“It's been almost a week and I said I would catch you up. I was given a 10% compensation for the missing produce on my next box. The produce thus far has been beautiful and delicious with only minor blemishes (apples and pears are hard and the cabbage had only a single bug in it (yes I check all of my greens for bugs)). I've never shopped this way before but they gage a week's worth of produce pretty well.”

“I loved my Misfits boxes! I was totally excited to get them and I have used vegetables that I would never have bought! (Celery root!-yum) Now I get to pick and choose my veggies/fruits—I almost like the surprise better! (I’d give 5 stars but I can’t use my coupons). Look at pics!”

“We were very happy with the vegetables. Huge radishes beautiful Kale and Collard greens. Some veggies were occasionally damaged they are misfits but for the most part no complaints. Freezing weather did affect them during the 2 snowstorms in the northeast and they credited us and added a different insulation rather than the thick paper. No problem there. I figured cold that could be a problem so just ordered vegetables that could take the extreme cold.Availability was frustrating as many vegetables offered were out and so you were choosing from a very limited list. I guess understandable. We tried to figure out the best day to order for more choices but it did not make a difference. The substitution in our last box was not so great as red leaf lettuce rots so quickly I dont buy it from the regular grocery store and I had ordered endive 2 heads no less and got 2 huge heads of red leaf lettuce half of which had to be tossed. The major problem we had this week we got a message saying that our bank refused the draw. We contacted the bank and we were told there was no attempt to draw. After multiple emails we missed our order day waiting for replies and in frustration to get it resolved my husband asked them to call to which he was told they are not set up for that. It seems they don't need our orders here and it is not worth it to them to get it straightened out.”

We're pleased to read you have enjoyed the produce we have sent to you. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback with us. We definitely do want you to be with us and would love to continue to send our boxes to you. We checked into this with our Customer Success team and after reviewing your charge history we re-confirmed that we did in fact attempt to charge for this order twice on 3/10/21. Due to the various scheduling and logistics requirements of shipping our boxes to arrive at your location, we are not able to attempt to bill your payment method a third time if the second charge attempt is also declined (https://help.misfitsmarket.com/en_us/my-payment-was-declined-SJdUwuYxu). Whenever we attempt to charge for our service we do not have control over whether the financial institution allows it to process or not. Therefore, this would need to be discussed with your financial institution as to what could be happening on their end. In the meantime, we welcome you to enter another payment method in your account to see if that helps for a future order. Instructions can be found on how to do this here: https://help.misfitsmarket.com/en_us/change-my-payment-method-rJRaNbmmP We appreciated you reaching out to our Customer Success team.

“This was my first order with MIsfits' Market. The produce was roughly the expected quality-- not perfect, but nice. The box is delivered via UPS with a cooler gel pack (I was impressed by that) The company claims that the Misfit Box has 12 types of produce-- enough produce for 1-2 people for about a week. According to my calculations, there is roughly enough for one person for 1-1.5 meals a day for a week. If you use a discount code, the price for the produce is close to what you would pay if buying the same products in a supermarket (so a song for organic produce). The biggest disappointment though is that they did not include all of the produce that I ordered (check the picture, there are 11 types of produce, and I was supposed to get 12). I did not get any warning that this may happen. I don't think that I will cancel my subscription just yet. I'm willing to give it another shot. Hopefully, next week will be better. Summary: $22+tax+shipping= (~$24) 12 types of produce for ~1 supper per day for a ~week for ~1 person. {(~)is a mathematical symbol meaning "about" or "nearly equivalent}”

Thanks for reaching out. We looked into your concerns with our Customer Success team. We were very excited when you joined us and we're disappointed this first order was delayed. Thank you so much for reaching out to our Customer Success team on 10/12/20. A Customer Success representative was happy to respond to you on 10/15/20 with a full refund and a credit towards a future order. After reviewing your account, we confirmed that you paused your subscription. Pausing a subscription requires you to choose a length of time between 1 and 6 months after which you’d like to resume your subscription. Canceling a subscription, on the other hand, is a different option that asks for no period of time before resumption as it immediately cancels future boxes. An email was sent to the email address associated with your account 1 week prior to resumption notifying you that the subscription was going to resume in the near future. We did not receive any communication from you until after this order was processed. As a courtesy, our Customer Success team did refund this order as well. We would have liked for you to experience one of our boxes and we do hope that in the future you will consider returning. If you have any questions for us, please let us know at https://www.misfitsmarket.com/contact-us.

“I would like to start by saying that this was our first order and we are not impressed. First, the delivery was scheduled for Friday and it only came on Saturday. The lettuce was not properly packaged and it arrived in 10+ separate pieces. The Bartlett pears are missing and we received ONE peach and ONE red plum but a ton of apples. The same goes for the red beets: just ONE, but a ton of carrots and potatoes. Plus, there were supposed to be 10-13 lbs of produce, but the box merely weighs 10 lbs including packaging and ice package. The produce seem fresh but the variety lacks. It should be at least 2 pieces of each. DISAPPOINTED!!!”

Thank you so much for your feedback. We always want our customers to be happy with what they receive from us. We're sorry you were disappointed in any way. 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, a box may be a little lighter in weight but will sacrifice nothing in terms of value. We're thankful you reached out to our Customer Success team so they could take a look at your box and resolve this for you. It has been a gift to have you with us and we've been pleased to send more of our boxes to you over the months.

“The first box we received from this company was 100% perfect and exactly what we wanted from a produce subscription box, at a wonderfully affordable price. However, between the USPS mail, Misfits moving to a new warehouse, COVID, and the website update--out of 4 weeks of boxes, including paid-for extras, we have not gotten a single order correctly from them. Missing items, or, in once case, ordered 1 item the second week and now it shows up with every box? The produce is cut, bruised, scratched and in some cases, rotten or mold covered by the time we open the box. Which on most occasions are dripping wet and no longer cold. I am not sure what is going on with Misfits, but I am disappointed. The 5th box may be our last.”

“I was very excited to try Misfits market. It was cheaper than imperfect foods, and it seemed that I would get a great selection of produce. I ordered the smaller box and received my order on time, and still cool from the ice pack included. However, as we pulled out the items and got to the bottom of the box, we were very disappointed in the amount we received. For almost $30, I expected to get more than what I got. We received 4 oranges, 3 apples, 2 jicama roots, 1 red onion, 2 poblano peppers, 2 beets, a small bag of fingerling potatoes, and 1 cucumber. Also included was strawberries, but I paid extra for those. I was disappointed that I did not get ANY salad greens or peaches/apricots. I intentionally did not buy salad greens, assuming I would receive at least one item in my misfits box this week. I WILL be canceling my subscription.”

“I would give a zero stars for customer service if it were possible. Got about 5 boxes. Waited over a month for the first delivery but my cc was billed instantly. They kept changing the start date of my subscription. Don’t like that. Next they change my delivery date to Sunday. When the box arrived, the produce was fine. The packaging stinks. Everything is wet when it arrives because they pack it with ice packs and brown paper. I was done damp that I had to place the potatoes and onion on paper towel and air dry them. That’s annoying. 2 weeks ago I got rotten broccoli. My husband threw it out. I write to them. No response. Write 4 days later, I write again . No response. In each cases received an automatic message that they’ll get back to me. Today, I get an email that because so much time has passed, they closed my case! What kind of customer service is that!!!! They implemented a new customer complaint form so I had to now submit my complaint yet a third time. Since the box with the rotten broccoli, I received another with badly bruised peaches and green peppers that look like rot may have been cut of since they had surgically removed areas. Overall, I’m very upset with customer service. I don’t appreciate getting rotten food to make up the weight limit. The next order is billed the day that I get my shipment so that it’s billed before I see how good or bad the current order it. It bills automatically on the day the box arrives so I would have to cancel 2 weeks in advance. I wonder if that is deliberate. That’s all the bad. The good- despite the rotten items, It is still cheaper than the supermarket. I only shop organic so I know how expensive it is. Also, every week there are different items. I think that they try to maintain a tremendous variety and things fall threw the cracks. They even send root balled plants. I just wish that they would identify them. The variety is extremely diverse. In fact, the first few orders they sent the yellow Mexican mangoes. I was not a big fan of mangoes until I tried those. Last time, the box didn’t contain these mangoes so I ordered them from While Foods- I’m Hooked! That’s something that I would not have discovered on my own. You can cancel at anytime and You are not obligated to do coop time helping out as I was when I signed with a local produce coop. So overall, it’s a mixed bag (in this case, box). For the time being my subscription is still active. I’m taking it week by week (or every two weeks by two weeks because of the billing cycle).”

We appreciate your review and taking the time to share this feedback with us. Our Customer Success team is dedicated to our customers and their experience. We're disappointed you experienced any delay in response. At the time of your outreach, our Customer Success team experienced a rapid uptick in requests. However, our team was happy to reach out, confirm you still needed help with your response, and make sure to address your concerns. When you placed your first order, there was a hold in place on new orders because of the demand created by the pandemic. We wanted to make sure that we could not only serve our existing customers during that time but also responsibly take on new customers in a way that would be fair to both. Therefore, we initiated the hold on new orders and made sure to set expectations around when the first order would ship through communication on our website, in emails, and on our blog. In some cases, we had to push back the date of the first shipment for new customers that had been placed on hold as we implemented evolving safety protocols. We let customers know when this was the case, as we always want to make sure our customers stay informed of any changes so we try our best to offer multiple touchpoints where it's accessible. We're sorry for any produce that was affected in transit. We pack every box fresh the day it is picked up by our third-party shipping partner. We also include materials intended to keep our boxes fresh throughout the journey. We are very pleased to know you see the savings in the produce you received.

“My latest delivery has prompted me to research what others are saying about this company & the quality of produce that is delivered. It seems that they send the best produce to new customers to get them hooked then gradually the quality declines. For the last three weeks, I have received rotting over-ripe fruit and vegetable in my box. Some were beyond, edible. Rotting summer squash, celery - limp & dry, mangos so mushy I could put my finger right through them and most of the other items were on the verge of rotting. I revived the lettuce & kale in water as them were limp & dry. Thanks for sharing. You would be amazed at the difference between my first & last delivery. I could only upload one pic - this is from my recent delivery.”

“I've had a different experience than most although I will say it was better when I started. From time to time I expect a piece of fruit or single vegetable to not arrive in great shape - no, I don't have money to burn but this is organic food send in a box in a truck. I'm reasonable. Usually, when I have said something, they have been responsive, sometimes very quickly, sometimes not, but still reasonable, and they have always credited me. When I had trouble two week sin a row and they didn't get back to me on the first of those two weeks the subsequently credited me not the usual 10% but 25% and that was satisfactory. Since the pandemic, yes, it's been slower and less predictable both in terms of responsiveness (I am waiting for my box due last Thursday right now and it's Monday, even though they tell me they have received this week's order which in theory should ship two days from now but undoubtedly won't) and in quality, and I am being as reasonable and flexible as I can but am becoming more disappointed. Nonetheless on balance I can't rate them less than three. I do feel they have strayed somewhat from their initial mission and it's no longer about food waste as they supply so many non organic veggie and fruit "pantry items" and dry goods. Also how many things coming labeled not from local farms is trickling in as well. I don't really have the option of going to every two weeks being in a vegan household - we need our veggies, and if I have to go out for them, why am I bothering? However I will remain patient throughout the pandemic and trust things will pick up for the summer.”

“DON'T SIGN UP OR CREATE AN ACCOUNT!!!!! They have no plan selection options/page. I thought I was signing up at no charge, per their website marketing, and got placed, without my consent, into a weekly shipment plan and charged $89. There's no option to remove your card information, and there is no way to contact customer service beyond filling out a form. I canceled my account, but I don't know if that's actually going to stop anything else from happening. I'm going to have to notify my bank not to accept further charges from them. I'm also going to report them to every regulatory agency I can. This is blatant stealing and false advertising. I only gave them an extra star because they refunded me the money they took.”

“Initially I was a big fan of Misfits Market when I started using them around 2020 or 2021. Their produce was somewhat comparable to store prices and you could get some really neat deals on random pantry items. I was also really about their mission with sending you 'slightly imperfect' produce that was still perfectly good. In transparency, I see a lot of complaints on here are about the regular recurring subscription box - I did not opt for that, just the option to shop as needed with the weekly window, where sometimes I'd build a box, and sometimes I wouldn't. Sadly over just my few years as a customer I've seen the prices skyrocket. I get that inflation is a thing, but for example - there was this croissant bread that is THE BOMB which I loved, and initially it was on sale for around $4.00 the first time I tried it. Now the price has steadily increased and it's on their site for $8.69, which isn't even a savings. I really would love to still support reducing food waste and buying my produce in a box that reduces single-use plastic, but I can't justify using them anymore. Their prices plus the shipping costs mean that you do NOT save money compared to the grocery store, which is supposed to be the whole premise. I think they started trying to take on too much when they expanded to having way more pantry items, cold pack, etc. When it was mostly produce and random items at deep discount, it was more fun to shop because it was like a 'treasure hunt' and you didn't know what you'd find at, say, 60% off. Too many things at too high of prices make the site overwhelming to shop - kind of like they are trying to be Thrive Market but not as good. (I shop with Thrive periodically too but only when there are really good deals and I have a free student membership). My experiences with customer service have always been satisfactory. I've been very frustrated a few times where items were missed, items were damaged (shattered glass of olives, leaking bag of chicken), and they refund you without batting an eye if you just contact them. The most frustrating thing that has ever happened is one of my boxes got totally lost and no one knew where it was. These things happen and probably most if not all of them are the shipping provider's fault and not Misfits.”

“I'm writing this a bit prematurely but I'm going to either pause or cancel my subscription after my *first* (partial) shipment until I can have more confidence in this company. I ordered a huge amount of food, $194 excellent deal. I'm postCOVID and, with "long haulers" (it's a thing —you'll hear more about it soon), figured I need to eat as healthy as possible, still too sick to go out... I was psyched at finding this 'solution'. They sent two packages, two tracking numbers, via LaserShip (replace last letter with a T, more accurate). One of them got hung up in the system and LaserShip's all-but-useless virtual assistant told me it was an invalid number. The other one was ***left on the ground outside my tower building of hundreds of tenants after not even reflecting an "Out For Delivery" status.*** Luckily, a staff member saw/retrieved it and phoned me to come downstairs. This was after I'd seen bad reviews and put in special delivery instructions to NOT LEAVE IT outside my door without knocking. Sooo... since Misfits insists on using such an unreliable logistics service (and, in my city, FedEx isn't much better)... I just don't have time to play around with these people. I'm hoping I get the other box ok tomorrow...? Btw, their packing is terrible too. All my pantry products were filthy with lettuce dirt and, on the bottom, things were mashed up pretty badly. I mean... some brown paper *layers* maybe...???”

Thank you so much for ordering with us. We're sorry about any confusion regarding the delivery status of this order. The tracking information provided by our third-party shipping partners can take up to 24 hours to update after movement of your package. Since you are receiving two boxes for this order, you would receive two tracking numbers and the status of where they are in their journey may be different depending on when each tracking number is updated. However, they both will be delivered to you and we're sorry if one of these boxes experienced a delay. Due to the current pandemic, many carriers have modified their delivery protocols and may not always come to your door. In general, all carriers are obliged to deliver parcels to the recipient's location (lobby, entry, or office in an apartment building) but are not required to follow special instructions. However, we will certainly note this with them on your behalf. Thank you for contacting our Customer Success team so they can check into your concerns. We use packaging intended to keep your produce fresh and protected in transit. We also pack every box fresh the day it is picked up by our shipping partners. We're disappointed any of your produce was affected in a negative way and our support team definitely wants to take a closer look at this so it does not happen again. We currently provide support via email and do not offer phone support. However, our team is more than capable to assist our customers via email.

“This is the second time I tried Misfit markets, hoping it would be a better experience. It was actually worse. Out of the box of produce I received, I was able to eat 3 of the vegetables. The Cucumbers, Tomatoes, rutabaga, yellow squash and onions were all spoiled, not even close to being fresh. It was very disappointing and expensive. I would have never chosen this produce on my own. In fact it would have been taken out of any reputable store as too bad to sell. Never again.”

“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.”
