"As part of our food storage plan, we stock up when we get extra money. For the first time I went online to order food and it was so easy and the prices were wonderful. I was able to purchase a good variety of foods that I did not have in my supply. I loved the pouches of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables and breakfast/egg meals - especially since they will last for 25 years. As I was ordering them I kept thinking - oooh this will go great in stew, or soup and it was just fun to see how I could use these products. When my husband lost a job in Arizona 12 years ago, we lived on our food storage for 4 months before he got another one. It was okay and we survived just fine. If it ever happens again - I am almost looking forward to using the food storage we have now.
On top of the ordering experience, I was pleasantly surprised when everything that I ordered came in just a few boxes shipped right to my door. You can count on me returning to shop some more next time we get extra money. Thank you for providing great foods. Thank you for the great experience. I'll be back when we get our income tax return.

"There are a couple of us who have stored plenty of vegetables, proteins, and fruits, but this time we went for Brownie Mix and Sweet Baking Mix. Can't have a truly satisfying meal without a little dessert. Emergency Essentials offered them at a great sale price! Easy order. Quick delivery. They are my go-to place for supplies as the Ward Emergency Preparedness Specialist."
"While the service at Emergency Essentials has been fine for the most part, they source a portion of their food from China and other countries outside the US. I would personally prefer not to buy freeze dried food from China. The problem with EE is that you can't tell before you buy it where it is sourced from. I would like them to provide a list of their foods and the source, like other sellers. I asked their customer service for this and was told no. Given this situation, I do not buy food from EE any more."
"I don't care for the flavour derived from the skin and I wish they did not use the skin unless they use organic."
"I've been trading with Emergency Essentials for about 2 years now and have yet to have an order that was incorrect. When I've called with a question, they're always friendly and helpful. The people I've talked to there seem to enjoy their job and seem happy to help. Great people to do business with and the prices are reasonable."
"Emergency Essentials has a good variety of supplies - especially long term food storage. I've also purchased Christmas gifts from them (emergency backpacks)."
"I moved from PA to NC and have not gotten any upgrades to my new address in NC ! I called your office and got John !!! What a good employee you have there. Not only did he take care of me with an upgrade to my new address ,but got me a catalog in the mail and gave me his personal e-mail and told me ,if I want to ,to call him direct to place an order! this man has not only a great speaking voice but has a lot of knowledge of your products. I have been buying your products for years, and this man has the knowledge of the products, unlike previous people who have answered my calls!!!"
"I have been a prepper going back to 1999, during that time I have found many suppliers of prepper products. Of those suppliers, I have found only one that offers a great product line with the kind of customer support only found at Emergency Essentials. If your looking for a supplier of prepper products I say look no farther........"
"always fast shipping and great products."
"I look mostly for MRE's and freeze-dried canned goods. EE's MRE's are not identified by date of manufacture and are often more expensive than from other sources. On the plus side, EE often has MRE choices not available from other vendors. EE's #10 canned goods for the most part are not competitively priced compared to Wal-Mart and Costco, though once again, they often have better selection. Almost all the other vendors also manage to ship faster than EE. Best I can say is, keep working on it, it's a tough competition from the big box stores."
"The selection and ease of ordering was great. It wa very professional and easy to use. "
"Feels great getting a good deal at Emergency Essentials! They offer a wide variety of items so you can be prepared for anything."
"Always prompt service when placing an order, but I have requested several times that the boxes do not have the clear identification on the outside of what is in the boxes. All delivery people know exactly what I am receiving. I have asked to have this resolved multiple times but it has not taken care of.
Also some times cases are double boxed to insure no damage in transit. But several times they have not been double boxed for heavy product, and the single boxes and cans inside have been damaged.
I am somewhat satisfied, but these issues limit my wish to do more business with them, and have been taking my business elsewhere wherwe I can."
"Emergency Essentials has always given me great customer service and provided me with excellent products....and the best deals I could possibly find. I order often....and plan to continue to do so."
"Two hard to get items found in pantry size."
