Blue Apron

Received our second blue apron meal this week. The ingredients inside came bruised and inedible with the Greek yogurt and cheese opened and spilled all over the other contents of the bags. I emailed a complaint with pictures and was issued a $13 credit to my account? Obviously unhappy with the solution I called customer services to ask for a refund to my card. They stated they were unable to do that and could only credit my account for the items. I spoke with 2 different people who apologized but were completely unhelpful in a solution. I opted to cancel the subscription and take my loses. Poorly managed customer service. I don't usually write reviews but this one left such a bad taste in my mouth I felt the need to warn others. Not a customer friendly company when they are obviously the ones that screwed up. Disappointed

3 of the 5 deliveries I received were missing ingredients, twice affecting 2 of the 3 recipes for the week. One of the deliveries did not show up at all! When I contacted customer service I received a canned "we're so sorry" response and a credit for 1 of the 2 meals. The whole purpose of this concept is to make life easier for the subscriber by providing them with an all inclusive dinner. Great concept---- lousy execution.

Too bad, because the recipes that I did make, were very good. Stay away unless your are seeking weekly aggravation.

I am a new widow, having lost my husband of 45 years. Initially I found it hard to put any energy into eating but I am a health professional and knew I could not continue down that path. Blue Apron offers me the opportunity to eat a healthy meal at least once a day. I appreciate that the boxes come with exactly what is needed to prepare the menu, there is no waste. Additionally, meal preparation is a time when my mind is occupied by simple productive tasks with a positive endpoint, a delicious dinner.

My wife and I tried Blue Apron for a couple weeks. I am a vegetarian and she rarely eats meat so we opted for the vegetarian selections. The price remained the same at approx. $60. So for 3 meals, basically 6 servings, we paid $10 per serving (for veggies and chickpeas as main dishes). I can buy groceries for a week for $60. The time it takes to prepare these meals is quite ridiculous. The time you save by not going to the grocery store is spent in the kitchen toasting nuts and making special sauces which require more effort than it's worth. Although the quality is great, I cannot justify $10 per serving. I am reviewing the vegetarian option only as I have heard good things about the options with meat from my family members.

Blue Apron has served thousands of customers all over the world. I decided to put them to the test and try their meal kits service. The quality of their ingredients is amazing, and everything is farm fresh and organically produced.
Blue Apron delivers all the freshest meats, fish, fruits, and veggies direct to your door in an insulated box. They provide detailed instructions on how to prepare the meals courtesy of in-house chefs. I chose my meals for the week via the App Store, and all the ingredients were shipped directly to my door. They shop for the freshest produce, with quality ingredients from trusted suppliers.

I was given 2 weeks of Blue Apron as a Christmas Gift by my son and his wife. I really did like the meals and enjoyed cooking again so I signed up for the program. The choice of menus are great. You always find meals you will enjoy. For those who don't like spicy things, I say, "don't use it". The food will still be wonderful. I can skip weeks if I go out of town. I have always disliked grocery shopping and now all I have to shop for is milk and cereal. I also save money by not doing what I call "pick up shopping". I don't buy things I don't need and things that will go bad in the fridge because I don't use all of it. I recommend this program.

We are taking a break from the service right now but my wife and I really like Blue Apron. Their recipes were a little complex for week nights but we gave them that feedback and they have since said that they have made them simpler. We are looking forward to trying them again in a week or two. They had great tasting meals though and great quality compared to some of the others we've tried.

Great concept. I only cook for 2 so the portion control is perfect. They overestimate on the calories usually. I initially freaked out on the 600-700 estimated calories they provide on the cards. I downloaded the ingredients and most of the time the estimated calories are way over. That's a good thing for my waistline. Service is consistent. Once I didn't receive an ingredient. I wrote an email and received a reply within an hour. On the weekend! If you don't like the selection you can skip the delivery that week. I've used Blue Apron for 4 months now and very happy with it.

My wife and I have been using Blue Apron for a while. We love it because we cook dishes and use ingredients we never would think to otherwise. It has really broadened our tastes and our willingness to cook new and different things. My only complaint is that I wish there was more variety each week. We will skip a week if we don't love the menu options.

I worked for blue apron a few months ago. This place is very much unorganized and nasty, dirty and the employees don't care... I watched boxes go out the door that had been put on the floors fell in garbage cans and I saw a manager by the name of Paul use produce out of a filthy garbage can. It was so bad they use to give us free boxes I never wanted one. I also warned my family and friends. They clean the facility when osha or someone important shows up. They are very racist. They use the blacks and Mexicans and lie to them and this keeps drama in the work place. They pay their employees based on the color of their skin not the experience they may have...
So if you got a box with bad produce. Missing items that's why... that place should be shut down... Richmond facility is horrible just Google buzz feed

We had a friend offer us a free week... so we signed up. Our first order was delivered this past Wednesday by FedEx... box was damaged and had to be relabeled but it was delivered on time. Food was packed well but the vinegar had leaked out, I'm sure this was caused by the delivery not being handled correctly during shipment. Anyway we enjoyed our 3 meal very much. The summer squash cakes are fantastic. We are looking forward to our next delivery. If you decide to try it just read the small print, it explains how Blue Apron works.
