“I closed my account in 2019 as items where always missing and/or damaged, food goes out of date within a day of receiving order and overall poor service. Out of the blue I now have a box of food I didn't order being delivered tomorrow and they have taken payment, all of this has been done without my agreement and they have refused a refund. Emanuel customer service person I spoke to blamed me and covid-19 for this. HE said there was no errors then told me about the errors and just kept changing the story. I'm now having to go through my bank disputes team to get my money back. AVOID USING THIS COMPANY. If you call them get the ticket number for the call as they are recorded and the ticket number allows you to get a copy of the recording of your call. Dont email as they deny receipt of them.”

“We have been using Gousto after it was recommended by family. We have 4 meals a week and they have all been delicious. The portion sizes are generous & well balanced. The packaging is good so everything has arrived in good, fresh condition. The recipe cards are easy to follow and the timings work. Today I had a problem with the website so used the chat help; my order was reinstated in under 2 minutes by a very polite & helpful person. I cannot fault Gousto and am cooking much nicer food 4 times a week!”

“Messed up all my orders. Ingredients missing, meat only in date by one or 2 days yet I have 4 ‘fresh’ meals to eat in 2 days. Offered £5 yet it would cost much more than this to replace. Not looking after loyal customers, taking in more than they can cope with and on top reducing the menus by half. Very disappointing and Not good.”

“I was a customer of Gousto before all this pandemic and was loyal to weekly orders. Yet it seems greed has taken over and they are tying to take on more and more customers even though they often (almost each order) miss items, send inadequate meat etc. Very disappointing. I am trying hello fresh next week now.”

“The meat sent to me yesterday had one days shelf life. The things are terrible, not only do they smell, they are little bits of chicken and not a complete thigh. I get these at least once a week and always the same as though they are off cuts rather than a full chicken thigh. Don’t look nice.”

“We have been loyal gousto customers for 2 years during which time we’ve received no rewards/discounts (which I know other recipe box customers get) but have been surprised to see that throughout the corona crisis we simply been unable to order any meals as priority has been given to new customers? This is not the way to reward loyalty Gousto and you need to get it sorted or you’ll be losing more customers than just us.”

“As a loyal customer of Gousto since they started trading who orders a box every week, they have decided to take on a huge number of new customers and dump their loyal ones with no delivery slots, well I hope your new customers will continue with you when this is all over !”

“My box arrived today without the full set of ingredients for ANY of the meals I ordered. They offered to credit my account with £5 but it’s going to cost more than that to replace the missing ingredients! That’s if I can find them at all! It’s obvious they are struggling to cope with the increased in demand. very disappointing”

“The box arrived today without the full ingredients for ANY of the meals. They offered to credit my account £5 but after looking into realised that it would cost more than this to replace the missing items! That of course is if I can get them at all. Looks very much like they can’t cope with the increase in demand (had a look at the previous reviews) so I wouldn’t recommend if to you need a reliable service because you are in isolation.”

“I have been using gousto for nearly two months, having recommended lots of people I was informed today that my account was out on pause which I did not do! And now I won’t be receiving any more boxes at this time with everything going on! Great the whole reason I signed up to this was because I’m heavily pregnant and I know I would always have healthy food in for my family! And now I don’t have anything, yet all the people I have recommended are enjoy there boxes I’m here with NOTHING! I must also say my last box I was also kind enough to delay my box by 2 days to help them out with this busy period! Not good customer service atal!!! I have also tried to sort this via email, live chat and phone!”

“Have been having two deliveries weekly for past 14 months. Yesterday they sent me an email thanking me for my loyalty. Today cannot order as they say my subscription was paused last year! Customer service not empathetic at all. Really on delivery because in that age group for self isolation”

“My box was stolen and the company refused to replace it, so I had no meals while being stuck self-isolating. Rude and inconsiderate”

“Have been a regular customer and have always really enjoyed the boxes. Today I was emailed to say there had been an issue with our payment, there was no obvious cause for this and the payment was made successfully within a few minutes of receiving the email. However a future box has been cancelled as a result and I have been advised there is no way to reinstate it "due to high demand" New customers have signed up so it appears nothing can be done to help existing customers. With regret I have cancelled our subscription - not good enough Gousto!”

“Have been gousto customer for well over a year... Back from holiday and no deliveries available... expected loyal customers to be preferential regarding deliveries.... obviously not the case.... Will remember this when deliveries return to normal. You are just a number to them.....”

“I’ve been a Gousto customer for 2 years and I have to say the way they have dealt with Coronavirus and continues to manage excellent deliveries and making it as fair as possible has been nothing short of outstanding. I recommended them before and now I doubly recommend them (when they start accepting new customers again)”

“Don’t waste your time placing an order cos they have stopped this service. Would have been helpful to state this on website before I wasted time putting together an order.”
