Omaha Steaks Delivers Great Food
Omaha Steaks
Ordering perishable food online may seem unusual. Ordering chicken, hotdogs and deserts from a place with the word steak in its name may be doubly so. After all, this isn't a song downloaded from iTunes or a gadget picked up on eBay. This is food that you're supposed to cover, keep chilled, cook thoroughly and so on. Food can effectively be sold online. Amazon does a great job selling Costco-sized lots of grocery items, while tens of thousands of online specialty stores offer "shelf stable" food for every imaginable taste. But those stores are not shipping slabs of meat through the nation's transportation systems.
I am glad Omaha Steaks solved the logistics problem. Food is shipped in a sturdy but disposable chest with dry ice and arrives fresh at the delivery address. Having used Omaha Steaks once for a large gift order and twice for large home orders, ("The food is really good," the gift recipient told us), I am very pleased with their service and quality.
With fuel costs rising, ordering food online, especially on sale, may even be cost-effective. More than once, my wife and I totalled up the per pound or person cost at Omaha Steaks versus our local grocery store and bought online.
Omaha Steaks' site is user-friendly and easy to navigate. Just like buying clothes online, you may miss the tactile sensation that aids your buying process so you will have to accept quality as a given. Quality has never been an issue here with anyone I've spoken with or any item I've received. You will also get offers for future specials, some unadvertised and some for local stores if you live near one.
We have purchased steak, chicken, hot dogs and deserts from Omaha Steaks. Everything has tasted good, been delivered in a timely fashion and been of high quality. This isn't health food, but if you want a good cut of meat and don't feel like going to a restaurant or grocery store, Omaha Steaks is a good place to shop.
