About us
How Long Has Lobster Gram Been In Business?
We have been serving customers since 1987! And believe us, we've come a long way
since those early days of Dan single-handedly taking calls and processing orders
in the basement of his house!
Where are you located?
We ship all our live Maine lobster packages directly from our warehouse in Biddeford,
Maine (that's why our lobsters are always awesome and totally ocean-fresh). Our
National Customer Service Headquarters are in Chicago (our sweet home), since Dan
the Lobster Man was born and raised in the suburbs here. We do ship frozen packages
to the Midwest and West Coast from our Chicago warehouse.
How are Lobster Gram lobsters packaged?
Since we have been shipping lobsters and other gourmet products since 1987, you could say we have mastered the packaging to get our products to you in perfect condition as much as possible. Our lobsters are packed in a Styrofoam cooler with frozen gel packs to keep them
cold, thirsty pads to keep them moist, and bubble wrap to prevent too much shifting.
How long do Lobster Gram lobsters stay alive?
Lobsters can live approximately up to 36 hours outside of water. They do this by
storing up the salty seawater in their gills, which is what they 'breathe'. Their
ideal temperature is between 40 and 50 degrees, which is why we use the ice gel
packs in the cooler. Then, the Overnight Air delivery gets them to your cooking
pot just in time for dinner!
Where do Lobster Gram lobsters come from?
All of our live lobsters are called "Maine" lobsters, yet any lobster that carries the "Maine" label is not necessarily caught off the coast of Maine. "Maine" lobsters may be caught anywhere as far north as Nova Scotia and as far south as North Carolina.
We also carry frozen "Maine" lobster tails, in addition to 10 different varieties
of frozen lobster tails from all around the world! To view them, click here:

Where do Lobster Gram steaks come from?
All of our steaks are cut fresh right in Chicago, where all of our mid-western corn-fed
beef is carefully inspected, graded and cold-aged to its tender, flavorful perfection.
We only carry a very high grade USDA Choice or USDA Prime (the highest of beef grades).
We even ship our steaks from Chicago to Biddeford so that every package contains
the same incredible top-quality beef.
Is placing my order on your website safe?
Yes. Our shopping cart is secured and fully encrypted to ensure that your credit
card information is processed accurately and securely. The little closed padlock
you will see at the bottom of your screen during order checkout shows you when you
have entered a secured area of the internet.
Are Corporate Programs available?
Definitely! We make the best Corporate Programs and have a long list of happy corporate
customers! Give us a call and we will be happy to send you our very cool "Corporate
Kit" with a list of corporate clients and all the neat ways we can put together
the best gift or incentive program you've ever had.
What about our Customer Service?
Just because you are placing your order online with Lobster Gram doesn't mean that
we don't want to hear from you. As our customer, your happiness is our "Maine" concern.
