Good product -- but don't buy in an emergency. With the COVID-19 pandemic developing, everyone bought more emergency supplies. That said, they should not have been advertising "specials" as though t... See more

Great selection of products

Great selection of products. Very reasonable prices. Only 4 stars because of shipping (cost and speed). In a post Amazon prime world, most consumers are accustomed to fast and free shipping.

On top of offering a great product

On top of offering a great product, they have wonderful customer service. For example, they are unable to ship quickly at the moment due to high demand, but they still send you an e-mail letting you know that your order is in queue and hasn't been forgotten. I have ordered from other places before, and I am lucky that i am notified when the items ships. I'm not left in the dark wondering what is going on with my order.

No notice of a 2 month delivery…

No notice of a 2 month delivery timeframe. No response to my email request to cancel. $1k down the drain?

Thanks for your message. Our website clearly states the delay in ship times. Due to the unforseen circumstances, even though those items are in stock, we still have orders that need to be shipped before they can get to yours. Please feel free to call us anytime if you have any questions.

Not prepared!

I placed my order on 2/21/20 and as of 3/9/20 it is still processing. I ordered cause they had a sale going on and I wanted to finally try some of their products. But nothing so far. So obviously for a company that claims to be prepared and have emergency essentials, they are not prepared themselves. I guess i will wait cause I really want to try the products. Just a little disappointed. Oh I know there is all the hype about the corona virus and all, but itsnt that what your company claims to be prepared for.

Why did they do that to me?

They showed products in stock, but evidently they lied. Now they say it May be up to 2 months before they ship. They have my payment. Now I’m wondering if I will get anything or everything I ordered. Pretty sorry service.
I used to recommend them. Now I would not!

it’s not an emergency yet...

Well it’s not really emergency essentials fault, but I ordered stuff that was in stock. I have been looking out for it to be shipped. Tried to check on the website. Over a week later I received an email that it will be shipped sometime someday. I know stuff is crazy now , but seems like the time it takes to read any of this, my order could have been shipped. I don’t know if it will be two more weeks or months.

We regret giving EMERGENCY ESSENTIALS a one star. The items we ordered were "in stock" when we bought them. Now we received a letter from them stating we have to waitv up to two months to receive our order.

I got everything I ordered but filling…

I got everything I ordered but filling the order and actually shipping it took a week even when they stated the items were in stock. a little more communication would have been nice besides being told that my order was being processed. I will use them again because of their pricing and selection I just know now that it will take a bit to get here.

I just received my order of Auguson Farms simple solution food supply and tried the roasted red pepper soup. It's good. Not grainy like some are. But I was thinking that it would also make a great base for a vegetable soup.
Well done.
