Initially I was a big fan of Misfits Market when I started using them around 2020 or 2021. Their produce was somewhat comparable to store prices and you could get some really neat deals on random pantry items. I was also really about their mission with sending you 'slightly imperfect' produce that was still perfectly good. In transparency, I see a lot of complaints on here are about the regular recurring subscription box - I did not opt for that, just the option to shop as needed with the weekly window, where sometimes I'd build a box, and sometimes I wouldn't. Sadly over just my few years as a customer I've seen the prices skyrocket. I get that inflation is a thing, but for example - there was this croissant bread that is THE BOMB which I loved, and initially it was on sale for around $4.00 the first time I tried it. Now the price has steadily increased and it's on their site for $8.69, which isn't even a savings. I really would love to still support reducing food waste and buying my produce in a box that reduces single-use plastic, but I can't justify using them anymore. Their prices plus the shipping costs mean that you do NOT save money compared to the grocery store, which is supposed to be the whole premise. I think they started trying to take on too much when they expanded to having way more pantry items, cold pack, etc. When it was mostly produce and random items at deep discount, it was more fun to shop because it was like a 'treasure hunt' and you didn't know what you'd find at, say, 60% off. Too many things at too high of prices make the site overwhelming to shop - kind of like they are trying to be Thrive Market but not as good. (I shop with Thrive periodically too but only when there are really good deals and I have a free student membership). My experiences with customer service have always been satisfactory. I've been very frustrated a few times where items were missed, items were damaged (shattered glass of olives, leaking bag of chicken), and they refund you without batting an eye if you just contact them. The most frustrating thing that has ever happened is one of my boxes got totally lost and no one knew where it was. These things happen and probably most if not all of them are the shipping provider's fault and not Misfits.
