      On 4/18/2025 I purchased the 20 Ribeye steaks for $49.99 deal from a truck in *****************. I'm extremely disappointed with the quality of the steaks I received. The steaks were paper thin, tearing apart easily, slimy and did not resemble ribeye cuts or even BEEF at all. It was On top of that, the taste was unpleasant, and the meat did not seem fresh in the slightest. The way the steaks were packed made them appear thicker at the time of purchase, which felt misleading. Overall, the quality of this product was far below what was expected and advertised.I am requesting a full refund for this purchase. Please note that I do not want any replacement products or future offerings-l have no interest in receiving anything else from your company. I simply want a refund for this order due to the very poor quality and taste.

      Complaint: 23172075

      I am rejecting this response because: this business owner never reached out to me. I called him twice to let him know my meat smelled spoiled and some of my food way gray. The owner requested pictures in which I sent but he still hasnt gotten back to me. he was rude and said it came from the film of the package. Attached is how gray my meat was. Then on top of that, he takes days to response to text messages and he definitely doesnt return phone calls! I would like a refund of some sort!

      -I purchased a frozen chophouse box of meat from their truck located in ***********, ** on Aug. 15th for $384.02 and immediately put them in my deep freezer. They claim a guarantee.-I thawed and attempted to cook 2 different steak cuts on Aug 15th and Aug 16th. Both thawed and lost shape and appeared mushy and falling apart. Taste and texture when cooked were not like meat and it was not edible -August 19th i filled a complaint on their online form asking for a refund and received no confirmation of submission -Aug 19th sent email following up on form submission. Received response with phone number saying to contact general manager ****** directly. Call with no answer -August 22nd left message for ****** after no answer.-Emailed primehouse Aug 29th to follow up with no response from calls to ****** and response was to call him directly -Finally had ****** answer on Oct 23rd. He stated he would look into if something occurred with that specific batch as it's abnormal for them to get complaints. I requested a refund. Texted him pictures of the "filet" cut of meat thawed. He said he would call back and i have not heard back.

      Complaint: 22566140

      I am rejecting this response because:

       

      Hello,

       

      This is in regards to complaint ID ********. I was going back and forth with the business and forgot to respond within the 7 days. I heard from them and they asked for an address for who is requesting a refund without directly saying they would send a refund. I word it this way because I have yet to receive a refund and when reviewing communication with the business noted the wording choice as interesting and noncommittal. 

       

      So as of today I have not been satisfied with the businesses response and think it very shady they have a satisfaction guarantee when they avoid returning calls or addressing feedback directly to resolve problems.  I happen to have capacity, knowledge, and resources to be able to keep at this however feel for all of those individuals who don't and get scammed by this company. 

       

      I'm unsure if it matters for you as it's past the 7 days but wanted to update you as I am beyond frustrated with this company and their lack of professionalism.  

       

      Thank you for your time,

      EXTREMELY UNSATISFIED - My partner and I thought we were getting a great deal but shortly fell ill after consuming Prime House Direct. When thawed the meat has a film to it and looks rather sluggish. We spent $699 on this thinking we were getting actual good meat. I am very unhappy about this situation and request an immediate refund. This is unacceptable. I have also reached out to the ** *** numerous times but he has not answered. I would appreciate it of someone reached out to me directly via phone with the number provided on this case. I also would like to have the option to email my receipt to someone who can resolve this issue for me. I am at a lost for words, fell ill from this meat and tried to reach out to ** and no response. This is hard earned money, $699 is a lot of money to spend on something that makes you sick.
