Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon Reviews 

Marley Spoon helped us save money by not wasting food that would not be eaten over the course of a week. The recipes are great.

The recipes are tasty but the packing of the boxes leaves a lot to be desired. Never fails, every week there is chicken juice all over the contents of the box. If you get something with buns, they are often packed between the ice blocks and smashed.

MULTIPLE REASONS NOT TO USE DINNERLY/MARLEY SPOON!!
~They are the SAME company with the SAME MO!
~The sign up page says all over it, multiple times, "don't worry because you won't be charged until your box ships" and that "you can cancel any time"... but what they DON'T tell you is that you have signed up to get that very first box, whether you want it or not!
~In order to even create an account you are REQUIRED to put your card information in there... BEFORE you can even pick your meals! So, I thought that there was no harm in creating an account because I can "Cancel at anytime"!
~They have BY FAR the WORST "Costumer Service" I have EVER dealt with!! They are RUDE, inconsiderate, and wholly unhelpful! It doesn't matter to them that they falsified their cancelation practice!
~They even take the lie a step further by actually telling you not to worry because you won't be charged until you pick your meals!
~ Which, btw, are ALL SORTS OF WONKY! You would think the service you pay for includes the amount of dinners for the amount of people you choose, right? Wrong! They give you 4 servings of one meal, 3 of another and some of them are premium meals, which cost extra, so by the time you go to check out, you have to edit the meals to account for the amount of servings you need for each! So, another shady business practice IMO!
~I contacted "Customer Service" and not only were they rude and inconsiderate, but the guy literally told me that it's not THEIR fault that I thought I was canceling and would've be charged!? Like WHAT?! He told me they emailed me to inform me that the first box was on its way, (2 for me because I checked out Dinnerly AND Marley Spoon) ...but why would I be looking out for an email informing me of a delivery that I canceled?🤔 It IS in their terms and conditions, (like the fourth line down and equates to about half a sentence) that you must to contact them directly in order to cancel the first box. But to me, that is NOT being able to cancel at anytime! That's lying to me to get my card information and charge me for meals I DIDN'T CHOOSE even though I basically canceled immediately!
~It should be CLEAR, that you are agreeing to buy the first box AT THE TIME OF SIGN UP, (with the same clarity that they repeat the "canceling anytime" and "not being charged until shipment") that if you don't want it, canceling in the account settings isn't sufficient to stop that first box!
~NEITHER of their delivery drivers followed my delivery instructions!
~The Dinnerly box was a day late, and warm from not following instructions... no help or concern from the "customer service" a-holes!
~The Marley Spoon meals are these piddly little things and look NOTHING like the adverts! Their version of spaghetti and meatballs literally had 4 meatballs and maybe 15 noodles, the green beans were stacked full, though, so I guess good on them!🤔🤷‍♀️👍
~It's false advertising and shady as heck!🤷‍♀️

My box was a day late and everything was completely spoiled. I reached out more than once to try to get a new box or a refund and have yet to hear back. $98 for nothing. It was my first box since 2022 and I am very worried about the next.
**update** After waiting three days to hear back I finally got a reply and was compensated $20 on future boxes. My ENTIRE box was ruined and I was unable to salvage anything to make a full meal. I think a full refund is in order. But I guess paying that much for some spices and tortillas is worth it.

Overall, I really enjoy being introduced to new ideas and seasonings and recipes & the recipe cards are easy to follow with good visuals. The produce (veggies & fruits) and cheeses and pastas are generally very good the proteins I think they could go a tad higher quality, but overall they are good. I stick with the shrimp & chicken mostly. The coisants are a nice treat too and I have enjoyed some of the holiday recipes. I must like it- as I have been a member for a couple of years now! The variety is nice and I appreciate the new marketplace and I have learned a lot. I have no plans to leave anytime soon. It mixes well with my other shopping : ) thank you MS! Xo PS. Add some inexpensive caviar : )

The company can improve on the delivery of the box's contents. All the ingredients were wet with the contents of the plastic bags holding the gel. I had to wipe each ingredient with a paper towel. The small brown box inside holding the ingredients was wet also. Very messy.

Box arrived 3 days late with spoiled food in 96 degree heat. Asked for a refund and have recieved no information since last week regarding that refund. Cancelled upcoming boxes until I get a refund and see today that you are still shipping a box I cancelled 3-days before the deadline.

I started with this service over 3 years ago, and loved the recipes then (would have given 5 stars then). I really hate that if i miss an email after some time off because of a busy life, i get sent a random box of kits, often with foods i really dislike. And i get the notification only 3-4 days before ship date, when customer service tells me it is too late to cancel. It feels extremely forced upon, and it’s happened too many times (i learned my lesson too slowly), and is a waste of food and money. Completely quitting this time.

Really love the meals and the quality ingredients. Everything tastes great

Love the food, price, and convenience, but not happy with website. Pop up marketing freezes, you need luck to be able to update recipes for next weeks,

Not great. The whole order for the week just comes in one big box that you’re supposed to fit in your refrigerator. Then you have to dig through and figure out what ingredients go with which recipe. The delivery window is all day so you basically just have to be home all day to receive it. The chicken was leaking all over the rest of the ingredients so I had to throw some away. Also, if you want to skip a week you need to know a week in advance. You can’t cancel orders up to a week out so if something changes you’re stuck wasting a bunch of food. You also have to log into your account and cancel your order a week out or it will just pick random recipes without your consent and send them. Just overall too much admin.

My rating would actually be 3 1/2 to 4.
I am recently been disappointed in the quality of your vegetables, such as cucumbers, zucchini. They have spoiled way too early.

Also, my delivery instructions are never met.
The print on the delivery label should be larger so the instructions can been seen.
I ask that the box be delivered inside the door by the garage. It never happens!!!

All of the ingredients are fresh. The meats are always very nice. Chicken and beef are cleaned and great quality. For the most part there are nice quantities.
In this box, I had no complaints. Green beans were like fresh picked! Potatoes especially nice! Nice variety of flavors.

I have received 2 boxes from Marley Spoon. The first box had some ingredients and an entire meal missing. This week was the second box and it was an absolute mess. 5 out of the six meals ordered had multiple ingredients missing including essential, main ingredients. I have been trying to contact them for 2 days and you get hung up on before even being connected to a representative. I have also emailed twice with no response. I am not the only one that experienced this so it appears they have turned their phones off to cut off all communication with their customers.

My recent order arrived a day late. I didn’t get the notification it would be late until the morning of the day the box was then arriving!!
I do enjoy the food and recipes but there have been weekly issues with the produce freezing.

I am using tis meal kit service for several months and majorituly of the recepies are great. I like that thete is a varoety and many recepies to choose from. Nostly there are no issues, but if occasional issues occure, they gpt fixed. I tried Hungryroots and Hello Fresh before and like Maley Spoon the most.

I started getting meal delivery because I'm trying to eat healthier but didn't really know where to start. The food is so delicious, far beyond my expectations. Every week there are so many different options. I'm a very picky eater but even i sometimes have a problem trying to choose just 3 meals a week. I would highly recommend Marley Spoon to anyone looking to start on meal delivery boxes. And make sure you try the raspberry cheesecake in the "market" section, you'll thank me later.

App is easy to use and works well including getting recipes.
Meal kit variety is unsurpassed and you can use filters to create categories acceptable to you like Mediterranean, Fish or Vegetarian.
Delivery is generally on time.
