I almost never give 5-star reviews of anything, unless the product and/or service are far better than even my most optimistic expectations. This came very close to getting 5 stars. These days, whole wheat pasta is difficult to find (having been displaced in large part by gluten-free pasta that is of little real value unless one has celiac disease), and whole wheat wide egg noodles especially so. Food Service Direct is one of the few options, and they have better prices than most of the other potential suppliers, and an affordable one-case minimum, with the product in the manufacturer's standard retail packaging. (By contrast, the last time I bought whole wheat egg noodles, via Amazon, they were from a brand I'd never heard of, and I found that I had to break down packages obviously intended for commercial kitchens into reasonably-sized portions, weighing them out into zip-top bags, something I was delighted not to have to repeat with this order.) Ordering was easy, and my card was not billed until the day the product was shipped. (This is how all online merchants are supposed to operate; not all of them actually do operate that way). I was given plenty of advance warning that there would be an unusually long lead-time on my order, before actually committing to it, and it was very easy, even without establishing an account, to check the status. I received at least one email reminding me of the lead time after I placed the order, and when the product shipped, I was promptly notified, and given full tracking data as soon as it was available. Then, on the scheduled day of delivery, when I began to wonder what had become of it, and checked my email, there was a delivery notice in my in-box, and when I opened the door, the product was waiting on my doorstep.
