Bulkfoods.com

Having some difficulty finding bulk grains locally, I opted to give Bulk Foods a go. Initially I was a bit put off by the higher cost (and shipping) but wanted to explore them as a useable option for my needs. My first order was for their 8 & 12 grain cereals as well as packages of their raisins and dried cherries.
First the cereal - hugely disappointed, expecting more rolled grains both bags were heavily ladened with hard mullet and other bird seed like products :(. The 12 grain was closer in content to my local bird food store - relatively unusable (tried it but just could not do a 2nd go, offered it to the local birds and they passed as well). So the overall recommendation on the cereals - a firm no go.
Secondly the dried fruit - a good product all in all, no major complaints.
At the end of the day the higher cost of the products coupled with the out of pocket for shipping (not to mention the below average cereal) made my experience a one off and one not to be repeated.

While thier prices are good thier c/s sucks. If you have a problem you are sol. I probably should weigh the food I get as one person suggested.

Just grabbed the bulk foods bag of cashews off the shelf because I didn't feel like eating meat today. Got home, craved something to munch on so I opened up the cashews. As I was eating then i stared ready the bag. I noticed there were imported from places like Vietnam and india from which I'm aware they add a lot of illegal chemicals to their produce. I then went straight to the bulkfoods website and couldn't find much info on their products so I started reading things like the terms and conditions. I actually says this ( on the small print on the website) " THESE PRODUCTS CONTAIN CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS AND REPRODUCTIVE HARM"

What the f*%k

While reading this I started feeling unwell and abit itchy. I guess bulkfoods just cares about money and not real food products from which it advertises. Stay aware people research definitely pays off.

I bought 5 lbs. of pumpkin seeds from this company as a first-time buyer, because they had the BEST price! But, I understand why their prices are so great, because what you buy doesn't weigh what it is supposed to weigh. Upon receipt, I weighed the plastic bag they came in and it weighed only 4 lbs., including the packaging---a whole pound SHORT or 20% less than what I thought I was buying---a huge difference! I wrote to the company but have not yet received a reply. If you order from them, be sure to weigh your order when you get it. You will probably be surprised.

I have ordered from this company for years. Recently they made a shipment error (sent me hard wheat instead of buckwheat). They have not even bothered to respond to my emails requesting a correction or credit. They have great prices, but order at your own risk. I will not use them again.

They finally refunded the amount for the meat tenderizer but nothing for shipping, which was $8.40.
