Home Pride /Milk2You uses high pressure and misleading sales tactics to get customers locked into a long term contract.
2) The sales person, Mitch Lillie misrepresented the food as 1) cheaper than grocery stores 2) locally grown/raised products 3) of high quality. Our experience has been that the food is in fact many times more expensive than grocery stores, the meat products are from a company located in North Carolina. Generally, the quality is comparable to local grocery stores, if not a lower quality cut of meat or frozen produce.
3) Milk2You/ Home Pride Foods is unwilling to discuss cancellation of any contracts and instead Craig Fees tried to pressure me into another contract with them, even as he was walking out my front door.
4) The freezer was misrepresented as a high end commercial freezer that was frost free and not available through normal retail outlets. Upon delivery, the freezer is in actuality a Frigidaire commercial freezer which is available for ~$550 retail at Nebraska Furniture Mart. The freezer is not frost free and I now have some freezer burnt food that is inedible.
This is one of many "food company" fronts run by Jefferson Financial out of Norcross, Georgia. Look into internet searces on Jefferson Financial, Southern Foods, Service Foods, Blue Ribbon Foods and others. They all use the same business model of a long term food contract and "free" item such as the freezer (some companies have used grills and "high end" knife sets in the past).
Home Pride was based in Iowa from ~1998-2008 before finally being sued and run out of Iowa by the Attorney General's office. Wish Nebraska would do the same.
