Da Bronx Bagels

Mimi NY — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 21:11:10 GMT

Yesterday on the Gourmet show Wednesday 8/24 decided for the first time to order the bagel combo for daughter, who was born in the Bronx but lives down South.Heard the owner say he will be making them fresh and will be shipping them out Monday Tuesday and Wednesday,just saw today one day later (Thursday) got email with tracking number and that they will be arriving on Saturday. Now wondering if they were already baked and just laying around. Don't say you will be baking them and shipping out early next week , still can't track number yet as they weren't picked up yet.

Don't even know if UPS delivers on Saturday in her area, know I don't ever get UPS on Saturday where I live.So then they will be laying in a HOT UPS truck over the weekend.

Hi ... I am on AD for these bagels. I got mine yesterday. I've always immediately put them in the freezer as soon as I get them, and when defrosted they've been delicious.

I am very fussy about my bagels. I now live in the northern burbs of Chicago and the bagels are very different from the ones I loved when I lived in NY and NJ, and when we go back to visit my sister.

If you are not happy, call QVC when you get them. Sometimes the tracking is misleading. I've had that happen to me previously.

@Mimi NY QVC tracking is mostly fictitious until it is fact. Don't start to track until the bagels have been picked up. If the bagels are not tip-top when they arrive, you can get a refund and don't have to send them back. A pain, but no money lost.

The only Q food I've ordered in the last 10 or more years were those bagels. I don't remember the shipping and tracking times, but I do remember unpacking and setting up to freeze them all. They were good for all of the months they lasted. If the peak of the hurricane season weren't just ahead, I would have ordered them again this week.

@nyc1 The bagels in Chicago are lame now. One of the few remaining bagel shops worthy of calling their concoction bagels is New York Bagel &Bialy in Skokie (they have another location in Lincolnwood and they supply a local deli in the northside inner city Andersonville neighborhood). The only downside is that they do not deliver, so you have to make a trip to the restaurant.

I live in northern VA, 10 minutes outside of DC . UPS delivers every day, even Sundays, where I live.

As for the bagels, I am born, raised, and lived through my marriage and divorce in the Bronx and Brooklyn. These bagels are the real deal. Worth every penny.

It's critical to freeze them once they arrive. Personally, I only eat half a bagel at a time. As soon as they arrive, I cut all of them lengthwise and wrap in cellophane separately, then freeze. It takes time to do them all, but so absolutely worth it.

I can then toast it in my air fryer on "toast" on any day, and it's like it was baked that morning.

@Mimi NY, I think that they get the labels ready as soon as the orders are put in but don't actually shipped and picked up until the next week. I have them on auto delivery. My last order, the label was generated on Sunday but not shipped until Tuesday.

@Mimi NY UPS delivers Saturdays in my area and will undoubtedly expedite a second day air delivery. Why are you so worried about something that hasnt happed. Your order is guaranteed.

When I heard Cliff saying he will be shipping them out Monday Tuesday or Wednesday thought perfect to surprise her with the bagels. But when email showed one day after placing order saying shipped. I was more so concern that they usually are not home over the weekend but are home during the weekdays. I did not know some areas have weekend UPS deliveries,would think more so for holiday time ,not year round.
Recently she mentioned there were bears sighted in her area ,could picture on her Ring camera them enjoying the bagels .
But did want to thank the ones who wrote back to explain that labels could had been made in advanced of being shipped out and hopefully that is the case and will go out Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.

@Mimi NY

I have ordered other bagels from QVC in the past. They were supposed to be shipped "overnight" but were shipped UPS ground. They arrived at the UPS hub on a Friday but not in time for delivery that day. I didn't get them until Monday. I felt I was paying too much for 3-4 day old bagels. If they could have been shipped earlier in the week, to avoid the Sat/Sun non- delivery days, I would have gotten fresher bagels.

@Tribesters

What made you think they were supposed to ship Overnight??

Did it say that on your order?

I have been buying for a long time and they are always sent ground.

They are not shipped frozen, there is no dry ice etc. so Overnight wouldn't be necessary really.

They are always shipped ambient....fresh not frozen.

You're right- not overnight. This was over 2 years ago that I ordered the Just Bagels from NY. I had to go back to check my order info. My mistake - the description said they would ship 2nd Day Air (not overnight). But they shipped UPS ground & I got them 5 days later. The label was created on a Monday & my original EDD was Wednesday. UPS got them on Wednesday & my EDD changed to Friday. I received them late Monday evening. They weren't moldy but they weren't very fresh.

I had them on auto delivery but same thing happened with my next order. Sitting at UPS over the weekend delayed them by 2 days. They should ship them early in week to avoid them being in transit over the weekend.

I order bagels on line from Utopia Bagels in Whitestone, Queens. I get them in 2 days; currently free shipping. They are simply wonderful; best bagels I've had in decades. If you have concerns about the Q's bagel vendor, you might want to give Utopia Bagels a try.

As for "Da Bronx" bagels. I did a search. It appears that they are another name for "Just Bagels". It could be that your order through the Q has the vendor creating the shipping order for UPS immediately. Don't know if UPS works on Saturday.

@Trix "Lame" is kind! Thanks for the suggestion. My husband is a Chicago boy and we've had bagels from there, which were fine. There are a couple of other places that are acceptable as well.... but, still not the same. Going to see my sister soon and can't wait to tear apart a delicious crusty chewy NY bagel. SO GOOD.

That's a shame @Tribesters

Mine were just shipped today and almost always on a Monday. They are in the Bronx and I am on the total opposite end of the state....but they have always made it quick and very fresh.

I know certain vendors have a mapping grid for ground vs 2nd day.

For example: I am in the Buffalo area....quite far from Rastelli in NJ. But 'NY' and neighboring states to NJ are considered ground.

I'm not far enuf for 2nd day in their opinion. I disagree! NY is a huge state and you are really taking a chance w/ just dry ice and ground shipping.

2x, I have had to get credit for totally defrosted and warm meat deliveries.

UPS fault for always delaying shipments that are clearly marked PERISHABLE FOOD

And Rastelli's fault for sending expensive food ground over 7.5 hrs away.

@Caaareful Shopper do you freeze them in the bag they come in or something else? I have never ordered these but want to try the plain/cinnamon raisin combo.

@DJs mom I freeze each half individually in cellophane wrap, then place them in my freezer. I personally don't keep the bag they come in. But, after you wrap them individually, I guess you could then place them back into the bag they came in. That's a good idea!

I don't have that kind of space in my regular freezer to place a whole bag of bagels. But wrapped individually, I can find a place for all of them between everything else in there.
