07/22/08 - Current Cannery to Ship Times

This page is REQUIRED READING for all customers placing orders -- we want you to be fully aware of the current cannery situation.

Our published ship times are estimates, as accurate and as truthful as we can make them. Many sites are promising shipping times on what they cannot possibly deliver hoping to get your business, we are not willing to lie to you about what's really happening with the cannery situation. We all buy our food from the same sources!

Rainy Day UPS shipments, all products: 12 - 14 weeks.
Mountain House pouches: 1 - 3 weeks
Mountain House cans: (No longer available) All Existing MH orders will be filled.
Richmoor pouches: 2 - 3 weeks or more
*Alpine Aire pouches: 3 - 10 weeks or more

*Alpine Aire Update: Alpine is now promising that all orders through June 2008 will be filled by the end of July -- HOWEVER take this with caution, we've seen promises like this many times before and they have never once transpired. They're doing the best they can under extreme circumstances.

We do not guaranteed the availability of any product due to extreme volume. Serious food preparations are now in order! Emergency News - MUST READ! Please make sure your order is accurate. All orders must be placed through our shopping cart, or sent through the US mail.

Shipping times are NOT guarantees - they are simply estimates for new orders . Ship times change according to product availability and volume, which remains extremely high. We are as honest as we can about what is really happening with the canneries we deal with and their order volume. Don't believe everything you read elsewhere. You must be patient, if you are in a hurry, please DO NOT ORDER from us, we really cannot go any faster then we already are. Every cannery in the entire country is overwhelmed with orders. Order cancellations for any reason are subject to our order policies.

For two years, I have been warning the general public on our blog that global demand for food will outstrip the available supply. This is now happening worldwide, over 37 countries are now in severe food crisis. This will not get any better, ever. Food shortages are occurring all over the entire world. There is detailed documentation on the blog why this is occurring.

Oil is also very volatile, now steadily climbing higher and higher. Mexican oil imports (our 3rd largest importer) is in serious irreversible decline (Cantrell oil field), we expect this to cause significantly higher fuel and transportation prices. Oil decline is also happening in oil fields all over the world. Food IS oil -- we cannot farm, fertilize, produce, ship or distribute even 10% of the world's food supply without abundant cheap oil. This means famines are going to become a very real part of life on Earth.

We expect oil prices (and food) to go much higher as we continue to deplete global energy supplies. This, combined with global drought conditions means food shortages are now a fact of life in some nations, and already severe and worsening, month by month. In other words, food prices will never be this cheap again. We suggest you order sooner rather then later, while availability (and cannery demand) is still relatively good.

Expect to see prices continue to climb as the global crisis deepens (on everything). Global food reports reveal huge price increases on staples, grains, dairy and most consumable commodities. This is happening worldwide. Projections are for much higher fruit and vegetable costs this year. Shipping rates jumped, again and again, production of petroleum and world wide outputs continues to fall as energy resources decline. Food production (agriculture), transportation, processing and packaging is highly dependent upon oil. As oil declines, prices increase, dramatically. Prepare today, for tomorrow's crisis. Most storable foods will last several decades, making this a wise investment today. See our blog for daily, documented events of how our world is collapsing. New blog entry - Warning To The World
