Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Shipping and Customer Service
- Emergency Food Selection
- Survival Gear
- Educational Resources
Shipping and Customer Service
This company takes care of its customers. Shipping is free for orders over $150 and orders usually arrive within 3-5 days after placement, which is record time within the industry. These perks do not apply to orders shipping to Alaska and Hawaii.
Food Insurance has a completely U.S.-based customer service team available to assist customers over the phone during 8:00AM-5:00PM MST Monday-Friday.
In addition, there is no sales tax on orders outside of New York and Utah, customers can get a free Daily Bread sample entree (after paying $1.99 for shipping), and the company sells heavily discounted emergency food buckets in its Emergency Reserve sale.
Emergency Food Selection
Food Insurance carries a variety of dehydrated, bulk, and freeze-dried foods (many which simply require adding boiling water) including:
- Entrees
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Meats
- Beans and rice
- Noodles and pasta
- Dairy and drinks
- Snacks and desserts
- Gluten-free meals
Survival Gear
In addition to food storage, Food Insurance sells various survival essentials such as:
- Water, water storage, and water filters
- Knives and tools
- Blankets and warmth aids
- Solar power
- Bug-out bag kits
- First aid and medical gear
- Cooking gear and fuel
- Heirloom seeds
Educational Resources
Food Insurance has a strong informational element to its website with a good amount of useful articles, an interactive map, a downloadable PDF Prep Guide, and a well-kept blog. The company’s resources page points users to several national and local preparation groups, both private and government-run.
The Bad
- Inventory Duplicates
Inventory Duplicates
As Food Insurance is a sister company to Daily Bread and The Ready Store, it carries an almost identical inventory set. If purchasing from one of these companies, preppers should choose one from which to buy everything to avoid paying separate shipping fees.
The Bottom Line
Food Insurance offers a sound emergency preparedness knowledge base and good customer care in addition to a wide variety of high-quality food and supplies. Plus, this company is a sound choice for customers who want their orders to arrive quickly.
