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.
You paid ahead of time for something they didn't have?

Have never bought from them and after yesterday will never try them. Almost got hit by one of their vans and i had the right of way and the dumb s.o.b. acted like he didn't do anything wrong it was almost like he was oblivious there was a car by him. Rant Over.
