I read in a few places online that the UdderMilk supplies Amish products. I placed my order, following the instructions on the website and went to the bank to have cash ready for delivery, again following instructions from their website. Dina from UdderMilk texted me to explain the delivery schedule and the cost. Asked if I wanted the delivery? I said "Yes". The next morning (before 8am), Dina texted me to request electronic transfer of the funds by Venmo or Zelle to moazfouda@gmail.com in advance. This seemed sketchy and unprofessional. An hour and a half later, my phone rang. I was still in bed recovering from an illness, I was awoken from sleep. I answered the phone and was advised by Dina to pay by electronic transfer with instructions in an earlier morning text message from Dina. I explained, I needed to get coffee, wake up, then I can send money. I realized after I woke up, I had to go re-deposit the money in the bank, so I can do the transfer. An hour and a half later, as I was turning on the computer to do the transfer, I got another text, "Did you pay?" I felt very uneasy with all the pushiness and flip flopping in terms. I googled UdderMilk and learned that they feel the rules and laws of this country do not apply to them. There is no transparency as to who owns the company? Federal, County, State governments going after the company with court backing, for which they ignored. A public search of the email address showed the owner of the email also feels the rules do not apply to them with law enforcement records. This reinforced my unease. I changed my mind about doing business with this company. I texted back "As I mentioned, I just woke up when you called me. I just poured my cup of coffee, and turned on my computer. Pestering me to pay FAST despite poor planning on your behalf and not stating clearly on your website that you wanted payment by Zelle is your problem, not mine. I went to the bank and made sure I had cash for the delivery now I'm being told that I need to electronically transfer the money immediately. That's not fair or right to me. Pushiness is giving off a bad first impression. I strongly suggest that you amend your website for it to accept Zelle during ordering to avoid pissing off your potential customers. If this is how your company is going to operate, let's just please cancel my order. I wish your business prosperity elsewhere." I got a reply "we didn't receive your order payment. Sorry, we can't open pictures here. Or if you paid with different name please let me know. Any updates, before the cut off? After the cut off we can't proceed the order?" Then they proceeded to call my phone repeatedly, blowing it up with messages and calls. I picked up the line eventually and read them the sms text message that they claim they did not receive in plain text sms, no images. Dina was speaking in a pushy tone, so I became firm with my tone and took control of the call, ending it abruptly while again wishing them prosperity elsewhere. Just so everyone is clear, this is NOT an Amish company. Maybe once-upon-a-time it was? This is currently a Muslim owned company, not Amish. I have done business with many Muslim individuals over the decades. Their culture is VERY different from our own in America, sometimes leading to conflict in ideologies as to what is professionally expected from a business operating in the USA. That being said, this business will not have my business. Now, keep in mind their approach and pushiness in this instance is very similar to that of professional scammers creating a false sense of urgency around topics of money. This is what queued me to STOP EVERYTHING and re-evaluate the situation. I'm not saying anyone should or should not do business with these people. It's your freewill to do with your money and body as you wish. I am merely sharing my personal experience and I wish anyone who reads this peace, good health and low stress in their lives. Thank you for reading my experience with UdderMilk. Stay blessed always.
FOLLOW UP: I tried to sign into my account to "delete account" and it took me to "Not Found Error: The requested address '/customers/new_delete' was not found on this server." I will attempt to text the company and email to request account deletion to prevent any potential abuse to my personal identifying information.
