akdave and I had a good offline conversation about this. We are in the process of adding USPS to our available shipping options. While it is not complete, his feedback was great, and we are working on getting this moved along further. Our original plan was to add extra USPS options earlier this fall, but decided not to as we didn’t want to make a big change in our “busy season”. As we are getting into the first of the year and things will start slowing down, we will make more progress here, and hopefully in a month or so we will have a full implementation. We will get the order for akdave out, and he is going to be one of our guinea pigs on running a few USPS things through. Thanks akdave ! We are glad you spoke up and gave us some feedback, and we hope that it will be a much better and easier process for shipping for you and our other Alaska customers soon!

If anyone else has other feedback about Meatgistics or Walton’s, please, always feel free to share it. Everything doesn’t always have a quick and easy fix, but we do always appreciate hearing from our customers and we will always try to find ways to make the entire process for everyone easier!

Here is the national Pheasant Fest Banquet! This is incredible. We’ve been to a hundred+ of the local banquets, but the national is insane! Anyone who loves hunting birds, or even other wild game, you have to put the PF and QF national show on your list to visit someday. This week has been incredible!

This is the king of all dinners…!
Jonathon will not approve, but I love this!
My wife is working 3rd shift tonight, so I get to do what I want… And that means pizza! Cook a Totino’s on the Presto Pizzazz, and it is to die for. I love meat, but give me my pizza and I’ll crumble!

If anyone likes frozen pizza out there, upvote this post!!!

Haha! I totally forgot about that. I was going to post it, but forgot.

This is what I was talking about. I thought it was hilarious. Hopefully others find it amusing as well.

The radar from a storm overnight looked just like a cowboy ribeye to me!

I can get something figured out here. We just changed shipping software recently and can ship USPS now, but we have not turned it live for anything.
I’ll get it taken care of and update the website so you can place an order. I would give you a quote, but I don’t seem to find a cart for you at waltonsinc.com, but I may not be looking at the right user either. If you want, send me your email address you are logged in as on waltonsinc.com and I’ll make sure it is good to go.

Team Orange has fixed the emojis! We’ll see if Jonathon can figure out how to add a custom emoji tomorrow for Team Blue… I’m probably going to make him figure it out on his own, but we’ll see if I start to feel bad and help out.

In the meantime…

We were supposed to have ordered this a couple months ago. Something glitched in our system on this one item. We have it fixed though, and it should be on order today!

Tex_77
Jonathon should be careful about what he does. Even if he took my rights away, I have countless ways to backdoor my way back into the system. If I get a whiff of anything going on, I’ll be looking at you Tex_77!

Jonathon Tex_77 Who said that I was paying for dinner?

I got my wife a homemade, heart-shaped, double chocolate cheesecake for Valentine’s Day.



Jonathon can have a frozen Totinos pizza, on me, but he’ll have to cook it himself.

twilliams We are sending out a free replacement today. Our CSR team had no luck getting any additional info.
We’ll get things shipped out and then we will try to get a lost package claim filed with UPS and we’ll deal with whether they will accept it or not.
If you do end up getting the first package, let us know though.

twilliams Yes, we can put a trace on it and have UPS dig deeper.
I will look up the info, send it to Daren, our Customer Service Manager, and I’ll have them figure out what is going on.

Chef Jonathon I love chinese food too much. That won’t even stop me from eating it!

pr0wlunwoof Stuffed pork loin is the best! One of my favorite things to smoke. Those look delicious!

Chef While it might be possible, feasible may be another question. I’d have to buy a half to full container of them. We’d be talking about thousands of units. I will do some more research into it, and what might be possible, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up too high about it. If something did happen, it would take months for us to get something in stock for it.

Chef It is on it’s way to us right now. The container is about 2 weeks late, but based on current progress, I would expect to be in our possession by the 4th week of September. Current date from the freight company says Sept 21. It usually ends up a few days behind that date, but hopefully not more than a couple to a week.

twilliams We have it in stock now. It is not setup online yet though… Just waiting on Jonathon and his gang to get it setup online!

We also ship cheese in coolers with ice packs this time of year to help keep it colder longer.
It doesn’t have to be refrigerated 24/7, but being cold definitely increases the shelf-life exponentially.
If you get it and it is warm, you’ll be fine, just throw it back in the fridge or freezer.
Mold is really the only thing that will spoil our high temp cheese, so if you don’t have mold on it, you are good to go. If you get mold within a reasonable time frame, just call us up for a replacement.

Jonathon You are out of your mind! Tzatziki is amazing!!!
The Gyro Brats Jonathon made today were really good! I would definitely use a Tzatziki sauce on top next time and that would be killer!

Chef TexLaw
Not going to get in trouble with me. I’d prefer people speak their mind here and let us know their honest feedback. What we can or cannot do may vary at times depending on the requests, but it is always worth it to throw ideas out there and ask questions.
Everything from Excalibur is blended to use the “appropriate” level of salt in a product. Jerky, fresh sausage, cured sausage, ham/bacon cure and anything in-between has a different percentage of salt that is needed to make the seasoning perform and taste properly, plus make the meat perform and be a certain consistency. For example, fresh sausage usually has a lower salt content than cured sausage. Cured sausage needs more salt to help in protein extraction during mixing to achieve a proper binding of the protein, fat, water, and seasoning. The quickest and easiest way to change the salt content is to just use more or less of the seasoning, and if you need more flavor from spices, add your own extra specific spices. Like Jonathon said, if we did custom blends on it to remove the salt entirely, it would require a large quantity for a minimum, and the price would be quite a bit higher. The hard thing for us is that with as many different blends that we have, we cannot make a salt-free version of everything. It could be possible to do, but we’d have to pick and choose just a couple to start with and see what the demand was like. I would be worried that the demand would justify it for everyone. All of our blends at least don’t use MSG unless specifically stated. We made that change a long time ago. I really don’t know if creating a line of salt-free sausage seasonings would be feasible, unless there was a lot of users asking for it, or someone specifically wanting multiple cases of 1 seasoning at a time (not just 1 or 2 bags of it). We could potentially entertain doing something here, but I wouldn’t get hopes up too high for it.
