Frequently Asked Questions
Our clients often have questions about how MRE International manages global logistics. From air cargo to ocean freight, here are answers to the most common queries about delivery speed, regional coverage, and bulk MRE shipments.
What does MRE stand for?
MREs, or Meals, Ready-to-Eat, are self-contained meal kits designed for use in environments where conventional food services are unavailable. These meals are suitable for military, disaster relief, and emergency preparedness, offering a variety of options including beef, vegetarian, and Halal. An MRE package typically includes an entrée, side dish, snacks, dessert, and isotonic drinks, providing balanced nutrition.
Equipped with a flameless ration heater, MREs ensure easy and safe meal preparation without the need for fire, making them essential in diverse operational and emergency contexts.
At MRE, we’re committed to serving customers across the globe. We proudly deliver to a wide range of regions including North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and select areas in South America. Whether you're in a major city or a more remote location, we strive to ensure your order reaches you as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Speed: Typically 1 to 7 days, depending on the origin and destination.
Best for: Urgent, high-value, or time-sensitive shipments.
Ocean Freight:
Speed: Typically 20 to 45 days, depending on the shipping route and port congestion.
