I've tried several meal delivery services subscribing for 1-2 weeks. So far Sunbasket has had the best service I've tried.
I love their recipes. I don't care that stuff is "organic" (In fact I usually avoid buying organic and non-gmo due to concerns about the environmental impact and unsustainability of these inefficient methods) I have now had 2 boxes from Sunbasket, however, and the recipes were just better than the other services. Nice touches like a refreshing apple/mint salad and interesting spice blends or use of flavorings like lemon zest to make things pop. Even better, they send a full recipe booklet so I can try out the other recipes I didn't chose for the week!
The customer service however, is what motivates me to write a review. My first box got lost. I am sure I entered the address correctly, but it looks like it somehow got auto corrected and South 10th Street turned into South Street and I didn't notice til too late. I wrote that my box was missing and was immediately not only issued a credit for that week, but they pushed back my coupons so I would still get a discount on my next 2 weeks. I then went out and found my box, that had been sitting in the rain for 10 hours. Not only was it still in pretty good shape, the meat was so well packaged on a block of ice that everything was still good. I reported I had retrieved my box, but they didn't take back my credit, so I ended up with a free week. I haven't had to cancel yet, but I am impressed enough with the level of service and care to recommend them to my friends!
