You’ve probably heard the news by now, our beloved Zaycon Fresh has closed- or as they put it, suspended all operations. This is by and far one of the hardest posts we’ve had to publish,. We closely vet all companies before we promote them, and worked very hard to bring Zaycon board to provide you with the best quality and convenience. We are sickened that Zaycon has decided to end operations in this manner, leaving their hard working customers with such a mess.
Right now, there is a lot of speculation as to what’s happened, and many bloggers are posting with rose colored glasses that a suspension is only temporary. It’s not. I do not forsee Zaycon to reopen, nor do I expect them to provide additional customer service.
They began with a perfect business model that grew too quickly and without foresight. It seemed that they were too busy trying to bring on other products that simply weren’t as comparable in quality or price as the two founding products, chicken and bacon.
How Do I Get a Refund From Zaycon
You can try contacting Zaycon, but I don’t expect them to respond. They had difficulty keeping up during prior issues, and it’s rumored that the entire office staff was also laid off yesterday with no notice.
If you have open orders, contact your bank or credit card company to dispute the charges. Do this immediately, as there is a short window (determined by each bank) that this is allowed.
Questions About the Zaycon Closure
We’ve opened a discussion post in our Facebook group to provide up to date information from both our team and members. You can view the post in it’s entirety HERE.
Will I Receive My Pending Zaycon Deliveries
If your delivery is currently on the road, you may still be able to pick it up. Several readers have reported receiving texts today confirming today’s delivery time.
If your delivery is currently scheduled for the future, don’t expect to receive it. We can’t be sure that scheduled deliveries have been canceled, but I would advise that you file a claim or dispute with your bank or card issuer instead of chancing it.
Zaycon Lawsuit
The owners of Zaycon are currently being sued by some very powerful investors for falsifying information. You can read the entire docket here —> Braddock vs. Zaycon Foods and it looks like they’ve been involved in several other court proceedings in recent months.
It’s too early to tell if a class action lawsuit against Zaycon will be filed on behalf of scorned customers, but we will update you as soon as we know more.
