    PapaSop How come your box look so good, mine are always smashed and the tape broken. We’ll see what my box looks like on Tuesday after seven days on the road from Wichita. UPS doesn’t do well, but I see it coming SurePost via UPS so they will blame any damage on the Postal Service despite being handled by them all the way to the Post Office.

          Absolutely. Still like opening packages. Even when you know what’s coming.

              Great knife. Just glad to start using it. Surely didn’t want it to get damaged.

Its like they intentionally drop kicked it. The box without the Fragile label came in pretty good shape. Go figure.20211104_182304.jpg

                      GWG8541 I think some of the drivers think Fragile is Italian. Looks like they could figure which end was up either from the tag because it looks like it was sitting on the ends.

                              calldoctoday More than likely the one unloading and loading the trailers. UPS pushes them to get them done on a schedule and stuff as much in a trailer as they can get even if the trailer is overweight.

                                  Pulled the trigger today. Asked if they’d do better on price if I took the whole side. Yep. From $4.49 to $3.99. Never hurts to ask.
                                  I’ll consider this a win win with the prices now.
                                  Besides, I really want to try this. 👍undefinedundefined.

                                      Dr_Pain lost two of the 3 jams I ordered. I let Walton’s customer service know via their email. I checked my emails a few minutes later and had a new order email pop up to replace.the two jars. Talk about great customer service.

                                      That is incredible!! Gotta love Waltons for their customer service

                                        I finished up my first dry rub bacon tonight. I used Walton’s dry rub bacon cure and followed the directions on the site. I gave mine one extra soak after reading some comments about being too salty. I did add some Walton’s course black pepper to about 2/3 of the belly before smoking. Everything turned out fantastic. I had to sample a little before vacuum packing and it was great. It is a little time consuming, but worth it.

                                          Pulled the trigger today. Asked if they’d do better on price if I took the whole side. Yep. From $4.49 to $3.99. Never hurts to ask.
                                          I’ll consider this a win win with the prices now.
                                          Besides, I really want to try this. 👍undefinedundefined.

                                          That is a great price and looks like some nice bellies. Making bacon is easy, it’s the waiting that is difficult. I almost always make two bellies, cut them in half and make four varieties. Good luck. You can dooit!!!
