I gave two stars because when you actually receive your meals, most of the recipes are quite good and easy to follow. However, this is only when you receive your meals. I was a Marley Spoon customer for a little over two years. There were too many times where ingredients were missing from meals or when they forgot to pack an entire meal altogether. Sometimes a month would go by and there were no problems, but then you would get 4-5 weeks in a row where there was an issue with the order. But then several months ago, things got worse, and there were weeks where we didn't receive our order at all. The worst part was that Marley Spoon would never contact us to apologize and let us know our... Read More

MarleySpoon is terrible. I have been charged for 3 boxes and only received one. The food in the box I did receive was not very good. I have tried Home Chef and Simply Fresh and they are both better than MarleySpoon. Home Chef ingredients and meals are far superior.

Food packaging open on arrival, poor quality of food (welted everyone), box wasn't sealed properly and meat was all room temp. Customer service was completely useless. There are a ton of these services and one's way better, even if Martha isn't involved. Run run run from these people

Placed my subscription order at 12:57am on April 28th. and by 1:30am (33 minutes later) I had completely canceled the service and received the confirmation email, after I discovered they were going to keep charging me and sending food boxes whether I wanted them or not. I did not care for their recipe selection the first week and tried to reduce the meals from 3 a week to 2 meals a week, but a pop up box came up and said they would not make the changes until AFTER the first box had been delivered as ordered. That ticked me off a little. I then tried to pause delivery of my first box until I could discuss the matter with them and the next pop up box stated they would pause the service... Read More

Tried the service for 4 weeks. The first shipment had a single, minorly damaged good inside. The second week there were multiple damaged goods including a package of fish that had failed along one of it's sealed sides. The third week there were yet again multiple damaged items. At this point, an email was sent using the address provided in their contact us info page and no representative response was ever received. The fourth week had yet again multiple damaged goods including another fish package that had failed and coated everything in the box. Every shipment received out of the Tracy, CA distribution center for the Martha & Marely Spoon service has had damaged goods. The service was... Read More

So far, not good. I’m only on the second week of meals. I selected a Wednesday delivery. First box arrived a day late, nearly thawed, with two ingredients unusable. One of the cold packs leaked on all bottom ingredients. Luckily, they were rinse-able. This week, again FedEx delayed delivery by a day, only to re-delay again another day. The whole box will be spoiled as they don’t seem to refrigerate delayed boxes. At least with Hello Fresh, UPS seemed to refrigerate their delayed packages as they still arrived fresh and cold, with cold packs intact.

After trying Marley Spoon, I intend to try other services. The food is OK, but at a good cafeteria level. While the quality of the food they send is good, I ended up each week with a lot of disposable packaging, as everything is individually wrapped, in addition to the large box. The time listed is unrealistic, at least for me. I found that the recipes were not as clear as I needed, and although they claimed it would take 30 minutes to cook the dish, we were two people working on the dish and it took us almost an hour. The website is not easy to navigate. They provide automatic choices, and the customer can make changes. In my case, I looked at their recommendations, which... Read More

The recipes were good but the customer service was terrible. I kept getting boxes that were missing the main ingredient - like pork for my pork tacos! And they would only refund me for "the ingredient" not the missed meals. So I kept having to run to the store for the missing ingredient. What's the point of a delivery meal system if you have to run to the store every time you get a box?!

On my second box, I was missing the two main ingredients for 2 of the 3 meals: the pork for pork tacos and the cheese ravioli for a ravioli dish! Needless to say, I couldn't make the dishes. Unfortunately too, I'd planned my grocery shopping around this box, so didn't have much else as a backup. In this time with the pandemic, quick trips to the grocery store don't happen. All the customer service offered me was a $25 credit toward my next box. $25 doesn't even cover the two meals, and when you don't get the food, a refund should be issued rather than a credit. Terribly disappointed. I've tried most of the other companies: Hello Fresh, Sun Basket, Blue Apron, etc., and this is by far the... Read More

Yes, I've had problems with missing ingredients and late delivery but...the recipes are AMAZING!!!! I am not kidding, this is the BEST meal subscription service I have had so far. I can't quit. They have improved somewhat and I am hoping it will continue to get better because about 90% of the time, the meals are DYNAMITE! Better than most of the 5* restaurants we have been to. I have also learned a lot about layering flavors, etc. I am literally praying that they get better at packaging and delivery because I will cry if I have to stop this service. My husband and I are addicted to the quality ingredients they send (most of the time) and the creative and flavorful recipes.
