Started the Stampede on Smalls, a subscription cat food.
1) I don't like subscriptions. I just want to order what I want, when I want.
2) Their Sampler is a discount price, but there are add-ons auto-selected, just like with Hungry Root.
3) The unskippable "donation" at the end. Uh, I am on SSI and feed several animals. Are you going to sponsor me?
BUT the vet suggested it may help his pretty severe digestive issues. What am I to do? He is my lead Pizza Inspector (even if he isn't a taste-tester.)
It finally arrived.
4/10 items are missing. Great start!
Ahhh giving me HungryRoot vibes already. They constantly sent wrong items, food that's gone bad or that goes bad in only a day or two, didn't send things...
and I do NOT have time to constantly inventory and pursue their customer service, THEN work for a discount (taking photos, writing full complaints, hoping they believe it, hoping they refund/resend...) THEN checking back to see if they DID the Thing they said they would.
In this case, Smalls is refunding the four unsent items. I'm not sure how much that actually is? 4 items normal price, or 4 items deeply-discounted Sampler price? CxServ doesn't say. The refund will arrive within 7 days, so I need to remember to check in 7 days to see if they did that.
I hate subscriptions.
Another reason to NEVER subscribe to ANYTHING if you don't have far more than needed on credit, which is the only way you should pay for anything online anyways. Your bank does not protect you. Check. Mine will dispute charges... for $35 each...
