Each year during the Christmas holiday season, Richards Pizza will take
orders for the "Nationwide Famous Steak Send-Off" and pack and ship
thousands of Richards Famous Italian Steak Sandwiches in January. ³We have
shipped them to steak sandwich lovers all over the United States. People
send them to relatives and friends - and even place orders for themselves²,
says owner Karen Underwood.
Here's how it works:
Each order of six sandwiches - precooked, frozen, packaged in dry ice in
heavy-duty reusable coolers and complete with reheating instructions - can
be sent anywhere in the United States. (Prices higher to Alaska and Hawaii).
Unfortunately, customs regulations prohibit shipments to foreign countries.
All of the sandwich ingredients are packaged separately including six 88%
lean beef patties, sweet Spanish onions, crunchy pickles, tasty
secret-recipe sauce, and toasted Italian buns.
Orders can be placed in person, by phone, or on the website. People phoning
in orders or using the website may use Visa, MasterCard, American Express,
or Discover.
To avoid shipping problems with perishable products during the holiday season, we take orders each year from November through December and ship the sandwiches in January. We will send each recipient an acknowledgment card and free gift from Richards that arrives before Christmas Day.
Prices vary each year depending on the shipping rates and fuel surcharges
charged by the shipping company.
The prices for the 2009 Send Off (for all
states except Alaska and Hawaii), including shipping, are:
$74 - 6 regular steak sandwiches (original sauce, pickle and onion)
$78 - 6 steak sandwiches with cheese added
$80 -6 steak sandwiches with cheese and mushrooms.-->
We will begin taking orders for 2009 around the first of November. We cannot ship steak sandwiches throughout the rest of the
year for several reasons: 1.) Obtaining dry ice in Cincinnati one order at
a time is very costly and 2.) We do not receive the substantial shipping
discount that we do when shipping the large number of packages in January.
However, to take or ship them yourself any time of
the year, just give us 24-hours notice and we can package and freeze your
sandwiches for you. We have the shipping coolers and cartons available
also. Please call one of our locations for more information.
