San Diego Ice Co.

Not sure what’s happening with these guys but it seems like it’s heading in the wrong direction. I gave them two stars as an overall rating for the two experiences I’ve had. For the 2015 superbowl I bought their single track ice luge ($ 55) and two bags of ice — huge bags. Not cheap for frozen water but the luge is what I wanted. The luge lasted about 4 hours of use — can’t say how many shots but I would think more than 50. The bags of ice were much bigger than I could purchase at Vons (at least twice the largest bag). If I had been on Unilocal last year I would have given them 5 stars. I wanted to do the same for the 2016 superbowl.
On Feb 7, I bought the same set up (luge + 2 bags) but THE LUGE NOW COSTS $ 75, bags of ice are way smaller and selling for the same price! And the worst part of it, the luge lasted maybe an hour. For those who haven’t had one, a crack appears in the luge track (where you pour the shot), and it opens like a tunnel to a lower part. That crack which quickly becomes a hole, is where all of your shot will go! We got crushed ice and packed the holes as we continued to try to salvage it but they were too many as more and more kept appearing. The $ 86.51 spent was gone by 2p. So ice and luge prices have seriously gone up and the luge was an embarrassment.

Thank you San Diego Ice Company for coming out exactly as expected and delivering the snow. Your staff was quick and very efficient. Also very friendly when it came to random questions and addressing any concerns about the ice.
It was truly an experience to watch them blow the snow. The kids all had a blast including adults.

Thanks for making the day a reality and for making memories that will last a lifetime.
We definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to create winter in San Diego.

GREAT service to our door and guy was super who delivered. backyard wedding in 90 degree heat– gotta love them

It’s an ice factory that sells ice for very very cheap. I came here specifically for dry ice before my camping trip and was stoked on how cheap it was. It’s a great spot to get giant blocks of ice for an ice luge, high quantities of ice for barbecues, parties, fishing, etc.
Dry ice — $ 1 per pound
20lb bag of ice — $ 2.75
Killer deal on ice.

I am an avid fisherman and outdoors man. This place sells 40lbs bags of ice for a fraction of what a grocery store sells them for. The facility is immaculate and the staff is very accommodating. Last summer we were loading up for a multi fishing trip and need 300lbs of ice. I couldn’t get to them on time. They actually stayed open 30 minutes after closing so I could get my ice. These guys are top notch. And Robert S. This isn’t the place to bitch about the driving habits of drivers.

The ice here may be great (How hard can it really be to freeze water?), but the drivers of the big trucks for this company need to pay more attention! One of them nearly took out a family of four this morning!

I never write reviews or complain for that matter, but I am still so upset with this business that I had to do something.
I called on the Wednesday before Labor Day and talked to a very nice man regarding my optoins for ice luges for my Labor Day party on the following Sunday. I decided on 2 small luges instead of 1 large and was told that he would have them ready for me and I said that I would be there around 2pm to pick them up for my party that started at 3pm. I left my prized parking spot in Mission Beach on Labor Day weekend at 1;30 and arrived just before 2pm. I explained to a young man on the dock htat I was there to pick up the 2 luges that I had called in on Wednesday to have reserved. He responded «Ugh-​I will check to see if we have any left.» He came back to let me know that they did not have any luges left and he did not know anything about my order for 2 luges. He barely even apologized. I then frantically tried calling everywhere in San Diego to find ice luges with no success. So I headed back to Mission Beach where I then spent 1.5 hours trying to find a parking spot, and was over an hour late to my own party with no ice luges.
This business basicaly ruined my party and did not even apologize for thier error. I would reccomend not doing business with them at all as they do not take thier customers seriously or even care.

I needed 100 lbs of ice and 60 lbs of dry ice before a party and I’m so relieved I came across San Diego Ice Co via Unilocal.I called and they had my order prepared in minutes. I was impressed with the customer service and they even sell ICE LUGES!

I was incredibly impressed with San Diego Ice Company. I approached them with a specialized request and some difficult logistics for a 150 lb. ice block, and they were more than accommodating. Their staff were very friendly, and they gave me an incredibly fair price. Delivery was timely, and the block itself was completely pristine. They were very transparent about their process, so that I could work my logistics in the best possible manner. I highly recommend SD Ice Co, and will definitely be a returning customer.

Purchasing an ICE LUGE for your party or gathering does not get any easier than from San Diego Ice Co. I arrived 30 minutes before closing and had my Ice luge in my Subaru 10 minutes before close (they close at 5pm). The staff was very friendly and the pricing is extremely fair! I’ve already sent multiple people to SD ICE CO for their party needs and its only been a few days. No matter how small or large of an order you are placing they seem to cater to everyone. Great job guys.

What’s a Christmas party without SNOW!!!
I was looking for a way to really kick up my Team Christmas Party a notch when it hit me… SNOW!!! Being SoCal residents we don’t often get to enjoy snow in our back yard so I was excited to tackle the idea. After a quick Google search I located San Diego Ice Co. They offer snow to be blown, but you have to buy a few tons and I didn’t have $ 800+ in my budget. They DO offer 50 pound bags of snow for $ 10 each though! The friendly girl on the phone explained that 2 – 3 bags will cover about a parking space. I bought 7 bags :-)
We spread it around the walkways leading to the party and framed the back yard. It was truly an amazing accent tot he party that helped everyone get in the spirit. Just as a frame of reference for anyone that wants to do a similar thing at your party. We put the ice down around 5:30 PM and it was about 60 degrees out. The snow lasted the duration of the party and even a little into the morning.
San Diego Ice company is easy and convenient to work with. I drove my truck right up to the loading dock. I paid and they loaded my truck for me. I was literally in and out in minutes. Definitely a good business to patronize!

Ice luge was the super cool. 3 guys are able to move it no need to pay for delivery.

Need ice in a jiffy? Don’t wanna overpay for 7 pound bags when you can get a bulk discount on a 20 pounder? Hit up San Diego Ice.
It seems kinda silly that ice would be something you’d pay for since you can just run some free ass tap water and freeze that shits in no time. But when you need lots and all you’ve got is a Gatorade fridge at home, SD Ice can be a savior.
Cheap, the ice is never touched by human hands… and if you want, they’ll deliver right to your door for a nominal fee. Score!

The owner is awesome. I met him at Qualcomm Stadium during Firestorm 2007. He drove to Qualcomm with 12,000 lbs of ice on Tuesday Oct 23, 2007 to donate. After driving around trying to get someone/​anyone to accept it..
So when people ask how they started getting cold water, it is because of this company.
