Hampton Farms Unsalted Roasted In-Shell Peanuts, 5 Lbs. (Pack of 2)

Good quantity and quality. Not a lit of broken shells.

Always great quality and roasted perfectly.

I bought two 5 lb bags when the 2020 baseball season got mostly cancelled. Not that I have been to a game in 20 years, but NPR reported that Hampton Farms was hurting because they were the biggest supplier of ballpark in-the-shell peanuts. What I remembered was that ballpark peanuts were better than any I had since bought at the grocery, the 7/11 or snitched at 5 Guys. And the first two bags more than lived up to my expectations.Then my wife noticed that she could get 2 lb bags at the grocery. Only they were un-roasted. Put on cookie sheet, roast in oven. How hard could that be? Well, I learned. Even when fully cooked, they don't taste right until they cool. I didn't know that so I left them in a little longer. Most turned just a little brown and tasted bitter. Some were dark brown and inedible. And boy was it obvious that some spots in the oven bake at different temperatures.Grocery store peanuts usually have a mix of just right and burnt. 7/11 tended to mostly burnt. I think it takes someone who really knows how to get this right. Kudos Hampton Farms.Fast forward two months and I decide to buy some more. I was price shopping on some other items and wanted to get over the Walmart minimum for free shipping, so I checked out the peanuts. Nope. Quit a bit more expensive. I found something else I needed, placed my order and went back to Amazon for my peanuts. A couple days later I get my Walmart stuff and an unmarked shipping box with peanuts. I check my Amazon orders -- still pending. Hmmm, I screwed up -- now I'm going to have 20 lbs of peanuts. Two weeks later, nothing. I check back and Amazon says still pending. Finally, after six weeks Amazon says they shipped. But nothing arrives. I call the help desk and they claim it was delivered. I'm not happy.Fast forward a couple more months and hesitantly, I order more peanuts from Amazon. Two 5 lb bags arrive in 2 days but in a Sams Club box. Now I'm totally confused. Had I somehow signed up for periodic shipping from Walmart? I spend a while online and can't find anything. Then I check my Amazon order: delivered.I know that Amazon gets low prices because they buy bulk. But are they buying through Walmart and then having Walmart do the shipping? And if I go direct to Walmart their price is a couple bucks a bag higher. Crazy. But I will be buying more Hampton Farms unsalted roasted in-the-shell peanuts from Amazon as long as the prices stay good.

Always great, and always delivered fast. Thanks.

These Hampton Farms peanuts must taste pretty darn good. I've never tried them myself, but I like Hampton Farms because the critters I'm feeding seem to enjoy them and fight over them. (although they still like sunflower seeds more)But it's a crap shoot as to whom to buy these from, I've had very good and horrendous results depending on the seller. With products that are sold by many different sellers Amazon erases all trace of the seller after the purchase is made, so I suggest you take screenshots to record who you've bought from. I've bought these about a half dozen times and my second to last time was an a-z nightmare. However, I can't look back at my orders to see who not to buy from, or who was the very last place was who so very nicely got them to me quicker than necessary with zero problems. But the animals love them!!

I think what the biggest thing that concerns us when ordering something like this is "Are they Fresh".This is my second order and I have nothing but thumbs up!!

Great snack to share with furry little friends. I bought these mostly to feed the wildlife, but I sometimes snack on some myself too. No salt so they're safe for everybody. Squirrels, bluejays, red bellied woodpeckers, crows and occasionally grackles all seem to enjoy these. Buy a bunch when the price goes down since it fluctuates with the seasons.
