I just received my most recent order. I received hot dogs, pork chops, chicken, meatballs, hamburger patties, but I didn’t seem to get any steaks. I can buy the above at my local grocery for $50. Where is the value in this? I order a sample pack from Omaha Steaks but don’t get any steaks? I bought this subscription to do better on my keto diet. What do I do now? ***** ****** ************* ***** ****

Order number: ************ I made a transaction on Monday, April 15th with a promised delivery date of April 19th as we had 3 guests coming over for a feast that same night. 1-2 days passed and I never got any tracking email so I called them and they told me my order did not process and they never had sent me an email notification explaining why so I only knew because I had to take the initiative and call them. Then I had to be connected to another departement which I think was escalation and was interviewed uncomfortable questions like "how long have you lived there?" which was something very personal. Either way my order finally went through after all the hassles they put me through and because of their processing delay my order was scheduled for delivery on April 20th instead, in which I had to leave early out of town until Monday (April 22nd). I called and told them no one would be able to receive it and after several calls they agreed that the products would become stale and unsafe from consumption anymore, and they told me a request for a refund would be put through. I have been calling them back and forth yet they never really had put the refund through, which is concerning me. With all the "satisfaction guarantee" claims all over Omaha Steak's website, I believe I should have a peace of mind with this order, in which I did not and they had not provided a resolution to me, despite all the delays being caused by their lack of communication from the time I placed the order. I am just hoping the refund they promised would be honored immediately.Business Response

I saw a commercial for them. I called and placed an order about first of March. My order number is ************. I paid about $220 on my ******** card. (I have filed a dispute with ******** for $172). I ordered: four 10 oz NY strips - did not receive, 1 box grilled boneless chicken breasts but got 2 boxes, 1 box 4 boneless pork chops - did not receive, 1 8oz pkg fully cooked meatballs - did not receive, 1 box 4 oz potato au gratin - received, 1 box caramel apple tartlets - received, Omaha steak seasonings - received. I received but did not order one box hamburger patties, 1 lobster tail skewers. I called the 800 customer service number because they delivered it to the back door, rather than the front door which had to be thrown out. They sent a replacement box, which is described above. I don't want to talk to them. This was supposed to be our Easter dinner, and I had nothing to serve.Business Response

I placed an order on November 27, 2023: order ************* for $129.99 that consisted of 4(4oz) air chilled chicken breast, 1 (3oz) jar Omaha steak seasoning 2 (5oz) BWFM +2 (5oz)BC top sirloin 1 (18oz) package cooked beef, meatballs tartlets and scalloped potatoes 4 (3oz) of individual baguettes 4 (3oz) of gourmet jumbo franks This was to be delivered to my granddaughter in TX on November 29th. It was not received. I tracked the package which had it as received and a proof of delivery of someone’s shoes at a threshold. I contacted *** and they opened an investigation and said it was delivered based on the shoe picture. The picture was not my granddaughters place of residence. I contacted Omaha Steaks on December 14th via mail message and received a response via email on December 16th apologizing and asking that I contact them via phone. I called and was told they would send a one time replacement order which would be received by December 19th. After the call I did not receive any tracking information for the transaction so I sent another message on Dec 18th asking about the tracking information. I received another message with supposed tracking information for ***** which never appeared in their tracking system. Since I knew my granddaughter would not receive this by Christmas, I sent another message and asked that my monies be refunded. I received a phone call after this and was assured that this would be addressed. As of today Jan 25th 2024, I have not received a refund of my monies.Business Response

In the past several weeks I have received repeated and unsolicited daily emails from ******************************** with the subject "Happy Birthday! Your gift is waiting!", however it is nowhere near my birthday. I have repeatedly requested to unsubscribe from this asinine spam, yet I continue to receive them daily.

I received a 100 dollar gift certificate but when I tried to redeem it I could not get anything for 100 dollars when their shipping was included of 19 dollars. The other thing is that all of the items on the website make you have to be up sold to get anything which places the total greater than 100 dollars. This business is just a bait and switch endeavor.Business Response

I have been a loyal customer for many many years and spent probaly 10k plus on omahasteaks.com over the years. I bought a gift card online for omaha steaks through a third party. I went to use said gift card and entered a number wrong on the pin once. The omaha steaks website then said the card was now locked. I called omaha steaks to unlock it and they refused, saying its impossible for them to unlock a gift card. They said to contact the third party to unlock the gift card, which makes zero sense, the omaha steaks website is the one who locked it! I am now out 200 dollars for absolutely nothing. I will never buy anything from omaha steaks again, unless this is resolved.Business Response
