Charged me over $100 for meals after I had already paused my account. Packaging is the most wasteful I have ever seen and meals are not good. Do not recommend this company at all.
I ordered 6 meals and I received an ill packed box, barely cold proteins and 1 small steak, one small chicken breast, and small package of shrimp that was supposed to complete 6 meals?
This is the worst box from a food delivery service I have ever received!
I switched fro Home Chef because wanted to new menus and what a mistake!
Hi Marci, we are so sorry to hear the proteins did not arrive cold. We would be happy to take a look into this. Please look for our direct message. The Sun Basket Team, AK
Great recipes. Amazing food. Easy to prepare. Overall 10 in my opinion. During the quarantine/pandemic my 12 year old son learned how to cook by making my sun basket dinners each night. It was safely delivered to my house and we ordered 3-4 meals per week. My son and I will keep ordering! Thanks!
When I was trying to cancel my subscription last week, the only thing I could find on their website to cancel was to send an email to *******@sunbasket.com. I emailed them well before the deadline for the next box to be shipped. I have proof of the email sent, but I never received a confirmation. I then get a notification yesterday that I was charged 78 dollars for a delivery next week... are you kidding me?! Now they are saying they won't refund me because the payment was already put through, even though the box hasn't even shipped yet according to the tracking information on the FedEx website. Definitely sticking to HelloFresh after this whole thing... it's ridiculous that I won't get reimbursed for a mistake made on THEIR end.
Hi Kristie, thank you for sharing your review, and we're sorry to hear about your experience. We've sent you a direct message via Sitejabber. We'd love to have the chance to assist you and we look forward to hearing back your response! -The Sun Basket Team, MS
Gave it a shot hoping it might be better than blue apron. Ingredient came rotten. After initial order updated to skip future delivery. Apparently not that was not updated properly and got charged for it. Once charged they say they cannot cancel even though they don't ship for 5 or 6 days.
Hello Dong, thank you for your review. We are very sorry that one of our ingredients arrived to you in bad form. We have sent you a private message to ascertain which ingredient that was and compensate you accordingly. We are also sorry that you experienced trouble with our Thursday 12 pm Pacific cutoff time! That cutoff is vital to our operations and allows us to provide the best possible service to our customers. We do, however, appreciate your feedback on this and will be passing along internally for further discussion.
To be fair to Sun Basket, a lot of people complain about inability to cancel subscription. I was almost there. Took me 25 minutes to finally find the phone number. Links take you nowhere. Finally, found the phone number under Help and it was a breeze. Customer Service was excellent. The few meals we ate were ok. Not the best but not bad. What had me calling to cancel was the first charge that was a full charge. You receive a discount on the first order. Home Chef has much better meals, quality is higher and much more organized in the package. Plus, they are $20 cheaper. They cost $60 a week, my second bill from Sun Basket was $80. I can buy a lot of groceries for $80. They just can't compare to Home Chef and not worth the cost.
Hi Norma, we thank you for your feedback and we will be sure to pass this along to our Team. Although our pricing is more than other competitors, we do offer organic produce and organic protein upgrades. Our wide variety of recipes that change weekly help to assist those with different dietary lifestyles. If you are ever in need of assistance, or if you have any questions, please feel free to send us a direct message.

A long-time member, I love, love this company. Great food & recipes, healthy, & lots of choices. It has changed my eating & dietary habits for the better. Any issues are promptly & efficiently handled. I love the organic options. Yay Sunbasket!
Hi Julie, thank you for being an amazing and loyal customer! We're also thrilled to hear that our recipe's are able to meet your dietary wants and needs. Thank you very much for your wonderful review!
I was unable to get anybody on the phone. The texting service and email service do not reply to the issue you talked about. They charged me shipping when the shipping should have been free. The order came a day late and the meats were completely thawed out. The customer service may be horrible due to the virus. However, I have learned my lesson and will not try a food delivery service again. It's easier just to do a pick up at Food Lion or Walmart.
We are sorry to hear about your recent experience with us! If we might be able to take a closer look at this, we have sent you a direct message via Sitejabber.
I love to cook delicious food with fresh ingredients, and Sunbasket helps me to do that every week. The recipes are delicious, not too complex to prepare on a weeknight, and the ingredients are organic. Meals are satisfying and nutritious, even my kids have become adventurous eaters because this food is so good. I love picking my menu and knowing that I'm going to love any option; the variety & spices have kept me happy for a year and a half. I'm a very satisfied customer!
I cannot believe how much they charge compared to the quality of the commodities. Groceries are usually in poor shape when they arrive and do not last more than two days for produce. The prep times listed should be doubled. I have worked in commercial kitchens for 30 years and have yet to do a meal in the time suggested.
Hi Kevin, thank you for your feedback and we will be sharing your recipe feedback with our Culinary team. We also would like to have the chance to look into your feedback with the produce received. As with organic produce, they tend to have a shorter shelf life than conventional items. We sent you a direct message and hope to hear back from you.
I have tried most all of the meal kit delivery services (blue apron, home chef, sun basket, green chef and plated) and by far Sun Basket is the worst one. Not only is the customer service terrible but it's more expensive than most others while the ingredients are of the same or lower quality. I received wilted produce and rotten fish and "customer service" would only refund $10. I recommend any of the other meal services mentioned above instead of Sun Basket
Hi Anna, we're so sorry to hear that you received ingredients you were unable to enjoy. Since our ingredients are organic(no-GMO's), predicting their shelf-life is a bit finicky but, our Team works hard to make sure quality is not an issue. Should we ever miss that mark, we encourage all customers to reach out to us so we may correct it and compensate the account accordingly. So we may further look into this, we have sent you a direct message. We hope to hear from you soon!

So far SunBasket is my favorite - good quality food, easy to follow recipes, less packaging than Hello Fresh. Also egg free, soy free, and gluten free options. Even if you don't continue the service, you will get some really good recipes to do over and over again :)
Hi Lisa, thank you for taking the time to write this raving review! We're so happy to hear you're enjoying our healthy and delightful recipes and flexible menu options. We hope to cook with you again soon! - The Sun Basket Team, SP
The food is great. Wonderful variety. Produce is organic and always fresh. Customer service is impeccable. Never any mistakes or missing ingredients. Delivery is always on time. I love it!
Thanks for the kind review, Deborah! Happy cooking!
Extremely consistent, occasional out of their control day late delivery, generous portions, great variety of recipes, something for every taste. Top notch costumer service, very helpful and willing to resolve issues.
Hi Sabine, thank you so much for cooking with us and taking the time to leave your feedback. We value you as customer and we are so thrilled that you are enjoying your Sun Basket experience! We are looking forward to cooking more delicious meals with you! - The Sun Basket Team, DP
Delivery was fine and boxes are well insulated with dry ice so the food stays fresh in hot weather. The non-oven direct meals were a bit involved so prep wasn't quick. Ingredients were all good, healthy and fresh, but unfortunately after perhaps 10 meals, I didn't find any that I'm really interested in eating again. It's not that the food is bad, it's just bland and not wildly delicious as they advertise. I've had Trader Joe's frozen food which while not as healthy, tastes better. Also had an issue with one of the ice bags leaking from the box onto our wood floor, that's annoying and hopefully it hasn't damaged it.
Hi Ken, thank you for your review. Although our baskets do not contain dry ice, our partner Rastelli's butcher boxes do. We also thank you for giving our meals a try; we'll be sure to forward your feedback to our team. If you're ever in need of assistance, please feel free to reach out to us!
I bought two gift cards for friends through Sun Basket. I thought they'd be decent since Williams Sonoma is promoting them on their website. Both recipients had terrible customer service experiences. When their orders didn't come up to the $100 I gifted them, Sun Basket wouldn't refund them (or me, the buyer) the $20 balances. They only want subscriptions, they don't care about someone who places a single-meal order, even as a gift. I have no idea how the food is; one recipient was so upset she told me to cancel and get a refund.
Best meal kit delivery service. All products are fresh and the meals aren't boring. Definitely recommend. I also like how you can add things from the market if you're just not feeling any of the kits. I've also never had a bad fresh and ready meal, the cauliflower Mac is my favorite. We just recently started stocking the short rib burgers too, soooo good.
I first signed up for sun basket in early 2017. Its been my favorite meal delivery out of all of them. The meals are unique and still made in a reasonable amount of time. However, as of 2018 their menus have changed. They now charge extra for organic, when this is supposed to be an organic brand to begin with! Now the box costs over $80 per week. I'm sorry but I can go to trader joe's and spend that same amount and have food for a week without having to eat out at all. I will most likely be canceling my membership.
Hi Audrina, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences with us. We're so sorry for any confusion our price change may have caused. Sun Basket is focused on providing fresh, clean, free of systemic and harmful pesticides, and non-GMO produce as well as free range, grass fed, antibiotic and hormone free meats and proteins. To maintain these standards, we had to slightly increase our prices by. 50 cents per serving and just $1 more to our shipping charge. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause as we are trying to improve all of our member's Sun Basket experience. We understand that it is a competitive market and we hope our values such as sustainability, giving back the community, and money back guarantee sets us apart from the rest.

I love the fact I get organic fresh food delivered to me every week with an easy step-by-step recipe my husband and I enjoy preparing & bonding over all done within 20 minutes! Less grocery shopping & throwing away so much food every week! FABULOUS!
We're so happy to hear that you're not only enjoying our service, but that it's also helping create some wonderful memories between you and your husband! We absolutely love that! Thank you for your review and for cooking with us, Louisa!
SunBasket is one of my favorites. I love the variety and ease of the recipes.
I used them for over 2 years. When I needed to cancel due to a move, it was super easy. Now that I'm able, I'm re-starting with them again.
Hi Moureen, thank you for your glowing feedback. We're happy to hear that we get to cook with you once again. Welcome back!
Answer: I have had an occasional shipping issue. I always smell the meat in situations like this and take photos of the issue, before contacting Sunbasket. They have responded to my great satisfaction every time- which has been Maybe twice.
Answer: Hello Kim, our cut-off time to make any changes is every Thursday 12 Noon PST or 3 PM EST! Hope this helps! -The Sun Basket Team, EG
