Hello Irina,

We sincerely apologize for the extended shipping time and delivery delays you've encountered with your order. We understand the frustration this may have caused.

Never Again.

I waited three weeks during the hottest part of the summer for my two canisters to arrive. Upon expressing my concerns about my infant's food being subjected to record heat while in transit for so long, Milky Box reps told me it was fine and there would be no refund issued. It is wild to me how cavalier they were about the situation, especially when a 4 month old's only source of nutrition is involved. I asked them to make it right and they refused. Needless to say, I am not feeding this to my baby and I will not be a returning customer. What a waste of time and huge waste of money.

Hello Brittany,

We sincerely apologize for any distress caused by your experience with our service. We understand your concern regarding the potential impact of transit conditions on the quality of the infant formula you ordered.

It's important to clarify that, based on extensive research, the contents of your order are safe to consume. Researchers have found that infant formula is susceptible to degradation only under extreme and prolonged exposure to temperatures of 55°C (131°F) or higher. Our storage and transit practices, following EU regulations, maintain controlled temperatures, and the formula is kept in air-conditioned warehouses while not in transit.

We value your feedback and take it seriously. We aim to ensure customer satisfaction, and we regret any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your understanding.

Best,
Milky Box Customer Support Team

Trustworthy and Amazing!

My order had formula that was made within the last 3 months so I knew it was fresh. It shipped fast and I was in the loop the whole time from order to door. My son has taken to the stage two so well and I will be buying the rest of his formula through Milky Box

The Milky box was super easy to order

The Milky box was super easy to order. The box came. (All fine).

The box was damaged along with the box of the product inside. I still tried the box as the alum foil inside was not broken.
My child was sick. I tried it again in case it was a coincidence. After the third time I requested a refund.
The product must have been damaged by heat or something.
They are avoiding me like the plague.
I have to email 3 times to get a response which is just another question.
I have sent photos of the product. Dates etc. It’s pretty sad that you have replied over 6 months later requesting pictures.
It really just shows the lack of customer service at this point.
I want my money back. It’s 107$ for 2 small boxes. It should be easily refunded.
I find this type of avoidance inappropriate customer service.

Do not buy here if you have any intention of a return or replacement due to defect.

Cash on Demand at post office.

When I picked up the package from Canada post, the sender requested additional funds as cash on demand. When I asked milky box about it they said it must’ve been a customs fee that needed to be paid when in reality Canada post would’ve said it’s a customs fee. Anyway cash on demand for those who don’t know, is when Canada post requests payment on behalf of the sender and securely sends it back to the sender. There are other companies who sell good quality formula at a better price and experience, don’t waste your time.

Hello Ash,

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the additional funds request during your Milky Box order pickup.

Upon further investigation, we recognize the miscommunication in our initial response. It appears the request was related to a customs fee, and we should have communicated this more clearly. We regret any confusion caused by the misunderstanding between Canada Post's information and our customer support.

We appreciate your understanding and want to assure you that we are working to improve our communication processes to prevent such issues in the future. If you have any further concerns or if there's anything we can do to rectify this situation, please reach out directly.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Not only did I have to pay the exchange with this company I had to pay $44 of duty! Turned out to be over $100 a can. Ridiculous.

I won’t be spending any more money here.

Yeah, avoid using this company unless it’s a last resort. My order was placed on 6-14 and I paid for “priority processing” which is a waste of money - and it’s just now being shipped out on 6/26. I contacted them on 6/22 requesting a refund for my order, which they stated “wasn’t possible because they didn’t know if the order was shipped out”. They stated that their processing time is between 2-6 days, and that’s apparently regardless of paying for “priority”. The person stated that they would contact distribution and if it had not shipped - my refund would be processed….. Well… Low and behold, it’s the 26th and I get a notification that my order is shipped out. Honestly, this business maybe selling legitimate products and they may have a SLIGHTLY better price then my normal major retailer - but I’m gonna just pay the extra couple of bucks to ensure that I can get what I need, when I need it and have service that honors what they say they will do. ALSO… they don’t charge me for “priority shipping” which is ACTUALLY just a line item to collect a few extra bucks. Trash company.

They messed up, wouldn't give refund

Website let us order and then when we contacted them to make sure formula was in stock they told us it wasn't. We asked to cancel the order because we needed something sooner. Went to another site and ordered. Then a couple days later noticed they hadn't cancelled our original order. They told us that they made a mistake and that it was in stock. They would not refund or let us exchange. Do not use this company. They gave us 10% off next purchase. Why would I want 10% off from a company I'm never going to use again?

Heard many good reviews about this company while researching trusted sources for buying European goats milk formulas. They lived up to their reputation! Highly recommend! Much appreciated baby doing so well on goats milk. More bowel movements per day, less spit ups, less gas related issues. Used Holle 1 and Jovie 2. Thank you Milky Box!
