My experience wasn’t the best, even if I did some research before subscribing. But I guess you can’t trust everything you read on some articles online. The idea of trying new food items and helping minimize waste was very appealing to me. But in practice, the service didn’t meet my expectations. 

I think the minimum order value (to be eligible for free shipping) is high, this led me to purchase more than my family needed, which in turn resulted in food waste at home. In one occasion, I also ordered a dozen of eggs, when I started using them I noticed that some had some brown, blood-looking spots inside. So this means the company needs to work on quality control with its suppliers. 

The experience with the eggs helped me to just pull the trigger and cancel the subscription. But oh surprise, I couldn’t do it on my own. Even if I tried following one of their guides to cancel it.  Which by the way included buttons that their current website doesn’t have. So I ended up calling and speaking with a client service agent who finally helped to cancel the service. 

If I’m honest, I feel discouraged to try another subscription of this kind. 

Preventing food waste is my favorite past time

They are using ANY method necessary random billings for crazy amounts of money from $60-100'dollars to bill my card. Now that I blocked imperfect foods they are billing through instacart. This is dishonest and just right illegal. DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING. there's no way to cancel service even on website. I gave contacted an attorney to fight this. It's dishonest and Illegal. Breaking into MY CARD by any means. Not happening!!! I'm one of many people that struggle to cancel. I even tried to go on their app. It's impossible. Not 4 stars .5

I love what this company does - the food itslef is not bad just a little imperfect which I love - so great I highly recommend 

I tried Imperfect Foods for a few months and found that it wasn't a good fit for me. The offerings were not as great as other boxes and I found that most of the produce arrived in terrible condition, leaving me to either eat it all that day or toss it. The grocery sections weren't terrible though. 

I kind of miss when Imperfect was just funky produce. I do understand their need to scale & change, and hats off to them for being the first in this now-crowded market. But if sustainability is their mission, they could do better.

I love Imperfect in theory, but struggle with it in execution a tiny bit. Yes, I want those forgotten & ugly fruits & vegetables to get eaten, that mission is A+. But their sustainability efforts are belied by their new plastic-clad product offerings, cardboard boxes for which they don't have a recycling program, and ice packs & coolings bags. 

I got a promotion for $25 off my first four boxes and have gotten great stuff for a great price! Would recommend giving it a shot!

Having been using for about a year. If you spend 60 dollars the shipping is free. I have had a few shipping issues, but they always refund me for the items that have broken etc. There are certain items that come at an obvious discount, but most are about the same price as in the store. It’s good for getting basics delivered every week. I have found that I’m buying less and less produce from them because it’s more expensive than in the store. 

Very convenient. But, for what their mission supposedly is- it’s weird that they don’t accept food stamps. They could be doing so much good if they also were trying to provide accessible groceries to low income, disabled, single parents, and marginalized communities. 

I had multiple orders that were missing items or were somehow incorrect. It happened multiple times. Consistant mistakes & issues led me to believe that they are mistreating their workers. I ended up canceling my membership  

I really had high hopes for this as I was looking forward to 1.) helping eliminate food waste and 2.) get a new rotation of veggies into my meals for the week but it didn't work well for me. The variety wasn't that good and the produce didn't last as long as I would like. In 1-2 days, the veggies were not very fresh.
