ButcherBox leaves no questions unanswered. Their sourcing page and FAQs clearly lay out their commitment to supporting fair labor conditions for farmworkers, humanely raised animals, and climate-smart farming practices. Their cattle are all 100% grass-fed and -finished, their pigs are all heritage breeds, their chickens always roam free, and their seafood is always wild-caught.
ButcherBox took all of the guesswork out of making the right choice. The only decisions I needed to make were which box I wanted -- all beef, beef & pork, beef & chicken, or a mix of all three; how much I wanted; and how often I wanted a new shipment. And if you’re looking for a little more say in the matter, they also give the option to build a Custom Box from their impressive selection of high quality beef, chicken, pork, and seafood.
When you’re dealing with highly perishable goods, time and logistics are of the essence. Once my order was placed, I immediately got an email from ButcherBox giving me a receipt of my order and an estimated date of arrival. Less than two days later I had received confirmation that my order shipped, which was filled with tracking information and FAQs about proper meat storage and thawing. Not 24 hours later, my ButcherBox arrived in all of its frozen, insulated, meaty glory. Now I know I’m a sucker for communication skills, but this really wooed me.
Subscription services can be tricky with hidden fees and fine print. ButcherBox realizes this and has set out to avoid such troubles altogether, while also continuing to meet your needs. If your paycheck is running late, you can change your billing date at anytime. As well, you can switch up what comes in your box at anytime. To top it all off, there's no cancellation penalty. You can always return back to your regular shipments whenever the time is right -- no hard feelings!
It's not just me that's a newfound fan of ButcherBox. People like Melissa Hartwig (co-founder of the Whole30 diet), Dr. Hyman (10-time #1 NYT bestseller), and Dr. David Perlmutter (a board certified neurologist) all agree that Butcher Box is something worthwhile. Sustainably sourced meat is not only better for your carbon footprint, but it's also much better for your health. And the professionals can agree with me on that one.
