On April 19th, 2024, my husband purchased 20 ribeyes for $40.00 at an event that was located at ******* in ***********. I want a refund. And here's why I'm demanding a refund in full. 1. The steak that you claim to be ribeye isn't at all ribeye steaks. 2. They're spoiled, and he came straight home and put into the freezer. I pulled 4 very thin "ribeye" steaks out the morning of April 22nd,24. They were placed on a plate and put into our refrigerator. When it was time to cook the so-called ribeyes, I opened, and it was spoiled, let alone it wasn't a ribeye. I opened another 1 and spoiled. They have more knowledge on how to rip people off and sell them what you call a certain piece of meat when, in reality, it's junk.My dad was a butcher, so I'm well aware of the proper cuts of meat. My husband reached out, and nothing has been done to fix this issue. Was told someone is calling him and nothing. I want a full refund. I received a call 4 days after I sent something, and this man claimed to be from the legal department of the organization, but he had no idea who it was to speak with or why he was calling. He went on to call me names as I called him a liar for claiming that they tried 6x to reach out. And the names weren't nice. I'm waiting for a refund. I'm now on day 3 of waiting.Business Response

I bought the ***** premium ribeye from the truck today at ***********************. I got home to realize meat was not what I was shown it was way thinner and very fatty. I cooked them up horrible slimy and tasted very bad. I threw them all out immediately. I cooked all 20 of the very thin steaks **** shot due to I have a large family of seven. Noone ate more then one bite before complaining they were gross. I would like a refund. I have emailed the company. Hopefully they respond. I can not afford to spend fifty dollars on meat for one meal just to throw them all away and make something different.Business Response

I personally handle any complaints,I haven't seen where
you have tryed contacting our company in this matter . Most people wouldn't use 20 steaks to figure out they didn't like them for some reason,they are shown to everyone, however if you will send your proof of purchase to me at ************ I will discuss a refund with you .thanks ******

Transaction date 9/27/23 Total amount $1298.95 PrimeHouse Direct ****************************************************** This was a promo frozen meat truck out side of a Tractor Supply. What I received was not what they portrayed in the flyer. The burgers were gray in color and the meat was extremely fatty. I spoke to a gentleman whose telephone number ************** was on the receipt. He couldnt help me so he directed me to ****** **************. He said he would only give me a $300 refund. I told him that was not acceptable being it states on the website that it is a 100% money back guarantee. He was extremely rude and told me at one point I was over charged and I didnt even receive the the box freezer. I would just like to get my money refunded to my account.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I live over and hour away one way plus the price of gas. It will be about a three hour trip plus a 1/4 tank of gas. I find this incredibly wrong when I originally spoke to ****** he stated that he was going to refund only $300 and for me to keep the product. Now its a different story. Now he wants me to drive and waste gas because all of a sudden he wants to return product back to vendor.
Sincerely,
***************************Business Response

The ****** offer was so you wouldn't have to make a trip,and I again asked that you return our product to the same location that you came to and purchased for a 100% refund by Saturday that gave you 3 days to return for a full refund.we are like any company,you must return something if your not happy for any reason for a full refund.im not sure why you wouldn't want to return it for a full refund.sorry you would not return it ,we try to make every happy and return for a refund is our policy.

We have reached out to prime house direct . The meat was slimy and smelled rancid. We have tried to communicate with them about getting the $660.00 we are owed for it back. He they are mobile locations they want use to drive it all the way to ****** to return it. The meeting cant be held in my refrigerator. 6 steaks already went into the trash since he wouldnt respond and my kids couldnt eat it for dinner. This is ridiculous. He is rude and will not work with people. We spoke with ****** and his phone number is ********** and havent gotten anywhere beside saying I shouldnt have thrown out the meat. We called and messaged the same day he didnt get back to use till a week later. I was supposed to keep slimy meat that stunk in my house for that long. This isnt right. I have reached out to friends about them and they have had similar experiences. The health department needs to know that they are selling bad meats and they need to be refunding people money.Business Response

I did speak to this customer today I was told of the situation and I asked for pictures of the product, and could he please return it along with our freezer for a full refund. He told me that he threw all the meat away and the freezer was being picked up by the Junk man tomorrow..and would not return anything unless we paid him 1000.00 to return it.where like any other company that you purchase something from, and not satisfied you have to return the product and we will gladly give him a refund. That is our refund policy. Our freezer was brand new in a box and still under warranty and all of our product are shipped to our sites fresh weekly. We try to ensure everyone satisfied. And I don't think that's asking too much to return our product and freezer for a refund.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: ****** and I did not speak. My phone number is **********. ****** needs to look at his phone records I called and left messages with everyone else and have not spoken with ******. It would be nice for him to know supple his record of speaking with me . I have proof we didnt communicate. I am a female and I find it very insulting that he is addressing me as a male as well.

And I would refund her.she refused to show us in a simple picture.she did send a video of one single piece of chicken out of cases of meat . She also said I had 8 hours to pick up the freezer or she was having the junk man pick up.i gave her a simple resolution of sending pictures of all of our product minus the 8 pieces of what she said she cooked and through out.and i will give her a full refund.Initial Complaint

We purchased ****** worth of beef and chicken. ****** tax our card was charged ******. Was told the. Sold grass fed, grass finished which we need due to health concerns was told chicken was organic ALL false advertising and lies. Nowhere on packaging is this indicated. We will legally pursue refund if not granted. Meat is gray, burgers white with fat, chicken not even 5 oz pieces. We specifically asked for grass fed. He first said no then presented a box said it was and now it has to go in trash. We want our money back and where to ship it at no cost to us or where to drop it off. So upset. We are on a fixed income. Military discount not granted to a retired veteran.Business Response

For 8 strip steaks it was advertised ***** but I was charged ***** and a processing fee that was not disclosed to me. The steaks were much smaller that what they show on ******** act only 4 oz when I weighed them. The taste was awful they had a bleach like taste and were grey in color. How can a product like this still be offered ? Maybe I just had a bad batch hopefully thats the case.Business Response
