The hams and other items sold by Hamlovers do not disappoint. It's the shipping which is a huge let down. I got an email from Hamlovers stating that delivery in time for Dec 24 still available. I placed an order only to be told my ham and other items would arrive Dec 27. I emailed and after a few back and forth, agreed to pay $150 for expedited shipping for the ham and chorizo needed for our Xmas day paella to arrive on Dec 24. It's now Dec 29th and we have received nothing. If you order from this company, you must order early. I do all of my Xmas ordering online and this is the only item that did not arrive on item. We now have a large jamon arriving and no guest with whom to share it -- if it ever arrives. Super disappointing.

Ordered ham and it arrived on time. But the package use by dates were all less than 30 days of expiration. They taste more like italian prosciutto not the ham I've loved from Spain. I contacted customer service, they asked for picturea. I sent pictures and have hear absolutely nothing. I've resent request but nothing. I wouldn't purchase from this site ever again. Online service should be about fresh not old inventory. So disappointed.

I ordered the Hamlovers sampler pack. Ordering was easy and shipping was quick but the quality of the meats were not good and one of the meats(Serrano) advertised in the pack was not included and Chorizo and Salchichon was sent in its place. I was looking forward to eating Serrano. On the edges of each slice of Lomo, there were small bland tasting clear crystals that dissolved while chewing that gave it an unpleasant texture until they dissolved. Also, throughout each slice of Jamon Iberico there were small bright white hard crystal/chunks. These did not dissolve and gave it an off texture. I'm guessing the crystals were curing chemicals but I have eaten these kinds of meats before and I have never seen these crystals before. The Jamon Iberico had great flavor but all the other meats that came as part of the sampler pack had a plastic like flavor like they had picked up the flavor of the plastic packaging. I do not find this plastic like flavor appetizing and will probably throw them out.. I am willing to order from Hamlovers again but I will not be ordering this product ever again. Even though this pack is a less expensive item, I expected better meat quality.
