Terrible service

I have used The Veg Box Company on a number of occasions in the past, never had a problem. However, I ordered fruit, veg and a meat box on the 15/09/24, it was due to be delivered on 18/09/24 - it did not arrive as planned. I did contact the company by phone and they replaced the fruit and veg part of the order it arrived quite quickly. It is now over 3 weeks on and I still haven’t received the meat part of my original order. I have emailed and messaged to no avail, no response whatsoever, despite the promise to redeliver the meats ordered ( whilst on the phone, the one time they actually answered), this service is not acceptable, I can not afford to be out of pocket. This needs rectified asap - I have asked for my order to be sent or a refund.

Don’t waste your time, use another veg company

I made an order on 16th august and it arrived with some issues, it wasn’t fresh. I sent an email and I was met with a response from Guy which seemed very nice with good customer service until the replacement he gave me never arrived when he said it would. I sent various emails which got ignored, then I finally got another back saying it’s being sent but I still haven’t received it and I’m being ignored again now, over a month later. I suggested “is a refund easier” rather than resending (I was trying to be considerate of the additional costs to them to resend) but I still got ignored. I have never had bad customer service with other veg companies, they always rectified issues in a timely manner and stuck to their word, so unfortunately i’ll go back to using those and i’ll completely avoid using the veg box now, which is a shame, but they’re not as good as they used to be and I won’t be recommending them again. If a company doesn’t have the time to tend and care to their customers then I don’t have time for them. If you want poor produce and poor customer service then this is the place for you. I’ve learned my lesson and it’s a shame I’ve had to leave a negative review rather than a positive one.

Seven weeks ago I ordered a box for my friend who had a knee replacement. The courier reported order was refused although it was never delivered. I have told them 6 times they have the wrong postcode. On Thursday they apologised for delay. Gave a time for the new delivery. Guess what it didn’t arrive. This is a fresh product delivery what a DPD doing with the orders. This is diabolical !!!!

Reply from The Veg Box Company

Hi I am sorry this happened. We sent the order out the address that was provided by yourself. It was only when we sent the order out a third time you let us know postcode you had left on the order was incorrect. We then changed this and the order was delivered correctly.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

no answer to any of my means of trying to get you.

Urgent. I have been phoning, emailing and every other way to contact you but nothing back. I have ordered 2 boxes including lean meat and paid for them but only one arrived to Paul in Guildford. I have not received my above box and its now August. This is the first problem I have had but no one has had the decency to even call me to let me know what has gone wrong. Sue Southampton

Box arrived on time thankyou

Box arrived on time thankyou.
4 bananas - only 1 edible, 3 were badly bruised & squishy, went in bin.
Carrots we're soft & big black spots on them. Description said seasonal veg, I didn't expect cauliflower & soft broccoli, did have tomatoes but no other salad veg sadly.
The other contents were lovely thanks.
