Great food!
December 4, 2021

Great recipes. Amazing food. Easy to prepare. Overall 10 in my opinion. During the quarantine/pandemic my 12 year old son learned how to cook by making my sun basket dinners each night. It was safely delivered to my house and we ordered 3-4 meals per week. My son and I will keep ordering! Thanks!

When I was trying to cancel my subscription last week, the only thing I could find on their website to cancel was to send an email to *******@sunbasket.com. I emailed them well before the deadline for the next box to be shipped. I have proof of the email sent, but I never received a confirmation. I then get a notification yesterday that I was charged 78 dollars for a delivery next week... are you kidding me?! Now they are saying they won't refund me because the payment was already put through, even though the box hasn't even shipped yet according to the tracking information on the FedEx website. Definitely sticking to HelloFresh after this whole thing... it's ridiculous that I won't get reimbursed for a mistake made on THEIR end.

Gave it a shot hoping it might be better than blue apron. Ingredient came rotten. After initial order updated to skip future delivery. Apparently not that was not updated properly and got charged for it. Once charged they say they cannot cancel even though they don't ship for 5 or 6 days.

Hello Dong, thank you for your review. We are very sorry that one of our ingredients arrived to you in bad form. We have sent you a private message to ascertain which ingredient that was and compensate you accordingly. We are also sorry that you experienced trouble with our Thursday 12 pm Pacific cutoff time! That cutoff is vital to our operations and allows us to provide the best possible service to our customers. We do, however, appreciate your feedback on this and will be passing along internally for further discussion.

I was unable to get anybody on the phone. The texting service and email service do not reply to the issue you talked about. They charged me shipping when the shipping should have been free. The order came a day late and the meats were completely thawed out. The customer service may be horrible due to the virus. However, I have learned my lesson and will not try a food delivery service again. It's easier just to do a pick up at Food Lion or Walmart.

New owners?
July 3, 2020

I have been a customer since 2015. The last few months it seems the service has changed dramatically. My orders have not arrived and the last one has completely wrong dinners and then half of the ingredients were missing. I agree that getting in touch with them is virtually impossible.

Love Sunbasket!
October 5, 2021

I love to cook delicious food with fresh ingredients, and Sunbasket helps me to do that every week. The recipes are delicious, not too complex to prepare on a weeknight, and the ingredients are organic. Meals are satisfying and nutritious, even my kids have become adventurous eaters because this food is so good. I love picking my menu and knowing that I'm going to love any option; the variety & spices have kept me happy for a year and a half. I'm a very satisfied customer!

I cannot believe how much they charge compared to the quality of the commodities. Groceries are usually in poor shape when they arrive and do not last more than two days for produce. The prep times listed should be doubled. I have worked in commercial kitchens for 30 years and have yet to do a meal in the time suggested.

Hi Kevin, thank you for your feedback and we will be sharing your recipe feedback with our Culinary team. We also would like to have the chance to look into your feedback with the produce received. As with organic produce, they tend to have a shorter shelf life than conventional items. We sent you a direct message and hope to hear back from you.

I have tried most all of the meal kit delivery services (blue apron, home chef, sun basket, green chef and plated) and by far Sun Basket is the worst one. Not only is the customer service terrible but it's more expensive than most others while the ingredients are of the same or lower quality. I received wilted produce and rotten fish and "customer service" would only refund $10. I recommend any of the other meal services mentioned above instead of Sun Basket

Hi Anna, we're so sorry to hear that you received ingredients you were unable to enjoy. Since our ingredients are organic(no-GMO's), predicting their shelf-life is a bit finicky but, our Team works hard to make sure quality is not an issue. Should we ever miss that mark, we encourage all customers to reach out to us so we may correct it and compensate the account accordingly. So we may further look into this, we have sent you a direct message. We hope to hear from you soon!

So far my favorite
March 11, 2018

So far SunBasket is my favorite - good quality food, easy to follow recipes, less packaging than Hello Fresh. Also egg free, soy free, and gluten free options. Even if you don't continue the service, you will get some really good recipes to do over and over again :)

Delivery was fine and boxes are well insulated with dry ice so the food stays fresh in hot weather. The non-oven direct meals were a bit involved so prep wasn't quick. Ingredients were all good, healthy and fresh, but unfortunately after perhaps 10 meals, I didn't find any that I'm really interested in eating again. It's not that the food is bad, it's just bland and not wildly delicious as they advertise. I've had Trader Joe's frozen food which while not as healthy, tastes better. Also had an issue with one of the ice bags leaking from the box onto our wood floor, that's annoying and hopefully it hasn't damaged it.

Hi Ken, thank you for your review. Although our baskets do not contain dry ice, our partner Rastelli's butcher boxes do. We also thank you for giving our meals a try; we'll be sure to forward your feedback to our team. If you're ever in need of assistance, please feel free to reach out to us!

Don't do it
November 15, 2020

I bought two gift cards for friends through Sun Basket. I thought they'd be decent since Williams Sonoma is promoting them on their website. Both recipients had terrible customer service experiences. When their orders didn't come up to the $100 I gifted them, Sun Basket wouldn't refund them (or me, the buyer) the $20 balances. They only want subscriptions, they don't care about someone who places a single-meal order, even as a gift. I have no idea how the food is; one recipient was so upset she told me to cancel and get a refund.

My Favorite!
December 4, 2021

Best meal kit delivery service. All products are fresh and the meals aren't boring. Definitely recommend. I also like how you can add things from the market if you're just not feeling any of the kits. I've also never had a bad fresh and ready meal, the cauliflower Mac is my favorite. We just recently started stocking the short rib burgers too, soooo good.

I enjoy sun basket
March 13, 2018

I first signed up for sun basket in early 2017. Its been my favorite meal delivery out of all of them. The meals are unique and still made in a reasonable amount of time. However, as of 2018 their menus have changed. They now charge extra for organic, when this is supposed to be an organic brand to begin with! Now the box costs over $80 per week. I'm sorry but I can go to trader joe's and spend that same amount and have food for a week without having to eat out at all. I will most likely be canceling my membership.

Hi Audrina, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences with us. We're so sorry for any confusion our price change may have caused. Sun Basket is focused on providing fresh, clean, free of systemic and harmful pesticides, and non-GMO produce as well as free range, grass fed, antibiotic and hormone free meats and proteins. To maintain these standards, we had to slightly increase our prices by. 50 cents per serving and just $1 more to our shipping charge. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause as we are trying to improve all of our member's Sun Basket experience. We understand that it is a competitive market and we hope our values such as sustainability, giving back the community, and money back guarantee sets us apart from the rest.

SunBasket is one of my favorites. I love the variety and ease of the recipes.
I used them for over 2 years. When I needed to cancel due to a move, it was super easy. Now that I'm able, I'm re-starting with them again.

Bad customer support
April 30, 2020

Charged before sending your order to you. After trying the first order - we canceled but they had already taken our $80 from our credit card. Guess we are stuck with the next order but very disappointed so far with the first 2 meals we received. I can do better in the grocery stores. Too expensive - not good quality of food and tastes bland. Hello Fresh was far superior to this company.

Hi Kathy! We apologize you did not enjoy our recipes but we thank you for reaching out and for your feedback! We do process billing a week prior to sending a delivery; similar to all postal delivery services. We also have a cutoff time of every Wednesday 12pm PST to process order requests. Within the 'Welcome' email, we recommend all subscribers to manage their account by scheduling or skipping deliveries. So we may further look into this and to forward your feedback, we've send you a direct message. We hope to hear from you soon!

We've been getting Sunbasket for the past five years and I have to say, we've never appreciated it more than we have during the pandemic. Knowing we have healthy, delicious, flavorful AF meals to look forward to at the end of an uncertain day has been a certain comfort.

Sunbasket makes an effort to provide the healthiest, most organic, most delightful, high cuisine options out there. And when you can't get to your favorite restaurant like in 'normal' times, this has been the best alternative we could possibly imagine. Thank you Sunbasket! We love you!

Cheers to more delicious recipe's!
