Nueske's Applewood Smoked MeatsReviews of nueskes.com

I’m scratching my head here — how on earth does Nueske’s only get 3.5 stars from some folks? Have they even tasted this stuff? I’ve been a fan for years, and honestly, I can’t find a single product from them that doesn’t deserve a perfect score. Their bacon? So good it should come with a warning label: “May cause extreme cravings and suspiciously happy dance moves.” Their corned beef hash? The kind of breakfast that makes you want to cancel all your plans and just stay home eating it forever. And those pork chops? WOW — they’re not just good, they’re next-level, flavor-bomb, meat nirvana. I did see one review whining about shipping costs. Honestly, every time I order, they throw in a free extra item like it’s no big deal. That alone more than makes up for the “high” shipping price. It’s like paying a little extra to get a tasty bonus surprise — I’m all in. At this point, I’m convinced anyone giving less than 5 stars either works for the competition or has taste buds that need a serious upgrade. Nueske’s isn’t just smoked meat — it’s a culinary mic drop. If you haven’t tried it, what are you even doing?

EXCELLENT! Always, great products, prices and timely deliveries. Customer service is APEX! Consistently great experiences and praises from recipients of Nueske's Gifts. Do NOT hesitate to patronize this business. PEACE&LUV, Dr. VK Williams

Shipping charges are a rip-off. We checked with UPS and the rate to ship the same weight to our home that is just 1 state away from them is $11 where Nueske's is charging $25.99 for standard shipping. Too many companies, like Nueske's scam their customers with exaggerated fees just to buy their products. Shipping and handling fees are simply a cost of doing business when a company decides to sell their products online knowing that their customers are not physically located where they are. Companies get great discounts from shipping carriers. So, while the $11 rate that we got from UPS would be considered a retail rate, companies like Nueske's would get a discounted rate below the $11. I corresponded with their customer service about this issue and Joanne's responses were simply condescending in nature.
