Direct Fine Foods was established in 1997. They offer custom order meat delivery to customers in London and Ontario. Premium beef, pork, and chicken are shown on their website for products; but no specific products are found.

Total Bulk Order Including Delivery: $3290.00 - Very High Cost
Bulk Ordering Experience with Direct Fine Foods + Some Notes:
Direct Fine Foods does not advertise any pricing on their website. After our initial inquiry we received emails from 2 different customer service representatives. They insist on giving you a phone call before supplying you with an invoice. When attempting to call; no one picked up. Eventually through email, we received a total bulk with delivery price of $3290.00. No order sheet or pricing sheet was provided for the individual products. No prices are listed on their website.
Direct Fine Foods offers food financing to be put into payment installments for bulk meat ordering. This requires a credit check. Government Credit Score info link.
Advantages:
We liked the testimonials area appearing directly on the website including nearby customers in the Chatham, Ontario area.
Disadvantages:
Sourcing information is not found for specific farms or locations. Overall cost was difficult to obtain and was not transparent; products we wanted were not individually priced. Compared to other companies we reviewed, Direct Fine Foods is very high priced. Customer service was poor.
Meat Delivery London Overall Thoughts:
Direct Fine Foods placed #8 out of 10 companies we reviewed. Customer service was frustrating as 2 people replied to us, yet, price info was hard to get.
