Inconsistent food quality and incomplete recipe inclusions, PLUS WORST OF ALL- delivery drivers steal your food!!!

published

Things have changed after 2 years of getting weekly deliveries - now appalling customer service and dishonest delivery drivers!!!
We have security camera footage of the delivery driver coming to our door, taking a photo of the delivery being made and then putting the box back in his truck!!
Marley’s call centre follow up and customer service was appalling (in fact non existent). The business can not cope with growth and has lost touch with its customer, logistics and process management.

They locked me in for future delivery when I was not happy with the first one

published

I signed up for the first delivery to try. I did not know it was going to be weekly deliveries.
I was not happy with the first delivery and they already charged me for the second delivery.
I contacted the customer service and they told me that any cancellation must be at least 6 days before delivery. Seriously?
I have not received a future delivery and requested a cancellation but they refused to assist.
This is misleading and terrible business conduct.

Not a good experience

published

Did not deliver my box, inquired and was told there was a mix up with the delivery driver.
They did not offer to deliver it at a different time I was just told that I will not be receiving a box that week.
This is not acceptable as I rely on these meals to feed me for the week.
Not very satisfied with their solutions or communication.

Not a good experience

published

Couldn’t use specials voucher even though first time customer. Box came a day early. Veggies not fresh had to throw onion and celery away.
Marley Spoon did not reply to my complaint .
Box left outside my front door and I was unable to get out the door to pick it up I had to walk around the house .
No service.

addicted to Marley Spoon

published

Marley Spoon takes the worry out of 'what to cook for dinner'. So many choices each week with top quality ingredients and step-by-step instructions takes the hassle out of cooking - just relax and enjoy your meal all done in 30 minutes.

Tried it once. Won’t be trying again.

Ordered for the first time this week. Vegetables and herbs weren’t fresh. Gave us a novelty spoon but couldn’t remember to put all the ingredients for our meals in. Priorities!

Delivery arrived at 1.30 am in the morning

published

We care for troubled teenagers, so our house is fully security camera'd and we have two large dogs. When a white van pulled into our court and the dogs went berserk at 1.30 in the morning, I ran into the hall only partly dressed trying to work out what was going on. The whole house was woken up, and both sets of neighbours too. We had decided to try Marley spoon for a change from Hello Fresh - I can tell you, we are now going straight back to Hello Fresh. They deliver at a normal time of day, and don't scare their customers half to death.

Charged for food I did not receive

published

Tried to change my adress for my delivery, via calling, email and on the website almost a week before my delivery. customer service got back to me one day before and said there was nothing they can do. so now a whole box of food has been sitting outside of a house on the other side of the country. no refund or any solutions where offered.

Doesn’t deliver on orders

published

I really wanted to try Marley Spoon but our order was not delivered. When I contacted customer care I was told the payment declined so the order was cancelled. Which of course I’d have no issue with but there were funds in the account and I received no contact from Marley Spoon advising of declined payment. This week I have an order due tomorrow but no money has been taken from my account so I checked my Marley Spoon account and it looks as though this weeks order has been skipped too. I have tried to get ahead and confirm with customer service what the issue might be but I have had no reply. Very disappointing but I will be cancelling and returning to hello fresh is my order is not delivered tomorrow.

Order did not arrive / poor customer service

published

Place our first order and it did not arrive. Contacted the provider and was told the delivery was not able to be deliver due to a lack of access to the property. Never received a call back so followed up with another call. Sent email and are told someone will return the email in 24 hours.
Poor customer service, highly recommend that if considering a good service provider that is reliable and provides great customer service, to look at other providers.

Food is OK, when it arrives

published

I am happy with the quality of food and the recipes - but not very happy with how inconsistent deliveries are.

I was happy to support these guys but am getting sick of deliveries not turning up and turning up late.
Good then it works, frustrating when it doesn't.

First time, never again.

published

Ordered a box, delivery instructions not followed. Box not delivered. Offered a refund and $25 credit. Told that for my time slot drivers are instructed not to buzz or call, instructions clearly state to buzz. Box was left on the footpath of a busy road in front of apartment building. Told they can’t send a replacement box today as they don’t order excess, customer care don’t actually care they just give generic responses. No offer to speak to a manager or adequate compensation for their company policy which lead to the box being stolen. Will not be using again.

Poor customer service and bland food

published

Very disappointed with the whole process from the food arriving which we found bland and boring and incorrect information given by staff about cancelling. After I thought I was not getting anymore boxes I was sent a notification that one was being sent. I was going to be sent a meat box - I do not eat and had not ordered any meat products previously. The response when I said that I don’t eat meat so did not want this box was being told to give it to a neighbour! They have no phone number to call so was only sent back robot like responses via email and then just stopped responding to my messages and just sent the box anyway even though I contacted them 6 days before the box was to arrive. Do not use this company.

Long time customer. Delivery has gone downhill.

published

Im a long time customer and I have to say that I am deeply disappointed in the courier service lately. Im not sure what has changed lately but things have sadly gone downhill.

In the last month or so I have had 2 failed deliveries. One clearly delivered to the wrong address and another one delivered hours outside of the agreed timeslot. Although credits were offered, thats not the point. I use you guys not for the cost but for the convenience. I you can't deliver on convenience then what is the point.

Its deeply disappointed given that I have been with Marley for years. I am now considering whether to try a competitor.

Still waiting - not impressed with customer service at all

published

Guess I'll be another person waiting for a refund on this - Just like I'm waiting for my delivery. No reply to emails & no answer when I call NSW number. The tracking function says my delivery due several hours ago, with no update.

2 Consecutive Weeks No Delivery

published

2 weeks with Marley Spoon received nothing. The company should seriously check their couriers. Cancelled my account and the company still owes me $150. The helpdesk is not helpful either, only said they would deliver next week.

Thanks for your comments. I’m waiting for the refund at the moment. Already canceled your food delivery service.

After cancelling the service, the refund is still not received after 2 weeks. I’ve been told it would only take 5-10 days. I absolutely doubt you guys are serious about your business. Will have to call you guys again.

So simple and so tasty!

published

Love the convenience, great flavours and the quantities are ample.

I’ve received a couple of bad pieces of produce over the time which is very inconvenient, however, a credit is always issued.

Customer service is always good.

YES, NO, MAY BE, MAY BE NOT

published

We tried Marley Spoon for one month and walked away with good and bad feelings. The service was abysmal, the food quality was satisfactory, the ideas were great, but all in all, it taught us that you cant beat cooking for yourself using fresh ingredients that you select and buy yourself. I think this business may have its own "use by date" unless people become reclusive and housebound.
