I don’t order from them very often but, am always satisfied with shipping and the orders.

The product is good. But I’m disappointed in the shipping. Maybe it’s because of the pandemic or holiday season, but I think 15 days for a 1 oz package is a little much for something that is only an 9 hour drive away. And I even paid extra for first class mail. So much for having jerky for the last week of deer season. It would be nice if the website would give you an approximate delivery date when you order. My email delivery confirmation took 3 days.

I ordered a dozen items, so obviously I can’t write a review for each. And the fact that Sausage Maker doesn’t provide the ability to review the overall experience is indicative of how backward its website and online ordering system is, because catalog item numbers are often not to be found on the website, specific descriptions entered into ‘search’ usually can’t be found, and merchandise is often not found at all in the search. This company makes good products, but promptly shoots itself in the foot when a customer wants to buy from them. Their web service is strictly amateurish, and I wish it were otherwise because I ordered a lot of good products when they had a catalog company for distant customers. But then the founder died and it fell apart, in my opinion, as products were dropped and a website company was hired.
