“Their website did not save my customization options apparently, despite sending me a confirmation email that they've received my order. So they sent (and charged me for) a box of random garbage I did not need. Then instead of offering some sort of compensation, customer support sent me a condescending email explaining how to order customizations. Definitely do not recommend.”

“I couldn't even get the account set up. The site rejected my zip code and then my password didn't work. I requested an email to reset my password and still have not received it. After reading some of these reviews, I guess it is a sign that I should not use this service. Now I am glad there was a problem setting it up. It is a great idea, but, it sounds like they have some issues to resolve.”

“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.”

“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 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.”

“Terrible service, they don't hesitate to charge in time but their delivery are often late and with incorrect items in the box , including add on items that I paid extra. Their customer service answer is full of excuses of this poorly handled online store. Tried 3 times and they never got it right. Don't subscribe doesn't worth it!”

“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.”

“Just received our Misfits package. All of the gel cold packs were melted and leaked out. The produce was saturated with the liquid gel and some of the liquid even ended up on our floor. 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.”

The ice pack solution is nontoxic and is a specially formulated mix of two components (essentially food ingredients) that the FDA deems “Generally Recognized As Safe,” combined with water.

“Wow! I am not the only fool paying for a box of garbage each month. The first few boxes were great but way too many mangos, then they switched to picking what you want, I thought great. Only problem is pick potatoes and you get two of the very smallest you have ever seen. Greens are rotten, cucumber is so mushie not eatable unless I juice it. Great concept but better off doing instacart!”

“There's an old saying, "If it's too good to be true then it probably isn't''. I think that is very fitting for this. Ever since Covid came about, shopping online has been a priority and about 80% of what we need now, comes from online. I came across Misfits and thought what a great way to get fresh produce/fruits without having to go to the store! Wrong. We paid $22 for a box called 'Mischief' which included 12 items of your pickings. I think the vegies and fruit were up to 'mischief' while they were shipping. Not only did we not get all of our items but the vegies and fruits looked like they were on their last leg. Our 3 cucumbers and 1 tiny zuchini were limp, our 2 pears and 4 apples had deep cuts and bruises, our Kale was not included, our 1 onion had a deep gash in it, our 1 orange (yes 1 orange to be shared between 2 people) it was nearly dried up on the inside, 3 potatoes had more wrinkles than I do, our cabbage was about the only thing decent looking and the beets...'beet's me on what happened to them because they weren't even in the box. We recieved 9 of 12 items. So, having experienced this, and on the first time, I do not recommend anyone utilizing the program. For what we paid for what little we got, I could have gotten way more quantity and better quality by just going to the grocery store. Soon as I got done opening our box I cancelled the subscription.”
