Likes: I was very pleased and grateful for your sample pack of the soy beef, chicken and other meat. It was a very nice gesture…… and also, I’m amazed at how quickly you were able to ship this out. In addition to the quality, price, follow-up and reviews (which I love giving to companies after an order), I’m very, very impressed and wish I found this company a couple years ago ;)
Improvements: I love the little mini sample bags, but one thing I did want to mention is that there’s a whole in the mini beef Mylar bag and when I sealed it, pieces kept falling out. But at least I sealed it anyway so I know it’s good…. ;)
