Several posts got me interested in Porter Road meats, that and allsid ‘s discount post, so I’m giving them a try. Thru customer chat I asked what breed of pig they sold. Was told Berkshire/Duroc mix. Sounded good so I ordered two 8# pork butts, they threw in some free ground beef.
Price was ok but the discount (15%) made it a little more reasonable. What really surprised me was the shipping, only $10!! They asked if I wanted it by the 4th of July (it was the 1st) for $20, I said sure.
Well I’m home alone, family in Vegas (don’t ask whole different story) so I didn’t want it sitting in the 90* heat all day until I got home the afternoon of the 3rd.
Kind of forgot, then got a message it was delivered to my front door, crap ran home to retrieve it.
Kudos to to these guys, when I opened this huge box, it was lined with called foam. They had a card saying the cardboard box was recycled material and the foam could be burned as fuel or dissolved in your sink. Plus one.
Open the top and the entire top is completely covered with frozen gel packs still rock hard. Plus two.
Moved those away along with a bunch of paper, there are the butts fully frozen. Plus three.
Removed the butts and another full layer of frozen gel packs, rock hard. Plus four.
THIS is exactly why I stopped buying meat on line. They scrimp and they cut corners hoping things will get handled properly and a lot of times they don’t. Again kudos to these guys, they get it. If their meat is half as good as their packaging, I’m a customer for life !!!
