TBT says he thinks shipping is getting worse. In a race to cut costs, there seems to be less and less padding in the boxes. The last Petco delivery had only a little on one side of the box (which didnt have any benefit). Chewy adds a top on the individual cases, but they really need it on the bottom of the box. We usually get damage on the bottom cans. Would a single layer of bubble wrap on the bottom cost so much?
TBT has explained this to both shippers but they never change anny... He says he may have to shop locally again, but Petco and Petsmart dont allus have the stuff he wants and they are usually loose cans. He says that's a real pain because you can find 8 of one flavor but 60 of another, etc at Petco because they like loose cans. Petsmart likes whole cases, but half the time they just dont have the ones we like. Neither shipping nor shopping werks purrfectly.
Its seems there are 3 parts about getting our food. Selection, availability, and undamaged. The local stores never have damaged cans, but you never know what is available and there are some flavors we like they just dont carry. With shipping, there are damaged cans.
Another nice thing TBT does is keep 6 flavors. We 3 go through 5 cans a day, which keeps our weights purrfectly (Marley 12.5 lbs, Iza 10, and Ayla 6.5). And that means we start each day with a different flavor.
We LOVE that! Not that we exactly recall the previous days first breakfast, but me know it is a differnt one, and that matters. And we get a variety. There is a poultry, than a fishy, then a poultry, then a fishy, then a poultry, then a beef. And the order changes a bit each new pantry refill.
Hey, variety is good and we appreciate the effort...
What is your pantry like?
