Galbi ribs setback and how they recover from mistake

Just received my first order, overall it looks good except the one pack of
"Korean Style Beef Short Ribs - Flanken Cut (Galbi) 1kg Pack". I purchased 2 pcks of these, one is fine but another got More than 50% as pure fat (not marble but pure fat, see photo), and I do not expect this given it costs £16 per kg. I see the satisfaction guarantee and quality promise in the company website, and clearly it is more disappointment than satisfaction.

Interestingly, having reviewed the photo, their customer support first claimed that the fat portion is that high normally. Obviously I cannot accept this. But once their care manager steps in, they offer a replacement pack, which is the right thing to do, and I appreciate it.

Mixed quality..

Grain fed mince was good quality, sausages and chicken skewers were ok..both a bit boring. The pork chops Inc bone, fat and rind but we're very thin. Not as good as first order..

Good Quality Products Freshly Delivered

This is my second order now because I'm impressed with the quality of the meat of my previous order.
Delivery is prompt and the meat is delivered with cool packs, so nice and fresh.
Will continue to use and I recommend.

Fantastic butchers

Ive had a couple of deliveries from The Village Butchers and am so glad that I found them.
I have tried lots of different meats and have not been disappointed by any of it. Particular mention to this week's products, the lamb kebabs were superb as was the chicken supreme. Both cooked on the bbq with friends and everyone was saying how lovely they were. On top of the wonderful meats, I had a problem with the delivery the first time and they sorted it out promptly with great communication so a fab service on all levels.
Highly recommend!!

Thanks Mick
