Oh man, that's terrible. My cans always come dented from Amazon, but never busted open. Have you ever tried Amazon, Chewy, Walmart, Target? Those are the ones I order canned cat food cases from.
I had this happen 2x in BJ's. First time, me and my sister bought a bunch of Friskies cases, she rushed and didn't throughly check the cases. There was a little smell but we thought it was something else. When we got home we found out that one of the cases had busted and opened cans in it and ....... there were live maggots in it. EEEEEEEWWWWW !!! The second time this happened the maggots were dead. Seriously, the delivery and warehouse workers can be very rough with the cases. I now try to buy a load of individual cans on sale. These situations have turned me off to cases of cat food. YUCK!!!Well. I tried ordering again. The first problem was overcharging for shipping! $164.00 over! A nice rep removed that for me on my second call. Thank you Eton! Of the thousands of reps, he could not believe that I happened to get him and remember him from once before. I remembered because he has a Siamese and other cats, we talked of orchids and Bonsai and I invited him to join us here. I also remembered what country he lives in. I invited him again to join us here and I hope he is reading here! Very nice person and a cat lover! We’ll see if the charge was removed. Hoping! Two days on the phone so far.
The first part of my order arrived okay.
Then I got a notice that is spite of everything being in stock when I ordered, I would not get all I ordered as it is now out of stock. Cat food. Of course! Of the 25 I would get 23 cases. Another phone call. The charge for those two is not supposed to appear on my account.
Then I got the second part of my order. 21 cases. Missing two cases! Also..., Uh oh. The boxes look a bit squished. Better check the contents.

Nooooooo. All but two cases were broken open and cans had burst.

When I opened the boxes, cans poured out of some and smell as well. Four cases worth of opened cans is what I have found so far. 192 cans and I haven’t reboxed everything yet. My trash can runneth over!
Another day on the phone! Where is the rest of my order. “It will be there later today. Nope! What about the crushed stuff. We will ship replacements. Okay. Waiting. Four days of phone calls, a stinky mess and a lot of money. Still hoping it will come out okay. I will be carrying another 23 cases through my drive, into the house and unloading them AFTER I finish cleaning up this and re packaging all but two cases. What if the next shipment is like this one? Those Fed ex guys have got to stop playing trampoline on these boxes. Lol I think it was a lot easier transporting all this myself in the long run! If I am not on site tomorrow, it’s because I am carrying cat food or on the phone! They did extend my free shipping membership for three months to compensate. (I will believe it when I can verify it.) Oh yeah, they tell me that bulk orders no longer get free shipping and cat litter doesn’t qualify either. I guess I could place a small order every day. No litter. I’ll be making calls again tomorrow.
I ordered a ten foot ladder from someone today. I’ll be going to pick that up myself,
I really think the issue here may be FedEx. I lucked out. My driver (in my tiny town, I know what driver I'll have) is wonderful, and even brings heavy boxes in and puts them in the room where my pantry storage is. And, Jcatbird , you REALLY need to make a formal complaint with FedEx!Oh man, that's terrible. My cans always come dented from Amazon, but never busted open. Have you ever tried Amazon, Chewy, Walmart, Target? Those are the ones I order canned cat food cases from.
Works with humans too.Maybe if I left a nice box of treats or something they would be more careful? That works with the kitties!
That happens around here too. You put something out for garbage pickup, and there's a good chance someone will grab it before the garbage truck goes by.I often put stuff out that is good but I no longer use and it always gets picked up. I was moving a refrigerator out of the trailer once to go to recycling. It was by the drive while we put the new one in place. In just a few minutes, the old one had already vanished! Rapid recycling!
I loved this deer.That video is wonderful! I know of a couple of places like that but nothing so beautifully done! It’s well planned and obviously works well. My what a variety of creatures passing over! I thought it was interesting how many looked right at the camera. There’s a Banjo type in every bunch!
Whistle, sweetie, you've got the right of itI am thankful today too. I guess that’s the story I need to tell. Being thankful for what we have, what we are and that we don’t always need to worry about the scary stuff.
No need to reply, just know I'm thinking of you, and sending positive thoughts and vibes your way.I may not be on later. So sorry folks. Please carry on if I am not here. Lots of prayers please.
They keep sending me emails about all their tasty new products! Spicy relish, salsa, chutney. Leaves me drooling.from that fruit company that you know about
You won't use the dented cans? I have to use them since they all come that way.I told them I would donate the crushed but good cans after I check them over.
Yeah, you get free shipping at $35 at Target & Walmart, $25 at Amazon, $50 at Chewy. Try placing smaller orders as a test. You won't be out anything since shipping is free.From now on I am going to order smaller shipments to see if that helps
What are you going to do with all the busted cans? Dad actually wanted to know, so he's the nosey one, not me.I am repacking boxes and taping them shut before stacking them in the storage space.
Hmmm....Are you talking about Whistle or Me here? Metaphor or Simile?Whistle isn’t often featured. He is a shy but absolutely adorable and loving kitty. He is as smart as his sister Banjo and a true survivor. He is just a little timid with certain things.
So be thankful, be yourself, and don't worry so much. Got it. Thanks Wise Whistle.I guess that’s the story I need to tell. Being thankful for what we have, what we are and that we don’t always need to worry about the scary stuff.
That is a lovely little heater you got there. Wish I was there to use it! I could use some warmth.I never did figure out how to plug it in but it’s a great little heater. It Whistles too!
I'm not sure (and I'm not trying to answer for jcatbird ), but I think this response and action was included as part of the complaint to the company, possibly.You won't use the dented cans? I have to use them since they all come that way.
I don’t really see three control settings though. Lol Head, ears and chin?
