Price:
Total Bulk Order Including Delivery: $2264.30 - Low Yearly Cost
Bulk Ordering:
Not many companies in London offer a better price for bulk ordering. Farm Club does. They don’t require any minimum order, but charge some delivery fees but delivery is entirely free as long as you purchase $999 or more.
Looking further into the website, we saw that Farm Club has "Club Packs"; more products packaged. We priced out a ClubPack only bulk order which would cost $1967.16/year for 200lbs of meat and fish.
Advantages:
Prices are clearly listed per box and per lb.
FarmClub offers “ClubPacks” that can reduce the cost significantly. It means more pieces are packaged. Their online meat shop is very user-friendly. Customer service responded quickly; friendly. They list the sourcing of their meats. The only negative we found was no phone number listed.
Meat Delivery London Overall Thoughts:
FarmClub Meats & Fish is the best meat delivery option from local farmers and wild seafood in London Ontario, in particular for bulk meat ordering. Transparent pricing, transparent sourcing, user-friendly website, and no minimum orders necessary. Customer service was fast and helpful through email.
