Purple CarrotReviews 52

Had a few boxes go bad. Tried to get a hold of them and no one responded! Very disappointed! If you have a problem good luck!

No customer service on weekends. They lose your boxes and don't provide pictures of delivery. The food is not worth the hassle. 0 stars.

I have tried two different frozen meals found in Publix. The second is pictured here. I followed all directions, and each time I ended up with tasteless Mush. The vegetables were barely recognizable, and those that were were either awful or tasteless. There will not be a third attempt.

They sent 2 boxes totaling 600 dollars to the wrong address on an old profile that hasn't been used in years and refuse to cancel the account before sending out the second box due to missing it by one day. No refund no new box. 600 bucks rotting on some random persons porch lol Jesus how inept can one company be

This was my 1st purchase through Purple Carrot reason being I have a elderly vegetarian mother that is no longer able to cook. I thought this would be great however the 1st dish had a small u shaped hair in it and the 2nd meal had a 5 inch gray hair in it. Sadly my mom was not able to eat her dinner. After speaking with customer service they stated there is no account with my info? Weird as I was charged but they have no record?

I signed up for a trial of Purple Carrot back in 2019. More recently, I signed up for another one again, with a second email address. In the process of cancelling the second trial, I accidentally logged into the first account (created in spring 2019), did some clicking around bc I was confused, then saw it was the wrong account and logged out.

Somehow, the act of logging into this first account led it to reactivate. This means that Purple Carrot went ahead and charged me $90, even though I was not notified I had ordered anything, nor did I even receive a receipt for this purchase. I only noticed bc I saw the charge on my credit card statement. This is almost certainly illegal and regulators should investigate the company.

However, when I contacted customer service, they were helpful in replying, and while they tried to claim it was fine to charge me $90 without telling me, they did refund my money.

The food itself is fine -- it's good, but def not worth the full sticker price of something like $12-16 per 400-calorie frozen meal.

I cancelled my service. Then they claimed I did not and charged me 88$ for food I could not eat because it contained gluten. I called them to dispute cancel the day I received it. Then they claimed I never cancelled but only temporarily suspended my orders. They agreed to cancel but charged me again for the following week with more food I could not eat. When I contacted customer service, they played coy, and overlooked the fact that I had called to dispute the initial charge, while they were charging me again. They pulled up records of conversations which verified nothing, and continued to lean on "policy" as well as twisting facts. Essentially, they lied several times and got another 176$ out of me. I am now having to cancel my cards and change all of my billing assignments to avoid further charges. I would AVOID them like the plague!

I am honestly shocked at how poor the customer service is at Purple Carrot. I expected more from a company that seems to market itself as a higher quality line in food delivery. The food was good - that deserves a star but I can get food elsewhere and be appreciated and taken care of as a customer.

Had a couple of decent meals but some of my meals were missing key ingredients. When I reached out to them they offered a very small refund and said they only refund for the ingredient missing. The whole meal was ruined because of not having the proper stuff but I don't get refunded for the actual meal. Not sure what sense that makes.

I've been with Purple Carrot for years but they always have problems with login when you need to cancel and charge you even when you don't want a box that week (due to their technical difficulties). Then does not refund you or stop your order even if it hasn't shipped yet. They don't care and there's always something missing from the box which they won't send back out to you nor refund you a portion of your meal even though ingredients are missing. On top of that now they charge you $10 for shipping so you're paying $90 for 3 meals for 2 people that you have to spend at least 45 minutes preparing. This is for no meat or dairy so I don't know why it's so expensive. There's so many better meal kits out there so I canceled my account today and won't be coming back!

I've never had an experience like this and have used multiple meal kit companies. I would never recommend this one. I tried to cancel online after my first order, it must have not gone through. I reached out to support and received a confirmation on 1/24 that my account and subscription have been cancelled as it didn't work online.

Then yesterday 1/30, I see another charge on my account with a box is in transit. I reached out to support, hoping they could refund me since I cancelled the subscription and account already, they said they can't do it as the box is in transit and they won't own up to the fact it should have already been cancelled. Attaching proof of cancellation 7 days ago below, far before the new box was in transit.

This is now TWO boxes I'm paying for after attempting to cancel. Again, I've never seen anything like this with a food service. Please issue me a refund and I will gladly delete this review.

The premade food was so-so in my opinion but the pre- portioned food to be cooked by me IS EXCELLENT! I absolutely love it. I have been using for approx 1 month. I tried 3 other delivery services prior and had late deliveries, wrong deliveries- no issues w/ purple carrot! I have NEVER followed a recipe before in my life. Here is a photo of last nights fettuccine w/ artichoke hearts.

I have never bought food that you MUST use a microwave, It was disheartening to see after I bought the 2 meals home that I HAVE to use a microwave to cook the meals. I no longer own a microwave. I wasted my money.

I ordered a week's worth of meals four weeks ago. I received an email apologizing for a delay, then waited for a delivery the following week. Two weeks past. I followed up and found out that Purple Carrot deleted my account. I signed up and they ghosted me. I sent them a message today, but I am fed up and I have been ghosted.

I've been a purple carrot customer for about 6 weeks. First i tried the premade meals. Most of which were excellent. Some of them, like "chills verde" wasn't my favorite and went in the trash…but you gotta try stuff to see if you like it. Mostly, I liked a good amount of the premade meals.
The problem with the premade food is, it NEVER changes. There is no variety. The meals are always the same. I got sick of the same food after 3 deliveries.
So! I decided to try the meal prep kits bc I got a free box to send to a friend. I sent it to my son who lives with me, to see if it'd be something he'd eat.
Meal kits are EXCELLENT. I didn't think I'd like most of the meals bc they have mushrooms or onions or red peppers or kale. BUT! I just omit that stuff and the meals are still really good. The other great thing is the meals for 2 people are HUGE! Like, enough for 4 ppl. If you add Tofu or rice to some of them, it's even MORE food. I totally feel like I'm getting my money's worth. The meals take about 20 minutes max to make. I just prepare a few of them 2-3 days ahead so I have food for all week. The Ingredients are great, fresh, yummy. I wish you could just order their meals premade but….
I now do a mix of premade and meal kits. I've lost 15 pounds since I went vegan and I feel great. I'm a total forever fan of PC!

I placed an order and waited. On delivery day I was notified my order had arrived. Nope, nothing had arrived. I contacted them about the lost shipent and they accused me of trying to scam them. Said I sent the order to another address which was not my home address. Said it was totally my fault my order did not arrive. They admitted at one point that they get frequent complaints about this issue. They granted me a "one time courtesy credit" to my account but not a refund. Then they told me my next order would be shipped to the same wrong address but I did not take responsibility to correct "my mistake". And they would not provide any credit or refund. I never approved a second order. And it was still a week until that supposed "order" would ship. I emailed to explore a supervisor about the issue. The response was the same BS about my not being competent enough to enter my own address in the order. And they would take no responsibility for "my mistakes". I locked my credit card to prevent them from making any additional charges against my account. I will be taking this up with my credit card company. This organization is a total SCAM. BEWARE!
