Schwan's Food : Does Anyone Order From This Company

Wondering if anyone orders from this company. We started ordering a few months ago and have enjoyed everything we've tried so far.

Nope.

I remember when they made sooo many folks terribly ill with their tainted ice cream - salmonella, I think.

And when my dh died, my co-workers gave me a $250 credit for that outfit, but the old geezer who worked my area "couldn't ever read the card numbers", bottom line: he never would honor that purchase.

NEVER will use 'em.

I did years ago. I looked into delivery here a couple of weeks ago, but their prices have soared and now they also have a delivery charge. I really don't eat many frozen items even from the grocery store. The portions are also very small.

yes, i get items every two weeks. love many of their products and their customer service is awesome. if you are a new customer i think there is a coupon code available if you order online for the first time. i never feel pressured to buy anything and they have started doing a lot more coupon codes either online or at the door. they also have a reward program that gets you free food as you accumulate points by ordering online.

abby, there is very little we DONT like of the things we try and they do have a 100% guarantee. if you ever dont like anything the driver will give you a credit for that purchase. if you have some left out of the box he will take them back, but even if you have eaten the entire item they will STILL take it off of your order.

Re: Schwan's Food : Does Anyone Order From This Company

I did years ago and liked everything but it is a little pricey. That being said they also have items that I am not able to find at my local stores so it evened out for me and didn't mind so much paying a bit more. The only reason I stopped buying is because the delivery guy or the company kept changing the day of the week and times they would show up. First it was Monday evening at 5:30, then it would get later and then maybe not show up at all, then it was changed to another evening, then it was on a Saturday ..... It was a pain. The driver kept trying to talk me into putting out an ice chest on our front porch for him to leave the food in!! But I live in the country and there are many critters who would take advantage-and I couldn't blame them.

I would like to purchase from them, but it would not be feasible. Most items sold are in large quantities, and our freezer is just too small. Because there is just the two of us, I do not think we would go through the items quickly enough to make room in our freezer before the next delivery.

Yes, I order every 2 weeks. I love their food and their service. Remember, some people will never be satisfied with anything, they complain about everything. I would highly recommend Schwan's. They do have a 100% money back guarantee.

Schwans did refund me for some item, so long ago I don't remember what it was. Their customer service is great. I've also received "free" food for accumulating points.

I prefer their pot stickers over what Costco sells.

Re: Schwan's Food : Does Anyone Order From This Company

I have had a few of their products (I didn't purchase, but tasted elsewhere) and while they are good, just way too expensive for me to consider. I do think it is a great service to have food delivered to your door if you need that. We live in a community heavily populated with Amish, and even they have the truck stop once in awhile. I'm guessing it is to get ice cream, as they find that quite a treat, but cannot keep it for very long because of no electric.

One thing that irritates me is that they take EBT. Unless you are disabled, and cannot get out to shop, this is, in my opinion a real abuse of the food stamp program, as that money could go much further spent at a grocery store. But I'm sure I'll get slammed for thinking people who are given free food money should be required to use it wisely.
