    A little disappointed

    First time buyer and was excited to receive my boxes, initial reaction that it was packed okay but as I started to unpack more I found that some of my items had been squashed, bruised, had soft spots on the fruit and a few items missing from the order as well. Going from the packing slip states that I got nectarines and peaches, kiwifruit and a tomato punnet, and a packet of jasmine rice which weren’t there.

    If there were substitutions made I would have like to be notified by having it written on the actual packing slip. Saves future complaints.

    Delivery was prompt and packing could have been better. I wouldn’t have minded if my boxes had been split so my meat was in one and my fruit and veges were in another. May have saved some of the quality.

    Hi Jess

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear about the issues with your order. I understand how disappointing it can be when items are damaged or missing. We always aim to provide the best quality, and it seems we missed the mark this time.

    I agree that it would have been helpful to know about any substitutions, and I’ll make sure to pass this feedback along to the team so we can improve the process in the future.

    We would love the opportunity to make this right for you. I will follow up further over email. Thanks again for your honest feedback — it helps us get better!

    Sub Par

    Meals come with no instructions, most meals were flavourless which was a bummer too.

    Essentials Dinner Box

    Very happy with this box for my family, pity that instead of the Irish lamb stew meal we received the pulled pork again. Other than that my family of 3 boys enjoyed it
