • Say how you want it cut. Roast size, steak thickness, how the ground is packed. Your instructions are written on the order and follow it to the pick list and the delivery slip.
“We have had 11 years of excellent service and quality with Shopease!” Shelley O., 11 years, Google review
“The meat is so nice and fresh. Every package. If its 6 months down the road, still fresh. Ordering and delivery are easy and fast. We live 13 hours away and still fast delivery.” Della B., 4th year, Google review

Why northern families order this way in the first place

The reason we hear most often up here is the drive. A grocery run from Astorville or Chisholm or out past Sturgeon Falls takes a while, and doing it two or three times a week in the dark and the snow after work wears people down. A planned order takes the meat run off the list.

Then there’s the price. Your unit prices are locked in writing for 36 months from the day you sign.

And you choose the food. You go through the catalogue with a Food Planner, and nothing goes on your order that you didn’t put there. If your household eats chicken breasts and ground beef and almost no pork, that’s what the order looks like.

Every Shopease customer gets the same promises, at either end of the province: a 12-month quality guarantee on what we deliver, and 14 days from delivery under our Perfect-Fit Promise to tell us an item isn’t right and have it replaced. When it comes to food, we deliver.

North Bay area questions, answered

What day do you deliver to North Bay?

We don’t deliver on weekends, and we don’t name a day at the table. The date depends on where the route is that week and on every item being in and packed. Tell your Food Planner the timing you’d prefer, the office confirms the date, and we text you before the truck comes.

Do you deliver outside the City of North Bay?

Yes. The same run covers Callander, Astorville, Corbeil and Chisholm, Powassan, Trout Creek, South River and Burks Falls to the south, Sturgeon Falls, Verner and Lavigne to the west, Mattawa and Redbridge to the east, and Temagami to the north. If your town isn’t listed, text your postal code to (705) 304-0080 and we’ll confirm.

Does it cost more to deliver this far north?

No. Delivery is worked into your order when your Food Planner builds it, and it doesn’t go up because of where you live. A family in North Bay and a family in Peterborough are treated exactly the same way.

What if I don’t have enough freezer room?

Say so before the order is finalized. Your Food Planner tailors the order to the freezer you already own, and we may bring it in more than one delivery. We also sell chest and upright freezers at our cost.

Can I split my order into two deliveries?

Yes. You take part of the order on one run and the rest on a later one, off the same order at the same locked prices.

Do I have to be home when the truck arrives?

Yes. Someone needs to be there to check the order against the delivery slip and sign for it. Our own driver carries it in and puts it where you want it, so nothing is left on a porch or in a snowbank.

What happens if something isn’t right?

You’ve got 14 days from delivery under our Perfect-Fit Promise to tell us an item isn’t right for your family, and we replace it. Everything we deliver also carries a 12-month quality guarantee. Call, text or email us.

Can I ask for my meat to be cut a certain way?

Yes. Roast size, steak thickness, how the ground is packed, whatever your family is used to. Your cutting instructions are written on the order and they follow it through to the pick list and the delivery slip.
