“This isn't just ugly produce, it's trash. The first box i received was ok. The second two were horrible. i could've purchase the things that were usable for less than 5 bucks. Other than that, there were two crushed cucumbers, two crushed green peppers (that were rotted inside anyway), wilted lettuce that looked like it got pulled out of trash can, and the smallest pineapple in the world (which we paid extra for. I cancelled this after this order. This company is capitalizing on people who want to contribute positively to the world by decreasing food waste and selling them trash.”

“I have been locked out of my account for several months. I have requested a password reset through the site and while I receive the first email saying the password reset email will arrive in 30 minutes, it never does. I have been trying to reset for months. I have since moved from my old address and boxes continue to be shipped to a place I no longer live. There is no contact number on their website. I have submitted a support request through their site but have yet to receive a response. At this point I will have to reach out to my credit card company to stop payments since it seems impossible to get in touch with the company.”

“I’ve received the smaller box (paid for larger) several times, not containing what I’d ordered. 99% of the shipments are missing items or have badly bruised or moldy fruits and vegetables. At Thanksgiving and again at New Years, I was charged and then didn’t receive a box for over a week past the estimated receive date. Customer Service has been sarcastic.”

“Each box I receive has moldy vegetables that are spoiled and or foaming with mold I’ve already canceled once and After being talked into given another chance, just canceled again. This is a complete disgrace and embarrassment to my family to have this type of lackluster half rotten produce sent to my door.”

“We have been customers for almost a year now. Most of the products look similar to what you would get in the store, no obvious problems. We get the larger box for a family of three and usually gobble up all of the contents, no problem. Every time I have had a missing item or any problem whatsoever I simply snap a photo and send it to them and they are very responsive. Within a day or two they have returned my money and apologized. A missing item or two does happen fairly frequently so it’s important to check. Despite that, we are sticking with it. We are eating much healthier than ever before! Though many of these products might be available in a grocery store near me, the convenience and the price and the fun of opening the boxes makes it worth it!”

“We live in the far Northeast. I ordered a $35 box. Only 1 item was substituted where I got blueberries vs. blackberries. The food was really good tasting. I did need to freeze up some peppers and candy some ginger because I got so much. I was really impressed. It was timely and well packaged.”

“I ordered my first box in early December. My account was charged, however, I never received this box. After contacting the company twice through their online form, I was finally able to get a refund. There was no customer service number or email listed on the website. I gave the company a second chance. This box was charged on time and delivered late. Most of the food was rotting or close to expiring. I was not please. I contacted customer service through their online form again. This time I did not get a response and I still have not received a response. The amount of useable food you get from the box is not worth the money you pay. In my opinion, it’s better to go straight to the grocery store. I don’t see myself using Misfits Market again.”

“First two weeks great! I told all my friends. I was so excited. Then...downhill from there. Rotten fruit, missing items, no sense substitutions--I mean who substitutes garlic for apples? Crushed oat milk on the bottom of the box, which soaked all the produce and mixed with the already rotten potatoes, creating a lovely, stinky potato/oat soup. The past 3 weeks have been very upsetting. Today was absolutely ridiculous. ONLY two items I had ordered were in the box. Crazy. Very frustrating. Customer service responds quickly and have been polite--maybe they need to train the people who pack and ABUSE the produce how to pack properly, sort properly, and substitute properly. I don't mind an OCCASIONAL substitution, but it has to make sense and it can't be an entire box! I am probably unsubscribing. Not worth the stress.”

“Everything went wrong. Delivery was late, product was disgusting and inedible. Bruised, rotten, soft - HORRIBLE! I have emailed them at customer support that I want to CANCEL at least 7x and just received notice that they've charged my account and re sending out another box that I neither chose nor authorized. On with my credit card company now to dispute the charges”

“Do not subscribe. Save your money. The first 6 weeks were good. Then the weather got really hot in July and August, and most all of the shipment was way past quality. In September I suspended my membership to begin again in December, assuming the deliveries would stay cold and arrive fresh. Wrong, oh, wrong. The first box in December was mostly good except cucumbers were smashed beyond use, and the head of chicory was half spoiled. Next two boxes never arrived. When I inquired, I was told it is MY responsibility to contact Fed EX!! I am done.”

“The first box I ordered had ancient and moldy vegetables, I complained, and they promised to improve with a partial refund. The next box was better, but the third had moldy tomatoes, green potatoes, and other items that went straight into the compost. Today's box was the worst-blackened tomatoes, withered squash, moldy, withered zucchini, moldy spot on a yellow pepper, slimy greens. I cancelled. Much of the produce was from Mexico, and I have seldom received items that were fresh but ugly as advertised. Elderly, but not ugly.”

We also include materials in our boxes designed to protect and keep our boxes fresh during the journey. We do source from outside the U.S. but a large number of our farm partners who provide us with organic produce are located here in the United States. In order to diversify the box selection, we will work with carefully selected, certified-organic growers within the Americas (and sometimes beyond) to procure items like avocados and citrus. Our primary focus remains delivering quality food while breaking the cycle of food waste.

“I keep seeing reviews from recent purchasers. I just want to say that I had ordered a box from them a year ago, and the quality has remained consistent. Mushy rotten food, warm produce, underweight, and LOADED with sprouted potatoes. The packaging itself probably made up for half the weight of the box we ordered. You will receive nothing but filler produce such as red delicious apples and potatoes. Don’t fall for their marketing! Dont be convinced by the articles! Misfit market is a scam! Nonexistent customer service, lousy produce, underweight packages. Everything about this company is a scam.”

Thank you for taking the time to share. We're sorry you did not enjoy your gift order when you received it a year ago. We pack every box fresh and include materials to maintain freshness in transit. The core measurements of our boxes are the number of people a box feeds per week and the value/savings you can expect compared to grocery store prices. E.g., when there are less squash and potatoes but more greens or asparagus, a box may be a little lighter in weight but will sacrifice nothing in terms of value. Our Customer Success team was thankful for the opportunity to discuss your feedback for this box and answer any questions when you reached out to us in September of 2019. We appreciate you giving us a try and we hope that you will let us know if you need further assistance or have any questions by visiting us at https://www.misfitsmarket.com/contact-us.

“I fully expected "ugly" produce. What I didn't expect was poor quality. I also thought i would get exactly what I ordered. Instead, I got 3 hot peppers instead of 3 seedless cucumbers (I hate hot peppers). I got one grapefruit instead of the navel oranges I ordered (my medication won't allow me to eat grapefruit). I got a mushy mango, a broken and dried out sweet green pepper, bruised apples and a beet literally the size of a soccer ball. I really wanted this company to be a great resource for me, but that won't happen. I cancelled my subscription immediately.”

While we're passionate about saving food, we're also very passionate about the customer experience. Inventory of customized items may fluctuate for a variety of reasons. I.e., we may decide not to ship an item because it doesn’t meet our high-quality standards. When this happens, we'll try to substitute it.

“I signed up for Misfits Market before the pandemic, and they used to be pretty good. They've taken advantage of the current situation to expand their business when they clearly weren't prepared. Since March of this year, the boxes have been terrible. The packaging is insufficient so everything gets smashed. Produce routinely arrives bruised and moldy. The kicker, I have a kitchen scale so I started weighing the produce. Their Madness box, which is supposed to be a minimum of 18 lbs routinely weighs only 14-17 lbs. I wouldn't pay for food I'm not getting at a grocery store I don't know why they expect I'm willing to do it with them. Overall, a good idea poorly executed by a company that became corrupt pretty quickly.”

“I had great expectations, but was disappointed by the time the third box arrived. The first two boxes were acceptable, even though there was some bruising from the manner of packing. But, the third box was unacceptable. The greens were old and unusable, the apples were bruised and punctured by other foods, the zucchini were all broken in half and the celery was badly damaged. We salvaged as much as we could, but I knew we could have bought much more food at a store for the price we paid for what remained. Each time we ate the greens, I became ill the next day. Possibly it was low grade food poisoning from poorly kept greens. I asked for some sort of compensation, but was only offered a 15% discount off my next shipment. There will not be a next shipment. This company has false advertising. I hope you are not duped by their attractive pictures. This is not the food you will receive.”

“It is one thing for food to be not uniformly shaped but another thing for the food to be thrown into a box with no protection from other foods. Lettuces and sage were wilted and no gel packs to aid in keeping them fresh. Pears were either bruised or skin had been scraped off by the bumping into other items in the box. Mini-cucumbers were broken into pieces. Celery had several stalks unattached. Apples had punctured holes - again would be able to handle not shaped uniformly but not holes punched throw the skin. Contacted customer service by e-mail within 15 minutes of it being delivered and have yet over 36 hours later to receive a response. I have cancelled my membership. The sad thing is all of this could have been prevented if items such as the fruit had been wrapped in tissue and some gel packs had been used for the lettuce, etc. Here is what appeared to have happened - a box was placed on a belt and as it moved down the line items were just tossed into the box with no care on the condition they landed. Then instead of putting packing to keep the items from shifting in a too large of a box they were just sealed up to make the journey and end up in terrible condition. Don't waste your money - the box and shipping cost was just under $49.00. The chickens got the most enjoyment out of the produce. As I told them in the comment I was ordering fresh produce not a wilted salad.”

They have no phone or any way to contact them. I don't know how safe the produce is to eat now, so we'll have to throw it out. We just threw out $45. Wonderful. What a crappy company.”
