    By the looks of things the delivery companies are pushed to the edge also. Agree with Huskee & kenrobin. Hope the meat was ok! ✌️

    I've noticed that some delivery companies have been better than others lately both in terms of delivering on-time & updating their tracking. I suspect that the delivery company is the entity that is making Creekstone appear clueless.

    My recent Creekstone order shipped via Fedex. For some stupid reason, the Fedex representative put my box behind my truck which was parked in front of my garage instead of leaving it on my front porch. The box had been sitting there overnight before I discovered it the next day when Fedex finally updated the tracking to show it as delivered. I was panicking because I couldn't find the box. Since we're sheltering in place, I haven't been going out through my garage as often so I was shocked when I discovered it there. Just sharing my experience because the delivery company might be more at fault for your problems than Creekstone.

    I am so very sorry that it has been such a long, ongoin process/fight fer ya....

    I've never had less than stellar results from Creekstone, but, I only live mebbe 150 mi. away.

    Distance don't really matter: If stuff's proper frozen, packed in some dry ice, shipped in a properly expeditious fashion, ain't no way in Hail it should git to yer house, spoiled, sez I.

    Ain't zackly Rocket Science, involved, to make this happen successsfully...

    Agreed. That Sucks. It shouldn't haveta be like this. AZ 100° this time of year is a no freakin brainer. Pack/ship accordingly, not 6 days transit, fer example.

    Sounds to me like the delivery company just happened to beat their automated email system to the punch, this is a good thing, no?

    So I got an email from creekstone a couple hours after I physically received the replacement order today. It said my order was out for delivery and was expected to be delivered tomorrow. They are absolutely clueless!

    If I could get prime short ribs for $5.99/lb around here I would never order meat online. The best I seem to find is CAB for $10/lb, so when Creekstone has a sale that essentially matches that price for prime, I'll go with them. Definitely not my regular supplier for meat, but I'll go with them (or someone else like Porter Road) when it makes sense.

    Well they actually showed up today. I've asked for a refund.

    Now my shipment is scheduled for Tuesday. If it actually arrives then that will be 6 days in transit. Doesn't look good.

    I just looked through the Creekstone Farms web site. Pretty pricey stuff! $10+ per pound for 85/15 ground beef? $13+ per pound for bone in beef chuck short ribs? Etc. etc. Is their meat really that much better? My local butcher shop has prime grade short ribs for $5.99 per pound!

    Short ribs. 2 sections of 4 bones each. I cut each one in half and vac sealed and put them in the freezer. I'll definitely be ordering from them again - these are far and away better than anything I have seen locally:

    Short ribs arrived. Still partially frozen. Thawed parts still below 40 degrees. In my freezer now, hopefully not for too long. They look good.
