As part of this ongoing blog we're going to post our reviews of the products and companies we've actually dealt with in our virgin efforts at preparing for potential diaster that might make it necessary to depend on ourselves for an extended lenght of time.
The first on the block is USA Emergency Supply.
We weren't directed to this site other than through the magic of Google. But the first thing that struck me is they have a professsionally done site. This doesn't necessarily mean anything more than they have the money to pay someone to do it but it's rarely a bad sign.
In digging through the site to a greater degree we found them to have all kinds of good information. They also list their drop shippers, they don't actually maintain stores of foods for instance, they just drop ship it to you from other vendors.
This isn't a bad thing per se and is a common mechanic that many companies use.
They do charge a small fee for this, the prices they show for everything they drop ship are marginally higher than what you'd be charged going directly to the end vendor.
What you're paying for is the one stop shop appeal and as USA ES takes paypal unlike some of their suppliers if that's your preferred payment method it might be worth it to you.
They had everything we needed in the way of food storage, food grade pails, lids including gamma lids which can be re-used/resealed and oxygen absorbers which are used to kill the little passengers that come along with all those grains.
In researching the company I found no bad reviews and no on with prices in the same ballpark. They also were noted for their discrete shipping, no "This is going to a prepper!" type markings on their boxes.
So far I've placed two orders with them, both were shipped quickly, next day in fact and I was sent both order confirmations and shipping detail emails quickly.
I have no faults with them and can recommend them for your food storage or acquisition needs without any hesitation.
