Bulk Buy
May 16, 2022

If you want to buy items in bulk then boxed.com is the site to go. They have a variety of items available at reasonable prices. However, not all items are cheap when compared to certain other websites but many are. My order arrived intact and on time.

Bad
September 20, 2022

Boxed is not the cheapest option to buy snacks and food. They're prices are scams and so are their deals. You might think you're getting a good deal until you compare it with other sites and close out stores.

This is the 3rd time I've recieved my order in terrible shape. Their customer service is unresponsive and gives you the runaround when trying to request a refund. Just stick with Amazon, a company that understands how to put things in appropriate boxes for the shipment.

I ordered an item described as a wicker cooler/ picnic seat. In the photo, it looked like wicker. In reality, it is a cheap, polyurethane covered item with a wicker print. They will not do a return or refund. I will not order anything but grocery or drugstore type items in the future, since they don't do returns on UNUSED merchandise. Beware! What is described may not be the realty of an item.

I recently purchased 20 Mrs Dash seasoning. When I received my items were gonna expire in a month. I asked to return and get a refund. They told me that I could not return this item and they gave me credit for half...credit with them not money back. Shame on you. You sent me close dated product and won't except a return/refund! I run a kitchen and needed this product now i'm stuck with outdated items.

Company gave up
April 7, 2023

I placed two orders recently. When order #1 took much longer to ship than expected I decided to cancel order #2. My requests to cancel order 2 were ignored because the order shipped anyway. I don't recommend buying from this company. Customer service is nonexistent.

They are a scam
March 30, 2023

I spent over $50.00 and have not gotten my order in over 4 days... says I should have gotten it in 2 to 3... they don't have a phone number to talk to a human... I call this a scam. Buy your stuff from Amazon.

Fuel Surcharge?
September 18, 2022

I have noticed that their prices have gone up on every item by a few dollars which adds up pretty quickly. Their prices were not even competitive before the increase. Costco and BJs are way cheaper for the same item. Some are almost double the price here. The kicker is that now they are also adding on a $1.99 fuel charge to every order. Way to rip your customers off.

I placed and order on 23 March and after a week I reached out to see where my order was. On the 30th I received this response
"Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you for placing your order at Boxed. We are currently experiencing higher than usual order volume and as a result, your shipment was caught in a delay. We are very sorry about this and any inconvenience this delay may cause! Rest assured that we're working as fast as we can to get your order delivered by next week.
Again, we're so sorry about this experience with us and we appreciate your patience regarding this matter. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
Thank you,
Dan from Team Boxed"

Then today on the 3rd of April, they cancelled my order with no reason given.

I would not recommend buying from this company and I'd look elsewhere.

My brother told.me bout BOXED 2 yrs ago & I started using them. Last yr. They're always late & my pakgs torn open on inside & getting to expensive! They never apologize, act as if they're doing you a favor whens its your money! I wouldn't recommend them to anyone! Its a rip off! They're a business, yet they let someone tell them how to treat certain individuals! Not in control of their so called business are they? Hope they HAVE A NICE DAY!

The worst customer service ever.
January 7, 2021

Step dad ordered me stuff for my new apartment. Risk team flagged it and now I'm not allowed to even have an account. We're a blended family with 3 last names between us. The email they sent back said have a nice life. Not kidding. Not paraphrasing.

I had never heard of this company until I google looking for Lysol. Hello Boxed-up, GOOD Bye Amazon. They had the Lysol I was looking for for months, and it was also at an extremely affordable price. My order arrived via UPS within two business days. I will be a returning customer from here on out. Awesome first time experience. Thank you!

Very pleased with this service!
October 4, 2021

Very pleased with this service! Boxed offers higher quality and healthier food and household items than my local warehouse store offers, all delivered to my door with excellent communication along the way. I heard about this place years ago, and regret waiting so long to give them a try.

We received our order and on opening the box found that the honey was loosely packed being tossed around the box and leaking honey over everything inside. See attached photos. Wrote the company several times with no response. You would figure for a $600.00+ order they would have made sure it was right. Never again... Thank you

I placed the order three business days ago and it's still processing. When I tried to contact them about it the email slot I had to fill out kept saying invalid email so I'm not even able to contact them to find out wth is going on with the money I have spent or where my purchase is or when it will be coming. Hell, if it comes at all? Who knows? Thanks boxed.com

First time customer
March 14, 2021

Found Boxed via Google search for a specific product. Their site was easy to navigate, items price-competitive, and I placed an order. The company's communication was superb, the items were carefully packed, and delivery was smooth and prompt. Will buy from again. :)

Freebie Switch

I asked for 2 coffee samples and got a mini-V8. But -- I can't really complain; it was still free!

Other than that, Boxed is great! It's so convenient, and the prices are competitive. Keep up the good work!

Prices way too high
January 23, 2022

After reviewing some of their prices, absolutely not ever buy from this company. You can beat their prices everyday at Walmart or Target. Example 12 double rolls of Bounty paper towels $27 Boxed, $21 at Target.
That's serious dollars folks and I live on retirement fixed income. If you have money to burn and can put up with crappy customer service and damaged goods, this bunch is for you. Buyer beware!

Down hill
April 7, 2018

I've ordered from Boxed for 2 years.
It used to be a great company... great products at good prices. Good communication and prompt shipping.
Now... it really sucks. Poor products, close to expiration dates, missing items, slow ship, sometimes order doesn't even show up at all. Tired of dealing with their poor customer service.
I will be taking my business elsewhere.

My husband told me that he saw an ad, this morning about boxed. So, i went to their site and started going through the stuff i get. The first few things i looked up. Paper towels about 50% more, toilet paper about 25% more, bottle water about 60% more, cookies 75% more, than what i pay at any of my local grocery stores. I shop at Walmart, Target, Tops, and Wegmans. I dont know what big cities like NYC local grocery stores prices are, but where i live. Boxed is definitely not worth it. Its much cheaper to order online and pay a delivery company to deliver to you. The only thing i see is a company trying to rip people off.
