Grove

I had a few items in a order that were "Grove" branded products that were defective almost immediately upon their initial use. The only way you can reach this company with any issue is by email. I sent three of these emails over the course of several months and I received zero response. I used to purchase 90% of my household cleaning products from this brand and now have since halted any further purchases. Granted plenty of items I purchased were completely fine but since it's not my responsibility to eat the cost of their poorly designed or poorly manufactured products, I expected in the least the item to be replaced. Heck, a "I'm sorry" email would of been better then what they did to resolve the issue, which is absolutely nothing. Buyer beware. Nothing they sell is so exclusive that you couldn't get somewhere else or at least a very comparable version.

Grove Collaborative's advertising practices are dishonest, unethical, and misleading. Not only is the quality of their branded stock very low, you are led into believing you are making a one-time purchase when you are not only being subscribed to monthly purchases, but also opted-in to their "free for 60 days" VIP membership program. I made a single purchase on June 26,2019 in the amount of $24.29. I received an order shipment notification on July 30 for a charge of $70.20, for a shipment containing products I do not want or need.

In addition, the "cancel VIP trial" option is hidden behind several searches and links, not accessible from the account management pages. This is dishonest UX (user experience) design at its worst.

When I first started Grove I had no real problems. Recently there is something wrong with their shipping. It seems they make the shipping label but the item never gets shipped. The first time they told me it was lost in the mail, no big deal it was reshipped right away, the very next order it happened again. Customer service was very responsive and polite and reissued the box again right away along with a credit to my account. It's 3 days later ( email said it will go out in 24-48 hours) and the tracking number still says it has not been picked up just like the last 2 boxes.
Reading other reviews u see this is a recurring issue. I think I'm done with Grove, I can find similar products elsewhere

I was surprised that there were no reviews for Grove Collaborative - I have been receiving quality products at good prices for awhile now. There site is well run, very intuitive, and I have had no problems with shipments. They contact you when your next order is to be shipped - great communication. I have never had to contact customer service. It's a well oiled machine! Love the walnut sponges, natural bathroom & kitchen cleaners, and they have an amazing coconut lavender hand lotion you can't get anywhere else!

I love every item I've received from The Grove. Shipments have always arrived on time and in great condition. My only problem is reaching them. My app crashes every time I try to open it. Links in their emails crash as well. It's becoming a problem and I can find no phone number or email address to reach out to about these problems.

I was excited about these products and free gifts. Submitted a fairly large first order but noticed that some extras were added. Before checking out, I meticulously went through the lost and deleted items. I checked out and agreed to pay the $72. But then when it got the order email there were random items added that were not free, bringing my total up additional $20.

I called and immediately cancelled my trial membership and order. The scam nature of sneaking other items into my cart after check out didn't sit well with me.

The company add products we purchased before on the order form and we have to delete a bunch of items to order what we just need. Not sure if the intention is to be helpful but the pre-deletion order is somewhere like $180 and what we end up ordering is around $70 average. Rather start with an empty cart.

I like the idea behind Grove but at times I just feel like a number not a customer. They offer free trial items when you order a certain amount, which I do and NEVER get the freebie. Definitely disappointing! Shipping takes forever and you can't get ahold of anyone. It is time to up their game as there are other options

I have been a Grove customer for about 2 years, maybe 3? It started off really great, especially once I got the hang of checking my products with "subscriptions" so I wouldn't keep getting things I didn't need restocked yet. It is super smooth now. The shipping is several days longer now than it used to be (maybe pandemic related with more online orders). However, my biggest complaint is that in the last several months, I have consistently had issues with items in my order either being missing or spilled. Once, the issue was fixed by an account credit. The next time, I got no response. And the most recent time, I didn't didn't bother reaching out because I had already reached out a few times recently and the product not included was a "free with $x order" product. Since I started with Grove, not receiving the free item with minimum purchase has happened multiple times. I would say Grove is great MOST of the time, but expect to frequently be missing items. Their customer service is also *usually* good, despite the nonexistent response recently with a leaking product (cap was not on all the way, and UPS had box upside down).

The biggest turn off and why I stopped buying on their site is that everything you order gets thrown back into your cart for a monthly refill whether you need it or want it or not. So you have to remove these items every single time. You only learn this after they auto bill you for the order.

Next issue is the products are great and a fail depending on which, for example, their spray bottles are a great idea but they don't spray half the time. Spray nozzles have worked perfectly for decades and they an't get that right?

Too many other options to buy from these days so if it isn't easy, why bother? And I don't.

Sounds like Grove has a great mission and I wish them success. I thought it was weird to see their "European Hand towel" with a "made in China" label. I don't use enough product to warrant monthly delivery. I live near Target where I can purchase as needed. I feel the Grove passion so I will give 3 stars. Need more product offerings for me to return. Thank you!

I've used Grove for about two years now and was aware I had to always watch my cart for extras they sneak in there but was generally happy with the products. As of recent, the same order has been "damaged" in shipment and returned 4 times. I finally requested a full refund and to cancel. Grove needs to figure out the shipping issues and tell the customer what's going on. Don't say it's been shipped if it hasn't.

Was a fan of them early on, but the whole scheduled automatic shipments is really shady and confusing. Its very hard to tell what you're actually getting in an order, and if you're signing up for a one time order or subscription.

I found their site through a facebook ad and had been wanting some Meyer peppermint products. I placed an order not knowing I was signing up to get the same thing once a month and billed for it. I was finally able after a hassle to get that cleared up when I get a charge months later that came directly out of my bank account for a yearly subscription to their website! None of this is shown on your order, these business practices are extremely deceptive and you have to waste your time trying to put a stop to it when you realize what is happening. Buy your cleaning products somewhere else and save yourself a HUGE headache!:-(

I have been a Grove customer since last Fall and have received several shipments from them. I have loved every product I have tried. I now have my regular items that I order every month, and new things as well. I feel good about the all natural cleaning supplies and personal beauty products that I use. My only comment regarding an improvement might be that their web site is kinda slow... they could definitely step it up a bit there! But, I am a very satisfied customer and will continue my membership.

Hi there,
Have been with Grove for 2 years. Grove notes that they are committed to becoming plastic free yet many of their products continue to come in plastic bottles and their cloths are 80% polyester and 20% polyamides? Is Grove just another gimmick playing on people's desires to become environmentally responsible while continuing to do the same as any other company? If they can't truly stand up to their pledge to protect the environment how are they any different than any other brand name cleaning product company?

When I ordered I got a whole basket of free things! I was skeptical at first. But was I sooooo wrong?! I received my order in less than 5 days. I'll never go back to my other house hold products. I love the scents and how well they clean. The caddy I bought sits so beautifully in my kitchen it was all I was missing. I'm completely satisfied with the overall company, products and service. The box even had a personal note. How sweet?! You've got a lifetime supporter.
