Quote of the Day “Being passive is not the same as being peaceful. If you aren’t doing what you know, in your heart, you want to do, you are NOT going with the flow. You are going against the flow. Your reactions, emotions, desires, and talents are all part of the flow of life. Ignoring them is passive resistance. Let yourself go.” ~Vironika Tugaleva
Are you a Zaycon Foods shopper? Did you hear the news? Zaycon Foods has suspended their operations effective June 25th, 2018. I am so disappointed! Not only did I have chicken breasts on order, but I was ready to place an order for their delicious turkey breasts and chicken thighs as well. If you have prepaid for something, be sure and call your credit card company and start a dispute charge so you’ll be able to get your money back. What a bummer! I have always loved their products and the fact that I could just drive up to one of their trucks and pick up a large order. 🙁
Tuesday, let’s do this!

Amber in Bend Oregon says
Hmmm, I have a pick up time in less than two hours. No notice of it cancelling yet via email or text. I guess we’ll see shortly what the outcome is. Honestly, it’s always been a crap shoot for my delivery from Zaycon. This one was supposed to have been last Tuesday. Only one out of five total orders I have made over the years delivered when originally stated. This was super inconvenient when I lived an hour from delivery site with three little ones all under 3 1/2. I’d always say never again, but then get sucked back in with a great promo price. It’s such a great business concept that they have. I have heard that nationwide there’s a shortage of logistics employees and rising costs due to that, maybe it came into play here.
Sue says
Well, it looks like I’m out for 1 order of chicken breast and 2 orders of ground beef, tried using th their e-mail but it’s taken down. BIG BUMMER!
Cheryl says
Call your credit card company and dispute the charges. They should go after them.
Melinda W says
My mom and I have about 6 outstanding orders, and have contacted the credit card companies to dispute. As of now, there’s no way to contact Zaycon or get the order information, so be sure you’ve got your emails with all the info if you possibly can. I’ve been sending screenshots of the website page and my orders, and letting them know that all listed phone numbers have been disconnected and the email listed on the website bounced back for me. I just got a delivery on Saturday and the driver was telling us where he’d be for the next delivery to make things easier, so this was a bit of a sudden shock.
CT Bargain Mom says
Hey there Lucy!!! Can you be any cuter? Not a sad looking.
Holy cow! Looks like I dodged a bullet, was going to place an order this week for ground beef after reading rave reviews….can’t really afford to lose that $$. It’s a bummer though.
Elise in the SF Bay Area says
(Our) Lucy looks so great! I’m so glad she’s on the mend, and you (all of you) can get back to what gives you joy 🙂
Amber in Bend Oregon says
UPDATE-
I texted Zaycon via the event reminder that they had sent me. Replied as follows:
Your Zaycon Ambassador, Rudy Morris, is at your event early. You are welcome to come by now and pick up your order.I just picked up my order a half hour early. I did no bring up the closure or inquire as to pending orders with driver. I didn’t want to make him uncomfortable, though we were the only two in the parking lot.
Heidi P says
So glad you were able to get your order. I so wish you would have asked what’s going on. I haven’t received any replies to my e-mails and texts:( Tough to not have any means of contacting them and receiving a reply.
Jennifer says
Amber, I live in Redmond…. I wonder if they have extra on the truck they would sell… The blog time for your comments is obviously off since I live 30 minutes away and it says you posted 2 hours from now… do you think the truck in still there?? Glad you got your order
Amber in Bend Oregon says
Hi Jennifer,
I wondered the same thing regarding extras on truck. Bend event was from 8 to 830 am off hwy 20 east.
Nancy D says
I’m thinking the time stamps on posts are set up for Mavis’ East coast time zone…
Amber in Bend Oregon says
I texted the number 59865 and received a reply within an hour this morning.
Heidi P says
Thank you Amber. I just sent a text regarding my 2 outstanding orders.
Amber in Bend Oregon says
Heidi,
The truck was packed full of chicken and there isn’t a huge following here in Bend, they typically head to western Oregon from here over the next few days, then up to WA. I’m not sure how far out your orders were but I sensed the driver having a full load like that was enroute to many more locations. I recall the original founder had started a new company a couple years back but when I inquired they were seving Portland but not yet in Bend. It had more processed types of foods though. It was fresh direct or something like that. Best of luck. In hindsight, I totally should have asked:(
Heidi P says
Hey Amber, Thanks for the reply to my post. No worries. Loved Zaycon. Sad to see them possibly go away. Time to find another meat supplier.
Lori Bates says
Thank you for the number, Amber. Just sent a request for a refund on my unfilled order and account balance. It’s after normal working hours, but hopefully this will generate a response tomorrow. I did get a text telling me that my bacon order could not be delivered (was supposed to be today) due to their refrigerated truck breaking down and all of the contents spoiling in the heat. Now not sure what to believe. Lori
Katie says
I’m so so so disappointed with the Zaycon news. I have saved so much money since I found out about them on your blog a few years ago. I have never had any issues with them. I’ve already disputed my charge for a chicken order. Not sure what we’ll do from here! This is a blow to our grocery budget for sure.

So allegedly they have some internal drama and legal woes that may have contributed to the shut down?
Martha says
Man, I am out $600 + grocery money. My credit card is contacting their bank, so I guess we get in line. Bummer.
Cindy Brick says
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Mavis, for mentioning Zaycon shutting down! Just a few weeks ago, I also had paid ahead of time for a chicken breast order, to be delivered in September. I zipped over to my credit card company immediately and put in a dispute. That money’s back in my account, thanks to you. (Do you want a cut? 🙂
I would never had known, if you hadn’t mentioned it. Zaycon sure didn’t contact me.
Jennifer Meyer says
Yes thank you Mavias for letting us know! I wouldn’t have found out until October when it was time for my pickup. As it is now I’ve got a dispute in with my credit card already. Thank you!
Jennifer Meyer says
Ahhh sorry for the typo on your name. Blame my old, slow phone lol!
Lolly says
I filed a dispute against Zaycon this am with my CC co, and almost immediately they closed my inquiry and told me the credit would happen within 2 days. I guess I wasn’t their first customer filing a dispute!
Erin K says
I’m a little disappointed about Zaycon. I tried them the first time for their awesome chicken breast deal. Ordered back in April and picked up just last week! Looks like I got my box right in time. They did change the window on me, twice. It was annoying so I was debating whether to do it again. Now I guess I don’t have a choice.
