Home milk delivery

We've used Longmont Dairy for over 30 years. The milk has been great as well as the customer service.

Have had this happen before and Longmont Dairy will refund no questions asked! I keep a towel in the milk box during the winter and they always wrap the bottles with the blanket! And yes excellent quality milk, love their chocolate milk and raspberry lemonade too[Awesom]

With the current cooler tech I wonder if this is still an issue

I’m super curious , how much milk and how often do you get it ? I’ve never drank enough to consider getting it delivered I guess.
Is there a minimum for delivery? I took a quick peek at their website but didn’t see that kind of stuff.

Believe me, the delivery places do not use the current cooler tech. They use ice and lots of it. If they used the current tech, i'd wager a 1/2 gal of milk would run $5.

Easiest way to know, call the 2-3 you're interested in. They all offer, or use to offer a sample of their products to win you over.

When I was with Royal Crest there was a weekly minimum. Had to cancel it, we couldn?t consume enough products without gaining weight.

I dont really drink milk and have the occasional bowl of cereal but my kiddo loves milk. Longmont Dairy has a 3 item minimum order so I do two 1/2 gallon milks and one 1/2 gallon raspberry lemonade every other week! Works out great for us and isn't too expensive that way.

My parents use Royal Crest and yes they have the wood milk box that gets ice. Longmont Dairy uses Coleman coolers...they're not the greatest but better than a thin wood box!

We just get a 1/2 gallon of milk each week from Royal Crest now...we used to get more, but have cut back. They never mentioned a minimum....

Hard for me to believe home milk delivery is still even available these days! We used to get it when I was a kid, 55 years ago. Back then they'd just come in and put it all in your fridge.

No minimum anymore, at least when we ordered service here in the Springs -- unsure if other areas have different rules.

There is a default order if one forgets to mark the order card with something different, or skips.

We tried it for a few weeks but decided the quality of the other stuff was mid grade and prices high grade. The boys don't really like milk.

As a company I was impressed with them from their sales rep to the cancellation process, though.
