Title: Food for BTC site now open!
Post by: BitPantry on August 01, 2012, 07:54:37 PM
Hey there, all you bitcoiners!

We wanted to let you all know about our new site, www.btcpantry.com .  We hand craft and ship to you tasty food items we have developed and refined recipes for.  Each food item is made especially for each order, no pre-packaged stuff here!  And the best part?  You can purchase these goodies using 'regular' money (USD) or with bitcoins!  When you place your order, the total will auto-convert to the bitcoin equivalent on the payment page, and you can choose to pay via BitPay!

Although we don't have a huge number of items up right now, we're always adding new items, and we love to get requests from you, our customers, for items you'd like to see on the site.  Additionally, because we know that there are many people with dietary restrictions of all kinds, we will customize any recipe to meet them upon request, or develop entirely new recipes based on those restrictions.  So, please send in ideas, suggestions, and requests to stormy@quickbitcoins.com

How many of you like bacon?  Have you ever tried candied bacon?  Well, if you have, and loved it, or if you never have, this is your go-to place for candied bacon!  Right now we have 4 flavour varieties: regular (delicious, smoky, bacony taste with a sweet wrapper), chili (spicy, sweetness layered with 3 varieties of peppers), cinnamon (tastes like a cinnamon roll with bacon wrapped in it), and holiday ham (think: glazed, baked holiday ham, but bacon).

Maybe you don't like bacon, are a vegetarian, or just have more a of sweet tooth?  We also have cookies and dessert bread!  We currently have S'mores cookie bars (layers of graham cracker cookie, melty gooey marshmallow, velvety chocolate), Chocolate Chocolate Chip cookies (chocolate cookies studded with chocolate chips), and Cherry-Chocolate Bread (a dense, chocolatey bread made with fresh cherries).  They're all really tasty!

Some of the planned upcoming items you'll be seeing soon on the site include handmade beef jerky in a variety of flavours, trail mixes, spice blends, popcorn seasonings, and much more!  Of course we'll also be introducing new varieties of cookies, candied bacon, and breads as well.  We're always excited and interested to see what kinds of things our customers like and would like to have, so if there's a treat you especially love and want, send it in and our kitchen will put it on the to-make list.

You can always be assured that your treats will arrive at you in the freshest possible conditions because:  1) You place your order on www.btcpantry.com. 2) We receive your order and make your items.  3) We ship your items the same day or first thing the next morning via priority mail.

This process ensures that you'll never get treats that have been sitting on the shelf waiting to be ordered, and that the least amount of time passes between the creation of your treats and you enjoying them!

Please take a look, and tell us what you think!  We're still in the process of getting the site in shape, so if you find any errors or things that should be better please let us know, but please be gentle!  We can't wait to see your orders and ideas, and to create treats just for you!

This is my wife's site.


I may be a bit biased, but I can say that as the personal taste tester for new recipes, the food is amazing. I'm sure several members of OTC can agree.

I just received my order of the Cherry Chocolate Dessert Bread today.  It is super delicious.
They even fulfilled my request to draw a penguin on the box.

The food looks great.  Is there any possibility of shipping to Canada or is food not allowed through customs.


Title: Re: Food for BTC site now open!
Post by: BitPantry on August 02, 2012, 10:26:20 AM
There should be no issues with shipping to Canada.


Title: Re: Food for BTC site now open!
Post by: geod on August 02, 2012, 02:05:55 PM
Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  I just checked your site and saw that you offered priority mail international which is quite expensive.  Maybe you can offer shipping via USPS Parcel Post or flat rate boxes for Canadian and international customers.


Title: Re: Food for BTC site now open!
Post by: BitPantry on August 02, 2012, 02:59:17 PM
Yes, shipping internationally is expensive, but the reason we ship via Priority mail is due to the 'shelf life' of the food items we are shipping.  We want to make sure that you don't receive items that have been so long in the mail getting to you that they are no longer in their freshest and most tasty condition.

As soon as I actually manage to mine or make some bitcoints I'm absolutely checking this out. Great idea and best of luck!

Though I must say after more delving I'm almost tempted to spend some USD here. Yummy looking.

If I was you I would be advertising heavily on Silk Road  :D

Looks awesome. But I guess shipping to Europe is not an option? (either too expensive, or too long to keep the food fresh)

If this grows big, you may wanna consider setting up a European franchise or something :)

This may seem like a joke, but it would probably be quite profitable (and totally legal) to do so.

This is definitely one of the most odd things ive ever seen haha. Its unique tho! Keep up the good work!

Just thought you'd all like to know that we've added some new items to BitPantry, including several flavours of beef jerky!  Check it out!

Where are you located? Would a farm be of use to you?

+1 to the idea.

@OP  Your stuff looks very tasty!  Added a shortcut to desktop for future use. =)

Would it be possible for you to add edible goods from other makers on there? I don't myself have any to offer but I could picture a site/store that offered food from many different sources being quite useful.

Actually, we are open to affiliates!  Thanks!

Would be very interested if you guys ever start shipping to EU! The site is very well laid out and the candied bacon looks incredible!!  :)


Title: Re: Food for BTC site now open!
Post by: BitPantry on August 08, 2012, 02:53:54 AM
We do ship some items to EU, just not the candied bacon at this time, unfortunately.  We are also testing out different shipping methods for international orders, so as soon as we get some feedback on those, we may be able to offer more options!


Title: Re: Food for BTC site now open!
Post by: irishbitcoins on August 08, 2012, 03:06:45 AM
Ah, my apologies! The shipping page on the website doesn't mention anything about international shipping, so I just presumed that those of us outside of the US wouldn't be able to sample the bacon-y goodness!
Can't wait to try them out!  :)
