When you sign up for their sight, it is not made clear that you are signing up for an automatic and subscription-based service. That is something they hide in the 'Terms and conditions'. If you make an account, and don't immediately cancel your subscription, they will automatically bill you for an order that THEY create, and you will be paying WAY more than store prices for everything (which is stuff you don't want and didn't order, anyway). Additionally, their marketing itself is a scam. NONE of the products I received were deformed/substandard in any way. Besides one piece of corn, which was ROTTEN. Absolutely a horrible company that preys on unsuspecting people.

Signed up for every other week delivery. They sent second box week after first and refuse to offer any refund. In their words system does not allow refunds.

Do I have to give them even one star???? Just to be able to type into the review box. Ok. But it doesn't reflect my opinion of them . They get not even one star!!!!!!!!! This is a criminal outfit. They wouldn't allow me to search the market until I put my credit card number in. They even have a drop down banner that states " don't worry you will not be charged until your order is finalized" . I simply browsed the site and compared prices, put it on the back burner for a few days and the next thing you know. They charged my credit card 75.00 and shipped an order full of things that I don't even eat nor would I consider buying or eating. They even shipped items I'm allergic to. In the areas on their site to report an issue , I reported numerous times and was sent an email that a REAL PERSON would contact me. This was while my credit card was still PENDING. Eventually they CHARGED IT! I just wanted my card reimbursed . I DIDN'T ORDER THAT BOX OF GROCERIES. This is simply THEFT! I am very concerned about elderly folks that might wander onto their site. WE ARE SENIORS OURSELVES...BUT NOT STUPID , AS MISFITS ASSUMES! Not only did they charge my account, SHIP an order (that someone else picked out for us ) BUT they were also cued up to send me another shipment the following SIX WEEKS!!!! Thank God I checked my emails and put a stop to their criminal activity. Yes. I got the groceries delivered. I am giving it away to others who may need it. After the whole credit card theft, and the upcoming weeks worth of theft they had lined up, do they really expect me to go out and get the makings to send a refrigerated box back? . Sorry . but NOPE. The ice had long melted anyways. It's not my problem. They made no attempts to reimburse me, contact, me and " make it right ". As a person with a Marketing and Public Relations background..... I am literally in shock. And of course with that background I feel that is my duty to let everyone I know to stay as far away from Misfits site as possible. Obviously, they don't care about customers or anything but the almighty dollar. Not one single person reached out to try and help me. I got an automated response or two ..but that's it. This is the first review published on my mission to let the public know the truth about what they are doing.

Produce handling has increasingly gone downhill. The romaine was smashed into the box and bent into pieces. The parsley had the same thing and once I prepped it only a small amount was usable. Apples come with bad spots. I think my onion is totally rotten but I haven't cut it yet. The tomato looks underripe. Misfit advertises that its produce is the wrong size or color. It's not supposed to be rotten and mishandled.

Your ad for FRESH vegetables/ FOODS are misrepresenting. In the event my box is delivered to my door, I receive mismatched vegetables. Half are rotten. I’m ok with ugly. Money is wasted on your rotten merchandise. Overall, delivery is horrible. I discover more orders down the corridor by the mailbox’s. Really???? My order was due MONDAY MARCH 8th. Confirmation was issued for Tuesday delivery. Today is MARCH 14th and “lo and behold” the box was dropped off by a different entrance.

Terrible. They send you not oddly shaped veggies (which would be fine) but overgrown produce. Their selection for your box (because they pick, not you) doesn't make any sense. For instance, I got two potatoes for the week. A very stingy box. Worst of all, only two of the items had the organic label. The rest, as far as I see, is not organic, even though they say it is. Why no label? are we supposed to just believe what they say? It doesn't make any sense. A total rip off.

Thank you for posting and giving us a try. All the fruits and veggies we offer in our core subscription box are non-GMO and certified organic. We work with carefully selected, certified-organic growers and we source only high-quality produce from our list of farms & partners. As misfit items, you may see differences in size, packaging, and labeling, as in this case. However, rest assured these items are still certified organic. We also wanted to share some exciting product developments with you that you may not be aware of. While we do offer "mystery" boxes, we also offer the ability for our customers to customize their boxes at no extra charge. Many of our customers have told us they enjoy having the flexibility to choose what is in their boxes. We hope that if you haven't already you will try our customization feature. We appreciate your feedback and opinion on this and have shared it with our team. If you have any further questions, please let us know by reaching out to us at https://www.misfitsmarket.com/contact-us.

The second box I received was wet and the produce was moldy and had a rotten smell -threw all of it away. Since my first box was great, I contacted customer service in hopes they would make it right. Never did hear from customer service after 2 attempts so I cancelled.

Never received my box even the tracking said it was delivered. On top of that I have to wait to get someone from customer service to answer back from an email. They don't have a phone number so I can actually talk to a person and get it resolved today. So frustrating.

I heard about this company through a family member and I loved the idea of it, taking produce that no one else was going to eat and keeping it from being wasted is great because I know how much food goes to waste for being a little damaged or not perfect enough for grocery stores. However, execution on this 'solution' is not good. So the way the website works is that you can 'build your box' 4-5 days before it will be delivered (i.e. I would build on Monday to get the box on Saturday). However, when building the box items are sorted into 3-4 categories and you have to choose a certain number of items from each group (even if you don't want them?) Typically I plan out meals for the week on the Thursday/Friday before and go grocery shopping on Saturday. This box made it completely impossible to plan. On my first box I planned fajitas because one of the things I was sort of forced to get was limes as I just needed another pick from that category and I didn't want to waste. I made plans for all the veggies I was supposed to get in the box but was very disappointed when it arrived. I had some squash in the box that had been thrown in together with everything else causing my green peppers to be smashed (no big deal I just was going to cut them up anyway) but they didn't include sweet potatoes I had ordered and seemed maybe instead they sent me more limes?? I received 4 limes, in what world is that 1-2 servings of lime?? Needless to say I wasn't terribly impressed, but in the name of fairness I decided to give them one more chance, but the second box was even worse than the first! At least I was able to use everything in the first box. The second box was two days late. They said it might be held up by the snowstorm, but there was absolutely no more snow and should not have been delayed because of that (so I had to make plans and go shopping without being sure of what/how much produce I would be getting from Misfits). In my second box I ordered romaine lettuce, green leaf lettuce and spinach, it seems as though they just substitute if they don't have what you actually ordered, which is absolutely ridiculous since they're limiting your choices so much in the first place but I received RED leaf lettuce (seemed much more bitter than the green) and two bunches of spinach with no other lettuce to speak of. This was not in my plans-so now what was I going to do with all this spinach? (which still had the roots and was covered in dirt that got everywhere in the box) I also didn't get the broccoli that I ordered and the tomatoes I got were very soft (they were supposed to be beefsteak so soft to the touch is not what I anticipated.) And when I cut into the onion I got it was rotten inside. I ended up going to the store to get $15 more dollars in produce to replace what I NEEDED for the week. This service is not convenient and doesn't save me any money because I honestly end up with a lot of produce I don't know what to do with. You'd be better off simply buying what you WANT from the store than getting a box of random stuff of questionable quality.

I received my first box and was upset when I opened it. The lettuce was rotten and slimy green stuff had gotten all over everything. The apples were mush. The tomatoes were smashed. The squash was slimy and bruised. These are only a few examples. There was absolutely nothing edible in the box. It looked like it had all been picked out of the trash. And the packaging? Misfits touts great packaging. Not so! Everything was thrown into the box and a plastic ice pack was thrown over that. There was no special handling at all. It's like they just didn't care. And customer service? Well, there is none. They won't pick up the phone. They won't respond in chat. They won't answer email. Do not order from this company!

I really wanted to love this. But the quality of the produce was not good and it seemed to spoil fast. I had a squash starting to rot just a day after I got the box. Also common to have items missing. Cost is about the same as if I bought from my local store, but a worse value since it's not as fresh. Cancelled after 3 boxes.

My first order was exceptional. The choices were in keeping with my needs and the quality was very good. After that, the choices became mundane, especially in the "select 6 category", and the quality wasn't as good. My third delivery (after skipping a week because of the poor choices offered) was a big disappointment. Today I canceled my subscription. I will mask up and return to my local farmstead.

My first order shipped on time, arrived 3 days late due to bad weather, so reserved judgment on quality (quantity not particularly scant - about what expected) as several items were inedible due to having frozen then thawed. They did refund $6 of the $28 order when I reported it. Second order shipped/arrived on time but quality and quantity worse than first. No cooling pack in this box, inadequate packing material in an overly large box allows items to jostle and bruise to the point of mushiness. If all you ever order are root vegetables and hard squashes, might work well for you, but everything else is a disappointment.
