I have been a fan of Creekstone Farms for a good while now. I typically have a few of their offerings in my freezer at any point, and I have never once been disappointed at what they've sent me. Well, I just ordered 2 of these deals to re-stcok. At nearly 50% off, it's a great deal. Get it while you can.

Creekstone also has prime brisket point on sale if you need something to add on for free shipping.
I have the BBQ pack and a coupe of points headed my way.

Damn it! I CANNOT stuff anything else in my freezers. And now they have a big sale.

Same here no room unless I throw out my wife's stuff like veggies and other stuff I don't like. 😏

[rickgregory]

Prime points.... sold out

[willxfmr]

Well that just sucks. I was really happy to see points instead of flats on sale for a change.

[Jfrosty27]

Also very bummed as I cannot fit another thing in the deep freeze. I gotta find a way! Maybe my son has some space? 🤞

[Draznnl]

Stop being bummed about lack of space folks. Prime Grilling Package is sold out. Be bummed about that instead.

[Jfrosty27]

Kind of a relief actually. 🤣

[Huskee]

They'd have 1 more if I hadn't hogged 2 of 'em!

[Draznnl]

Well shame on you Huskee

So I ordered 2 of these packs last Thursday, UPS 2-day air. I got a shipment notice the same day I ordered them. By my math even if it didn't ship until Fri, and weekends aren't counted, I should've gotten it Monday. But often they deliver on weekends and even Sundays.

This morning I got a shipment notice that it was out for delivery (at least 1 day late), yet it didn't come. UPS online now tells me tomorrow, Weds. Tomorrow makes 6 days, 4 business days since ordering.

The tri tips come fresh. So now I am a little worried that they may be >40F and the frozen meats may be thawed. It's not hot here now, but it was upper 80s last few days.

I realize this isn't Creekstone's fault, I have to trust their shipment notice and they've never done me wrong in the past. And while I hate to blame UPS (sorry ComfortablyNumb, you and a local buddy of mine work for them) here I am now potentially experiencing what many of you have- delayed delivery of temp & time-sensitive meat, with the potential problems of it being wasted. They're from Kansas so we can't really blame this on Ida, can we?

Tonight was going to be a fresh tri tip dinner, but instead, tacos. First world problems, right?

Sorry ran out of space.. Everything arrived frozen solid.

I ordered the same day you did, and also got a shipping conformation the next day. When I tracked the shipment thru UPS, It informed me that the label had been created, but the package itself had not shipped yet. So for those 3 or 4 days, my "shipment" was really nothing more than a label sitting on a bench somewhere. Mine turned into a "real" package today, and should be here Thursday.

[Huskee]

efincoop willxfmr Thanks! I
didn't get the no-ship Thurs/Fri notice, hence my worry. That makes his sense w/ the weekend thing though. You guys made me feel much better. (I still don't understand why I got a notice it was out for delivery this morning though... Odd.) Oh well, I shan't worry.

[rickgregory]

One reason I don't order from them. It is their fault in the sense that they decide to ship fresh and shipping fresh meat anytime but early in the week is just silly.

[Huskee]

Most of their stuff is frozen. This is the first time I've seen fresh even mentioned.

[rickgregory]

Hmmm I thought they were mostly fresh. That might change my thinking.. thanks.

[Huskee]

Porter Road is mostly fresh, Creekstone is typically frozen, aside from the tri tips in this particular pack

[Huskee]

So...I am one of those people now... the kind I get irritated at for not reading what's right in front of their face. Creekstone's website plainly states they don't ship Thurs-Sun. And I missed it. Now I fee like a dummy. The good news is I now can help some in the future who might miss this as I did.

The 'your package shipped' notice I got last Thursday and the [false] notice I got yesterday saying 'out for delivery' from UPS didn't help my confusion though. I like to think if it weren't for that I'd not have gotten worried too much when it was 'delayed'.

UPDATE: It all arrived today. Tri tips were frozen though, not fresh as described, and everything else was fine. Frozen but not rock hard frozen.

[efincoop]

Excellent. Glad everything worked out!
