Adelfio’s Choice

Pacific Prime. DBA Adelfio’s Choice. Do not purchase from these crooks! They are scam artists that go door-​to-​door trying to rip you off! If the deal seems too good to be true. it is!
I have heard so many horror stories and these guys came to my house and when I told them I wasn’t interested, the guy left in a huff. Then a few minutes later, I was hit up by another guy and told him the same thing and he became hostile and aggressive. He demanded to know WHY I would not purchase meat being sold out of the back of his smashed up truck. when I asked to see his health permits and resale license, he left in a hurry, cursing me under he breath.
It seems they are FRIENDLY if you are purchasing and once you make it clear you are not interested. they become unfriendly fast. Don’t encourage this type of business. Please buy from legit food service professionals and just say NO to curbside scam artists.

It seem very obvious that this is the same business I just posted a very horrible review of here:
It operates from the same address. Definitely a shady business, and I feel horribly misled and ripped off. Poor /​rotten fish for a very high price — against my better judgement of course. I was told there was a guarantee… seems that was not true either.
The guy that sold to us went by Robert.

UNSOLICITED RESIDENTIAL DOOR TO DOOR MEAT SALES?
Judging from their very poorly designed website «these guys» are one guy, and his portfolio suggests he got his start hardselling door to door. Hey, I fell for a cydcor dream once at a low point, but snapped out of it after a month. either way, I respect the hustle. What I don’t respect is this guy looking like a poorly dressed drunk ringing and running, then doubling back when people answer. His presentation technique is poor, and I feel bad for him. Not bad for him enough to buy MEAT from an UNSOLICITED STRANGER WHO KNOCKED ON MY DOOR AT 2 in the afternoon.
Get it together Adelfio.
This dude is a bum with a cooler mounted to his truck.
Don’t Bother!

Super bummed that we purchased from this company. I really hope that no one else knocks on our door to try to sell something! The packaging looks very enticing. First we «tried» to eat the halibut. The fish was frozen in so much water that it was half the size. Needless to say we got ripped off and we threw away all of the fish/​meat.

yes I did buy some meat from these people… for one thing, they would not get off my property… I did purchase $ 120.00 of meat from them. The meat was good (I am lucky)…but after the other complaints on Unilocal I cannot give these people any good reference’s…They were a little shady… I would not do that again… get a clue adelfio’s…

I decided to give it a try… They showed up at our front door right after we bought a BIg Green Egg [Homer sounds, please!]
It was expensive, but I figured lets give it a shot. My wife and I payed a much higher price… in the bathroom all night after trying the file minion.
I was persistent and did get a full refund and a heartfelt apology. Still though, stay away!

Last week, a salesman came by the house to sell some products. I must clarify that I wasn’t the one who was being persuaded into buying the products, but I was super hesitant to be the one who has to eat it! Okay. I know I don’t HAVE to eat it but I didn’t feel comfortable with ANYONE eating meat from some random guy who shows up with boxes of meat at your door.
When I saw that the boxes of meat were just sitting directly on the ground, I felt I had to stop the transaction. I didn’t want to be rude and interrupt the sales pitch, so after a sneaky phone call was made, the meat was returned.
I don’t care how well you seal the meat (which obviously isn’t that well according to Jennifer M.‘s review), I don’t want my meat or its container having direct contact with the ground. It wasn’t like it was there for just a second. The meat sat there while the pitch was being made. Can you imagine how many times the boxes have been set on the ground during a sales pitch?
Their website says their seals keep out the bad stuff, but they shouldn’t put it to the test by putting it on the dirty ground!

Aldelfio’s Choice is a home delivery meat, poultry and seafood business.
I have not tried their products, but I was visited by one of their sales persons at my home. They are very friendly.
I was able to get a product list from the representative. But it did not specify exactly how much a customer is buying. A «case» of various beef cuts is $ 414. Hmm.
By visiting their on-​line site, I was able to calculate that a case of beef weighs 25 pounds. The web site lists the number and cuts of beef that are included and how much each piece of beef weighs. Also, the price for all the portions of that cut of meat in a case.
By using some simple math skills I discovered:
Ribeye steaks (10 oz. each) are nearly $ 13.00 per pound.
Hamburger patties (5.3 oz each) are $ 8.21 per pound.
This may be great for consumers who do not want to visit a supermarket or Costco, but the prices are pretty high.
Also, you must purchase a full case of each product. So if you cannot store 25 lbs of beef in your freezer you’ll have to eat fast.
Aldelfio’s Choice web site claims they will give you a free small chest freezer if you agree to purchase at least 5 cases (125 lbs) of product.

I purchased a box of salmon and was very disappointed. The sizes of the salmon in the individual packages were inconsistent. This leads me to question the advertised weight of the portions. Our packages were all sealed propertly, which allowed us to see the large amount of water in the package after we defrosted the fish. We noticed two issue after we cooked the fish. First, the texture was mushy and soft, not flakey at all. Second, the fish was very salty, which leads me to believe that they were soaked/​injected with saline solution.

Against my better judgement, I purchased a case of steaks from a salesman for Adelfio’s Choice Meats. I paid $ 350 for a case of steaks and a case of chicken. I was assured complete satisfaction by the salesman. Needless to say, the steaks were average, deffinetly not the quality one wood expect considering the price I paid.
I contacted the owner of Adelfio’s Choice and he seemed to be very concerned with making sure that I was satisfied with my steaks, he assured me that he would replace my order free of charge within the next few days. At this point it has been three months and quite frankly I am very disapointed with Adelfio’s Choice. Too bad, because I really was hoping for a good outcome, but I guess I learned a $ 350 lesson not to purchase anything from door to door salemen, especially not steaks.
