Where can I buy the products you sell near my home?

In most cases, it is unlikely that you can. The products that we ship are, for the most part, only widely distributed in the New York area. That is why we feel that there is a niche for this site.

Please also keep in mind that we do not manufacture any of the products we list and that the manufacturers do not keep us up to date as to where else they sell their products.

Is there still an $82 charge if I only order a small amount of hot dogs, knishes, or pretzels?

Yes, we must add a shipping charge to all "create your own package" orders. This charge covers not only the freight charges, but the costs of the insulated container and ice packs as well. If you place any order which contains items which must be kept cool, we must send it in an (expensive) insulated container with ice packs. In addition, the delivery companies charge either the actual weight of the shipment or the dimensional weight, whichever is greater. That means that if the total weight of your shipment is only 10 lbs, we can still be charged for a 18 lb shipment because of the size of the container.

We have created a special page for those of you who are only interested in condiments. If your order consists only of condiments, which do not need to be kept cool in transit, there is not a $82 shipping charge.

Please note that our Package Deals include shipping.

Will you donate products and/or money to my organization?

Although All County Provisions donates a large amount of products and a great deal of money to local organizations, we cannot accept e-mail requests for donations and we cannot make any donations to organizations outside of our local area. We will not reply to phone or e-mail requests for donations.

Do you sell Drake's cakes?

No, we do not. We did when we started the site, but were forced to stop by the company that owned Drake's. The company was on a crusade to stop all on-line sales of their products and it was not worth it to us to make it a legal battle and end up in court. We do not know where you can get Drake's on-line nor do we know how you can contact Drake's.
