4Patriots Reviews

Happy to acknowledge that their Customer Service DID follow through and ship missing items. (Received today.) So, I will accept that they are swamped and mean well - just simply overwhelmed with demand. Thank you.

Don't be put off by the super slick upselling when you go to check out. The product is good and if you are careful to avoid adding extra items to your cart, you can research the additional items later. 100% of the time, I have found I can buy those upsell items (if I need them) elsewhere for cheaper with faster shipping.

UPDATED: Company finally, a month later after the BBB's intercession, agreed to refund my order as well as pay the postage to ship items back...hence, honoring their 100% money-back guarantee.

Regarding my original review: As you can see it has been removed by me as unfortunately included in the company's response dated today, 08/04/2020, to my BBB claim I initially filed on 07/14/2020, they have "kindly" requested for me to remove my negative review stating it contained untrue information about their business practices and I quote:

“If this is not removed, we will need to take action as we will not allow anyone to spread inaccurate information about our company across the internet.”

So, while my review according to my experience was not inaccurate, and as I do have pictures to prove my concerns/claims, which are also documented and on file with (including pictures) with the BBB, I have redacted my original experience per their "friendly" request, and of course to avoid them "needing to take action" as honestly, who has time or money for that? I don't, or clearly I wouldn't, have fought a month to get back a few hundred dollars?

Bottom line: I just wanted my money back and their food picked up! I absolutely never wanted to go through hours of emailing and responding to claims, rebuttals, etc. just to get what their guarantee promised...100% money back (requiring customers to pay to ship large totes back due to defective/inaccurate product would in no way be 100% money back IMHO!). That said, I am just glad this experience is over and can only say without hesitation that I definitely will never do business with this company again.

They sent me an email stating I received the order but I haven't received half my order. The small one of course, but the big one for six hundred something dollars I guess vanished in thin air. I tried to call customer service, waited on hold for an hour twice, never reached anyone. Then they sent me an email saying I got my package. Wow.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not very happy. Customer service is impossible to get in touch with. Even after waiting on hold for 90+ minutes. Numerous times. The only time I did get to speak to someone was when prompted for sales and was able to get help from someone that could help with customer service. Otherwise, a sales agent is no help except to take your money. My first order was two 4-week boxes. I received one. I also was supposed to get two 72-hour meal packages. I was told I would get a replacement 4-week food box...no replacement has been received. No email to confirm either. I had also ordered two more 4-week boxes for a 4th of July sale. Also, no email confirmations until I actually got a person on the phone. But no shipping confirmation emails. Also no links for the online free books I was supposed to get. $200+ in free stuff...I got a solar kettle. Was supposed to come with cocoa and coffee. I did receive the two boxes I ordered for the holiday sale but still no replacement box from my first original two box order. I had a half dozen people wanting to order food. Not so much after what I am going thru. Tried email. They even have a "call you back" now when you call customer service...after you wait 20 minutes. I'd just like my 4-week supply of food. The cocoa and coffee and 72-hour food packs would be nice too. I guess I'm gonna have to look elsewhere for food. I am a patriot. Truly thought I was doing business with a patriot. Yes...I understand all the chaos that is going on.

I have tried twice to call customer service, a separate line from ordering, and I have waited over a half-hour each time with no response. The 4-week food supply advertised a free gift if ordered before July 4th which I really was looking forward to receiving and was not included.

I contacted 4Patriots by email and NO RESPONSE. Sending followup today. I did not order nor sign for a monthly order. I had decided to accept the 2nd order and possibly continue. However, given their lack of response, I am demanding a refund of their fraudulent charge to my checking account. They must be hurting for cash hoping you don't notice the fraudulent charge.

My first and last time ordering.

EXTREMELY disappointed in the value of this product. I ordered the 4-week survival food kit. Upon close inspection of the meals, what I found is a deal-breaker for me and should be for you too.

Out of 4 weeks of meals, there is a total of LESS THAN 80 grams of protein TOTAL in ALL the meals. Mostly, carbs and sodium. If you want protein, plan on adding it to the meals because they don't have it. If you are diabetic or someone in your family is, this is not for you.

What a scary thing to be dependent on this kind of food even if it is temporary. I'm going back to my other supplier. This is a total ripoff and I can't believe the people who created these meals have any type of dietary expertise and obviously are not qualified to create a nutrition plan. SAD.

I have purchased several things from 4Patriots and at times received coupons worth $25.00 to $40.00 good towards my next purchase and each time I attempted to use these coupons, I was unable to apply them. I contacted 4Patriots about this problem directly and THEY informed me that the coupons DID NOT apply to ME. Even though the coupons were sent to my address and had my name on them, they told me they did not apply to me. I believe in supporting my brother and sister patriots, but when I am doing my part and they choose to do their supporters like this, I do not believe that 4Patriots is serious about being fair in supporting their customers who are loyal to them. I had planned on purchasing their 4-week emergency food supply but now, by their actions, I am not so sure how loyal and fair 4Patriots are to their customers. In the future, I will find another loyal patriot to support. I find this review to be fair and honest as they were to me. As my order number was not supplied because I canceled my order, I will supply the coupon code offer in my name in the review.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Ordered a 4-week supply got nothing but oatmeal, mac and cheese, rice, pancakes, no Chile mac, stew, soups of any kind, no dinners. Not what was advertised. All you would have to do is respond, and maybe send me what I didn't get. But you don't respond, it's like you hide, apparently your company lacks respect, character in your customer service, don't use the word "patriot" unless you know its meaning. Thanks for reading my complaint, as a business owner for 30 years I do know something of making clients happy and it's not by ignoring.

Bought a solid generator. It would not charge with solar panels. I was unable to get any help from customer service. After over a dozen phone calls finally reached someone who said since I paid for half of it, they would cancel my remaining payments. So a $1000 for an expensive battery box or send it to them for $300 in shipping to return it. I cut my losses and took their offer. Two months later I had someone call wanting the rest of the payments. She denied anyone at the company would have me stop making payments. She said she would have the person who was in charge of helping to get the solar panels working to call me and I needed to resume my payments. Well, no one called to help me get it to work (so I did NOT SEND THEM MORE MONEY). Now they have sent it to collections. They are all about the money period. If something doesn’t work, why should I have to pay to send it back? And why did they not keep their settlement agreement? Why didn’t the person who specializes in getting this to work not call me? I am beyond dealing with them. If you look them up (I should have done this first) they have at least FIVE COMPANY NAMES. This company and their customer service are HORRIBLE. What I got for my money was AN EXPENSIVE BATTERY BOX and a bunch of hassle. Oh, and something sent to collections two years later. DON'T DO IT. Don’t make my mistake and buy it or trust anything they say! Try to post a review and look at their threat and loophole to keep negative reviews off!

I ordered and got my order but mostly breakfast items, and I did not receive any of the free gifts either. I was supposed to get 3 free 72-hour kits, 4 library books, and a $25 gift certificate with each order that I did not receive. Very dissatisfied and disappointed.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have ordered several times from this company and have received what was advertised. After the pandemic hit, they were out of stock, but I was on the notification list, and was notified that the four-week food kits were back in stock and ready to be shipped. My wife and I decided we would order a kit for our youngest son and his family and for our daughter's family. The kits were delivered promptly, and there the nightmare begins. In my shipment most of the items were substitutions. I did not get the creamy potato soup, loaded baked potato soup, chili mac, the berry cream of wheat, nor the energy drink; in short, two-thirds of what was advertised consisted of substitutions "of equal value".

When I opened the storage container, it smelled of oatmeal. I checked each package to see if a pouch had burst. Nope. Just a lot of oatmeal substitutions. The "equal value" substitutions included pancake mix, banana chips, powdered whey milk, a couple of pouches of creamy chicken soup, and a pouch of broccoli casserole. And missing were the $80.00 in free gifts. Rather expensive breakfast and snack items for $197.00. I contacted my children, and that was pretty much the same story: mostly items NOT advertised in the kits, and none of the free gifts. Oh, I was also supposed to get $25 off an order over $100.00. That didn't happen either. $591.00 down the drain. I wrote to customer service on the 21st of April 2020, and have yet to receive a reply. I am totally disappointed in a company that has received such great reviews. I will probably divide up my kit and send it to my kids.

My husband and I are extremely happy with our 4Patriots food purchase! During this Pandemic, we were worried about the unknown! Not knowing if we would be able to buy food and not get sick. We were scared! Now we are at ease and know we have enough to eat and can stay home until things get better!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We have tried the items in our 72-hour kit and the food is good. The creamy vegetable dinner was my favorite. The mac and cheese mix was good without adding extra cheese! I have gone on to order the deluxe protein kit, the meat kit, and a 4-week kit. My only negative criticism is that the massive amounts of rice and oatmeal that come in the 4-week kits. I think we have about 12 bags of rice and oatmeal. For the price we paid for the kit, that is some expensive rice and oatmeal! I really would have like to have seen more of the other recipes in the 4-week kit. It is a good thing that I ordered the meat kits and the deluxe protein kit to go with all of that darn rice. I plan to get a giant thing of raisins to go with all of the oatmeal. It is survival food and in a SHTF situation, you will be happy to have rice and oatmeal to barter with.

In Feb I ordered from Food 4 Patriots. Once the order was placed they took the money from my account. Then it took at least another month for me to receive my order. Now in April, I get another charge of $99 from this company. I have not reordered anything from this company, so this is a fraudulent charge. I attempted to contact them by phone, but after being on hold and music playing in my ear for about 30 minutes, I gave up and then attempted to contact them by email, which they have ignored. I contacted my bank and disputed the charge and have attempted to contact this company and are apparently being ignored also.

I have been purchasing products and food for years. I'm so glad I have been. I never expected a crisis in my area but here we are, COVID-19 has everyone sheltered in place or risk contracting deadly Coronavirus. Shocking, to say the least. And terrifying. Thankfully, because I've been purchasing for so long, I have enough supplies to support 8 family members for more than a year without ever going to a store. My family is home safe and protected for the duration which brings me the kind of peace of mind you can't find during this stressful virus pandemic.

Speedy service. Knowledgeable staff answers questions and you can ALWAYS speak to a person! Great intel information. Suggestions are made to better prepare a family for survival preparation.

Good afternoon my fellow patriots.

These are troubling times and I hope all of you are staying safe.

I made my first Patriot purchase in February, I heard about them through the internet so I decided to take a chance I liked what I saw and I have to say that I’m completely satisfied with my purchase I had bought the three-month survival food kit as well as the lumberjack and other purchases.

I’ve tested out one of the 72-hour survival food kits which consist of America’s finest mac and cheese, Grammy's sweet oatmeal, and creamy rice and vegetable dinner. Oh, yes, definitely very tasty, especially the creamy rice and vegetable dinner, which is my favorite.

To anyone who is reading this, give them a chance, their products are top choice. The only thing I would say is I wish some of the products had Meat Inc. in it, but they have that separately, still satisfied with the freeze-dried food products.

4Patriots will be my go-to for emergency preparedness. Good luck and God bless.

My experience with Food 4 Patriots started 5 or 6 years ago, when I ordered my first 3-month supply. Strawberries was one thing I got. Instead of hydrating them, I ate them right out of the can! The oatmeal was delicious; I doctored it up to suit myself. Soup was fantastic, too. Since that first encounter, I have ordered more 3-month supplies, and many individual cans or things I think we'd like in case of a real catastrophe. I may even break into some during the COVID-19 isolation order. They are a great order to fall back on in any time of emergency, even if there's NO emergency!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I haven't tasted the food products yet. They come in an easy to store format and don't take up a lot of room.

The service is friendly, fast, and efficient.

They have a lot of helpful survival information on their website, and recipes.

They will send emails for survival products.

At first I had tried little survival foods. I bought 1 month of food, then I saw the Patriot 1800 generator, I knew I had to have it for survival if times got really hard. At this time I knew I needed 3 more months of food, so I got it, then the sun kettle, solar radio, and power pack. Now here we are with a virus controlling for the first time in my lifetime everything we do. I thank the Patriot family for being there whenever I had a question to guide me through these purchases. We never know when bad things will happen. Thank you Patriot family.

The products fit my needs and availability, and affordable prices is a plus. I still have a wish list of products I will purchase in the future. Their catalog is well published and has detail information on each product. I’ve purchased products since COVID-19 has put a hold on the world. I have been telling friends and co-workers about the products and fast delivery.

Well, I did my first purchase. I had not had the time to open the boxes because I had been very busy. Today is the end of March and so I decided to open the boxes. Everything was fine until I opened the second box. One of the packages had a hole and leaked some of the product. I am going to call 4Patriots to see if anything can be done about that. Other than that situation, I am anxious to try the product.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have ordered many various items from Patriots Health and have always been very satisfied with their quality and service. They are my go-to for all our survival needs.

We use the water purifier daily to purify our municipal water for cooking and drinking needs. I have used the Patriot Power Greens for a month now and plan to make it an ongoing regiment in my daily health needs. I am 69 years old and feel great.

Ah come on now. If I wrote my full experience, it would fill this page and overflow to 3 or 4 additional pages. I did a quick look at my history file and the numbers below represent about a third of the business I've done with Food 4 Patriots. Even though I make my purchases in preparations for a grid down, emergency situation, I do sample the foods for taste, quality, and longevity. Aside from a couple of dinners having a bit more salt than I like, I have found all recipes to be filling and enjoyable. At this time I have approximately 3 years of food for my household of one adult "ME". Even though I am a 73-year-old retiree, surviving on Social Security, I live a frugal life and have acquired my stockpile a little at a time.

As a serious prepper, I would recommend Food 4 Patriots as the FIRST CHOICE foods for anyone that is serious about preparing for the future SHTF situations. For example: During this Wuhan virus (aka Coronavirus), I did not have to make any quick trips to the grocery store, and I have isolated myself in my home for 5 weeks now with no strain what-so-ever.

We’ve talked about this before, but now in this time of pandemic, we decided to lay in an Emergency Food Supply with the 4Patriot foods. The food arrived quickly and in two black storage boxes with the promised gifts enclosed. It looks delicious but we haven’t tried any of the foods yet. Just "on principle" we’ll cook up some of the food this weekend. I’m sure it will be fine.
