Looked into meat delivery a while back. Live in Windsor area. Came across a few companies. One advertised heavily was Nutrafarms but after reading many bad reviews I was turned off. Prices are nowhere to be found and it was impossible to get a detailed price list.
Another one advertised heavily was A Cut Above Meats from London Ontario.
I emailed the company, they emailed me back with a consumption checklist but I asked for a price of a set order with set amounts of lbs per product. Made it very easy for them to price quote me.
A sales rep by the name Al Marcovecchio quoted me $2450 for the full order on January 11 2021. After this he kept emailing me unsolicited with new price quotes, some within the time span of 1 day.
A total of 5 new price quote for the same product. A total of $1050 price increase in less than 2 months.
January 11 2021: $2450
January 18 2021: $2600
January 19 2021: $2700
January 24 2021: $2800
February 19 2021: $3300
March 1 2021: $3500
I'm totally turned off by this company. First of all the original quote seemed extremely over priced, and on top of that price gouging during a global pandemic. I think it's totally disgusting.
Does anyone else has this experience with A Cut Above Meats?
Shawn from Farmway Foods is running this company with a guy named Al. They are scammers from the door-to-door era. Cannot trust people who will say anything to get money in their pockets. A cut Above meat screwed my friend over who ended up paying double the price of Costco for mediocre meat. A cut above meats buys their meat from any other meat vendor in the province, it's all the same. Save your money and go to Costco or buy quality at a local butcher. Don't make scammers rich.
Bought from a Cut above meats 2 years in a row to find out I was over charged by $2000. Do the research and compare online. The sales rep El is a smooth talker but has unethical marketing practices. Checkout Ottawa Valley Meats or Farm Club Meats, they both deliver to Toronto and will save you big time. Also A Cut Above Meats chicken was always tough.
A Cut Above Meats is Nutrafarms 2.0
I agree. Same tactics. Same people. Not worth it.
A Cut Above Meats is not worth it. Same with Nutrafarms. Makes me think A Cut Above Meats and Nutrafarms must be the same owner, same type of price secrets.
Used A Cut Above Meats for 2 years in a row. Quality was good, but service could be a lot better and their prices are indeed a scam. They missed products in my last order which was delivered 2 years ago and never delivered them. The owner himself even promised it to me and but never reached out for delivery or returned my messages.
I now buy from a local farmer in my area and a local fish shop. Products are superior and I'm only paying 60% of price compared to A Cut Above. Anyone living in GTA I would recommend the following farms for beef. They will save you a lot of money it's as local as it gets and straight from the farm!
Whispering Meadows
https://www.whisperingmeadows.ca/ Certified organic and straight from the farm
Wilderness Ranch
www.grassfedmeatsontario.com Straight from the farm and delivered
Farmer Jim:
https://www.grassfedbeefontario.com/ From Kitchener area but delivers to GTA. Jim is the farmer himself and will even show you around on his farm!
For Fish:
Farm Club Meats
https://www.farmclubmeats.ca/ They have a big variety of fish, prices are displayed and also offer meat. No big minimum orders. Meat prices are good as well.
Saw their ads online. Their bulk order program is not worth it. Owner is a tough to deal with, would not give me any prices until I completed a questionnaire. This company looks like another Nutrafarms scam.
