I felt very vulnerable and didnt really have that much money to spend (on disability) ... especially as a single person for all these meat products. Luckily being near Christmas time I was able to give a lot away as gifts.
Oh they want to get in, guy reached for the screen door and I grabbed the inside handle. Think it will be easier if they come around next time, I plan on getting a German Shepard soon, I will let him answer the door

If they ever come to my house I'll just answer the door with my balls hanging out and a mouth full of saltine crackers so they fly all over their faces while I'm talking to them.

I can't stand them! They are so rude. One guy try to stop me from shutting my door but my hubby quickly came to the door and got in his face. They haven't knocked on my door since. I'm just lucky he was home.

If that had happened at my front door, he would have lost that foot.

I have never seen him want to kill someone so bad in my life. He helped him find is way back to his van.

They stopped at my place 2 days ago. I was outside, and he "snuck" up on me and scared the crap out of me. He didn't want to take no for an answer.

The meat isn't bad....just the promises stink

I've purchased from these guys twice....and actually the meat is pretty good. Just have to negotiate the price down. Now, on the other side......We had purchased a case of Alaskan King Crab Legs along with other products. Of course he didn't have the crab legs on the truck as they were "out of stock but will deliver them as soon as they come in". That was May 2012. I called in July...no crab legs...called again in Aug...no crab legs. Called again in Oct...no crab legs. Attempted to contact someone there in Nov.....no answer and then when I finally did reach someone...no call back. So I initiated a BBB complaint (Nov 2012)...wow....service! But wait.....I agreed to substitute the crab legs with a case "tailless Shrimp". The guy shows up with a variety of shrimp that was frozen into one big clump. Denied the delivery. Told him I wanted "good stuff"...he agreed and scheduled a delivery for the next week. They also closed the BBB complaint....Then...No delivery. I initiated another BBB complaint....then they scheduled another delivery for 5 days later....no show. Scheduled another delivery for one week later....no show. This went on until they finally delivered the shrimp just yesterday (Jan 31st). Moral of the story....if you buy the product...make sure it's on the truck and not thawed/frozen/thawed/frozen. Do NOT rely on them to deliver a product later. They will not do anything until a BBB complaint is filed.
