Hello,
I bought 6lbs dried shrimp from a company name Louisiana Dried Shrimp
Grand Isle, LA 70358
504-382-0140
I placed my order thru that phone number and I received the package 3-4 days later. I paid $12 for the cost of this shipment plus the cost of the shrimp. I was told over the phone, the company will ship the shrimp and will include the envelope (with address) for me to pay with check or money order . Total price is ~$100 US dollars
This shipment box was left at my porch by the mail man. When I receive it, I saw many ant outside the box.
I took it inside my house and open it. There is a colony of ant inside and they get into all dry shrimp bag. The shrimp bag was package with zip log bag . It is not a good seal .
I tried to contact (2 days) the company several time for the last 2 days, but no one is pickup and the phone mail box is full . Here is my question
1) Is the shrimp still safe to eat. ? I do not want to eat it after saw many ants inside , all over the shrimps
2) Should I sent my payment to pay for it and never again to do business with this company. DH think I should pay because the company deliver the product . I do not agree because the company should pack their product better
4) If I send back the shrimp, who would pay for the cost of shipment.
3) Who falt it is in this case, the mail man or the company (in term of Ant get in the food) . Or it is me because I am not at home to receive the package on time . Not sure how and when ants get in .
I cant find their email address in order to contact them by email . If you do know, please share.
Please give me inputs of what is the best option I can do.
Thank you
