  I am filing a complaint against Marley Spoon for what I believe is a deceptive business practice and refusal to honor a fair refund request.I recently visited Marley Spoons website to browse their meal kit options. In order to view the available meals, I was required to enter my personal information, including my credit card details. A disclaimer on the site (which Ive included in the attached screenshot) stated: Dont worryyou wont be charged until you pick your meals. Based on this assurance, I proceeded.However, after reviewing the menu, I decided not to move forward. I did not select any meals. I cancelled the subscription shortly after. Despite this, a box of food I did not order was delivered to my home. The contents were poorly packaged, with ingredients thrown loosely into the box and a broken soy sauce packet leaking over everything.I immediately contacted Marley Spoons customer service, expecting a refund. The representative refused, stating I had not cancelled in time and had therefore agreed to the terms and conditions. They sent me a screenshot of the termsbut disregarded the misleading statement I relied on that said I would not be charged unless I selected meals.Since I did not choose any meals, the company used my preference quiz to send a random assortment of quick and easy items that I did not authorize or want. In my view, this is fraudulent and misleading. I was charged $82.93 without placing an order.I am requesting a full refund and for this company to be held accountable for its misleading sign-up flow and refusal to resolve the matter properly. This business should not be allowed to trap customers into unwanted charges based on vague disclaimers and confusing processes

  Hi *****,
  
  Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Were sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation.
  
  According to our records, your subscription was initiated on July 25th and cancelled that same day. However, during the sign-up process, you selected a first delivery date of July 28th, entered your delivery and payment details, and proceeded with your order setup. This action triggered the first order to be scheduled.
  
  Its important to note that adding a payment method alone does not result in an immediate charge. Billing is only processed after an order is placed and the cut-off window has passed, which occurs five days before the scheduled delivery. At that point, the billing cycle is initiated, and the order is finalised. In your case, the cut-off for your July 28th delivery was July 23rd, so when you signed up on July 25th, the order had already been processed and confirmed for shipment.
  
  If no meals are selected manually, the system automatically assigns meals based on your stated preferences. Removing meals after the cut-off does not cancel or delete the order. To avoid a charge, the order must be cancelled or the subscription paused before the cut-off date and time.
  
  The information here provided can be reviewed here: ****************************************.
  
  We understand that this may not have been clear at the time. Please know that you can always view our weekly menus in advance, without creating an account or entering payment details, by visiting: ***************************************.
  
  As you've requested an escalation, a case manager will follow up with you directly to review your experience further. We're committed to ensuring transparency and providing any support we can going forward.
  
  Warm regards.

  Account was opened and closed on the same day, still charged and still receiving delivery of unwanted items.Apparently you have to talk to a representative to actually cancel. Wasnt the law just changed to make cancelling easier? If I could sign up with a click, why was there multiple steps to cancel?

  Business Response

  Date: 07/12/2025

  Hi *******! Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry that you received an unexpected charge from us. After reviewing your account, we found that it was cancelled on 7/5, but the first order had already been placed for the selected date upon creation on 7/14. According to our Terms and Conditions: 3.3 If you wish to cancel your first order, you must contact our **************** team. Simply cancelling your membership will not result in the automatic cancellation of your first order. For all subsequent orders, you can skip or make changes yourself in your account area. Since no contact was made before the cutoff, the order was charged as scheduled on 7/9 and produced to be delivered on 7/14. Therefore, this order is not eligible for a refund under the circumstances, as it was placed accordingly. If you require assistance with anything else, don't hesitate to contact our customer care team. Kind regards.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  The account was closed and cancelled via the app, which is contact with your company. You used multiple prompts to prevent me from cancelling, which changed and made offers, so  sounded like a customer chat so I believed it was full and complete cancellation of service.

  Hi *******,
  
  Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns.
  
  I understand that you cancelled your Dinnerly membership shortly after creating your account, on the 5th of July, and expected that your first order would be cancelled automatically. However, according to our Terms and Conditions, cancelling the membership alone does not cancel the first order. To stop the first order, you must contact our **************** team before the order cut-off deadline, which is several days before the delivery date and billing.
  
  This information is made available on our terms and conditions (****************************************):
  "(...) 3. Ordering Through The Site (...)
  
  3.3 If you wish to cancel your first order, you must contact our **************** team. Simply canceling your membership will not result in the automatic cancellation of your first order. For all subsequent orders, you are able to skip or make changes yourself in your account area. (...).".
  
  Because the first order for the 12th of July was not canceled before the 5 day cut-off, it was processed and billed as scheduled. We understand this may be frustrating, and we apologize if the cancellation process or messaging was unclear.
  
  If you have any other questions or if we can assist you further, please dont hesitate to reach out.
  
  Thank you for your understanding.
  
  Best regards,

  Ive had a few smaller issues in the past- one was this company cancelling an order and not refunding the shipping for an order they never shipped. Outside of occasional food damage, they later shipped me a box packed without insulation which arrived with raw meats and dairy actually warm in over 90 degree heat. Basically, a box of destroyed and spoiled food. After a week of going back and forth to try to get a refund, they agreed to a partial refund that didnt even cover the full amount of food destroyed which was most of it. When I explained this they basically told me sorry cant help ******, do business with the company at your own risk. But watch your charges.

  Hi ********** thanks for reaching out! We're sorry to hear that your delivery was delayed, resulting in your box of food arriving warm. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and you can rest assured that this matter is being internally addressed with our logistics team to ensure that issues like this one can be prevented. Upon reviewing the case, we can confirm that a full refund has been issued. If you didn't receive the remaining  $33.06 for the order, please allow up to 7 business days for the transactions to complete. Don't hesitate to contact our customer care team if anything else is needed. Kindly.

  I had a subscription service, paused my account for medical reasons, and was charged while my account was clearly still paused. When I reached out to the company, they said this deceptive business practice was part of their policy.

  Business Response

  Date: 06/06/2025

  Hi ***,
  
  Thank you for sharing your concerns with the Better Business Bureau. Im reaching out on behalf of Marley Spoon in response to your recent complaint regarding the charge processed while your subscription was paused.
  
  Id like to clarify the sequence of events: on May 8th, you contacted us requesting clarification about the billing. At that time, a team member explained that the charge was related to your scheduled delivery for May 12th, and that, in line with our standard billing cycle, payments are processed 6 days in advance.
  
  On May 13th, following your request, the matter was escalated. One of our case managers attempted to reach you by phone but was unsuccessful. A follow-up email was sent the same day, providing a detailed explanation and inviting you to respond directly with any further concerns. Unfortunately, we did not receive a reply.
  
  To reiterate, your subscription was paused until May 8th. Since no cancellation request was submitted before the cutoff on May 6th at 11:59 PM, the order for May 12th proceeded and was billed accordingly. This process aligns with the policies outlined in our Terms & Conditions, and we are unable to issue a refund once an order moves into the procurement stage.
  
  Additionally, a reminder email was sent on May 2nd regarding the upcoming order, including the cutoff date to skip or modify the delivery scheduled for May 12th. This delivery fell outside of the paused period.
  
  We understand this may not be the outcome you were hoping for and truly regret any inconvenience caused. Should you need further assistance, were here to help.
  
  Warm regards,
  Marley Spoon

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  When a subscription is paused, customers presume they will not be charged until that pause is over. I paused my subscription through May 8th, but was charged on May 7th. Any policy that allows customers to pause their accounts but charges them during that time period is a deceptive and predatory practice. I am deeply disappointed by this companys response to this complaint

  Hi ******, thanks for reaching out! After reviewing your membership, we can confirm that upon creation, your first delivery was scheduled to arrive on 05/20. According to our terms, you may edit or skip your orders before the cutoff, which in this case is 6 days before your delivery date. Since the order wasn't skipped or edited before the cutoff date, the box entered production and was shipped as scheduled. Therefore, this order isn't eligible for a refund as it was processed accordingly. Furthermore, you can always view our menu before entering any personal details at *************************************************************************** apologies for being unable to accommodate your request.

  Business Response

  Date: 05/28/2025

  Hi ******, thanks for reaching out. We are sorry for the confusion, Dinnerly is a sister of Marley Spoon, the reason the message says Marley Spoon. You did had an account with Dinenrly and your last box was delivered on 2024/1/17, but the ******* for this order failed several times and did not processed. Our Billing team has been trying to collect the amount since 2024/1/12. However, these attempts have not been successful. For this reason, your case was forwarded to a third-party debt collector called InDebted. This company is now responsible for the collection of the amount that is currently in debt of $54.23. Feel free to reach out to us if there is anything else. Thanks

  I ordered a delivery for March 13th. I never received this order. I tried calling Marley spoon and emailing their customer service with no response. I opened a dispute with my bank. After a week or two, they contacted me. They told me to cancel the dispute with my bank so they can issue a refund so I did. Now it has been over a month with no refund. They told me my bank has not closed the dispute. I sent them an email confirmation from my bank confirming the dispute was closed. They are claiming they need a response from my bank in order to refund me after promising if I close the dispute, I would get my refund. I contacted my bank and they cannot reopen the dispute because it was over 30 days ago. I am requesting a refund and Marley spoon will not issue it as promised making up excused to holding my money.

  I started a subscription with Marley Spoon because Ive been looking for Meal Kit deliveries to save time and money on groceries and have fewer leftovers. I wanted to postpone my first delivery, since we were going to be out of town. I tried to change the delivery date and it would not give me any options to change it. I called customer service and told them about my dilemma, and wanted to cancel the box completely so I wouldnt waste my money on food that couldnt be eaten. They then told me, my delivery date was different than what it said on the app. I was ok with the new date, but I did not get to choose any of our meals. So I asked if we could change the meals ordered since the app chose for me and would not let me edit it. **************** did absolutely nothing for me. The delivery date is over a week away and they told me it was too late to make any changes. I thought this to be ridiculous since we still have an entire week until the delivery. They told me also they will not refund me and I have to deal with what they send me. I told them the new date was ok since it was a few days before we leave to go out of town, and that I could make it work and hopefully freeze whatever we cant use. However, Im receiving food that no one in my family likes much and we will probably not end up eating anyway and its very frustrating. All customer service kept saying to me was its to late, we cant do anything for you, we refuse to give you a refund and to basically deal with what you get. Well after hearing that I have deactivated my account and plan to look elsewhere for meal kit delivery services. My first box being delivered will also be our last, Im not impressed with this company.

  Hi ****,
  
  Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience.
  
  We would like to clarify that the cutoff time to skip or make changes to your order was 11:59 PM on April 25th. This information is available on our website, in the app, and outlined in our Terms & Conditions. As we received your request to modify your order on April 26th, unfortunately, we had already passed the cutoff and were no longer able to make any changes, cancel, or refund the order scheduled for delivery on April 29th.
  
  We have these deadlines in place to ensure we can source the freshest ingredients directly from our trusted farmers and suppliers, while also minimizing food waste. We completely understand that this might not have been the experience you were hoping for, and we truly regret any inconvenience this caused.
  
  We appreciate your feedback, and while were sorry to see you go, we will take your experience into account as we continue working to improve our service.
  
  Thank you again for trying Marley Spoon, and we wish you the best in finding a meal kit service that suits your needs.
  
  Warm regards.

  My package arrived late, damaged, items leaking, and meat much warmer than 40 degrees. I initially chatted with their customer support about concern this would happen, and she assured me that their packaging would keep things safe, but she sent me email to use just in case. I reported this online and shared 25 pictures with explanations AND emailed them by replying to the email. Having gotten no response, I used their online system multiple times, including earlier today, but they ignore everything. I was going to cancel my membership, but the option says there is no refund for anything already prepaid. This seems like a scam keeping someone's money when they are in error and are refusing to respond, hoping that the customer will give up and go away.

  Dear *** ********, Were very sorry for the experience youve had and deeply regret the condition in which your box arrived, as well as the frustration caused by the situation overall. This is far from the standard we aim to provide, and we understand how disappointing it must have been to receive your order late, damaged, and in unacceptable condition. Please rest assured that your concerns were taken seriously. Weve reviewed your case and can confirm that a full refund was issued for your April 4th order. An email was sent confirming this. We also received and addressed your request to cancel your subscription and prevent any future charges a second confirmation email was sent regarding that as well. We sincerely apologize for the delay in our initial response and for any impression that your concerns were being ignored. Were working internally to ensure this doesnt happen again. We kindly ask that you check your inbox (and spam or promotions folder, just in case) for our communications. If anything is unclear or if you have further questions, youre welcome to reply directly to the email, and our team will follow up promptly.

   I requested a full refund of everything that I paid, and they are forcing me to keep (and pay for) the meal that was set up for this Friday. Based on this situation, the right thing to do was refund me for everything, including the meals to arrive on Friday. I'm willing to accept their delivery at no cost to me as a way for them to sincerely makeup for the horrible situation, but they did not refund me for that shipment, and that is unacceptable to me.

  Hi! Weve reviewed your case and can confirm that a full refund was issued for your April 4th order. An email was sent confirming this. We have also addressed and cancelled your subscription as reeusted and also sent an email confirmation to you. Unfortunately, we are not able to cancel and refund the order that was processed before your cancellation request was made. 
  Marley Spoon is a weekly subscription-based service, which is communicated on our website and in our correspondence.
  We offer our customers the opportunity to skip deliveries in the settings of their account at any time, in advance, and there is also the option to deactivate the subscription at any time after sign-up should they only want to receive the first box. What we also offer is the chance to choose recipes in the account so if a customer doesn't want a box or doesn't like the options available they can change them.
  If neither of the above actions is communicated to us to complete or done by the customer at home before the procurement deadline, then a box with pre-selected options will be sent out as part of the weekly subscription.
  Our procurement deadline is in the terms and conditions of our service. Once this date has passed we purchase the ingredients from our suppliers and pay for shipping, which is the reason we give out the deadline to our customers. Once this date has passed we can no longer cancel or process a refund for an order. I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by this. Feel free to contact our customer care team if there is anything else we can help you with. Warm regards.

  I understand the policy and the impact, but they should have exceptions to their policies when THEY FAIL TO DELIVER QUALITY SERVICE. They acknowledged their mistake. I privy them with plenty of details and evidence to also take up the mastery with the delivery service. All they did was refund the meals that were already unsafe to keep due to their poor packaging and errors by the delivery service, but they still made me keep and pay for the next meal because it was too late to cancel it when we experienced the problem for which they carry full responsibility. The right thing to have done if they could not cancel that next delivery was to not charge me for it. Furthermore, I was using a promotion that provided higher discounts for earlier meals, so the meal they messed up on was less expensive, which they refunded, and the next meal which I did not want after the poor delivery that they forced me to keep due to their policy was more expensive. If they insisted on charging me, the least any reputable business should have done without the customer saying this is to at least give the better discount on the meal they force on the customer after their own faulty delivery. This business' practices are among the worst examples of how to properly serve your customers.

  Ordered meals from Marley Spoon. It was supposed to be delivered mid day Saturday, February 8th. It was not received and Marley Spoon never alerted me it was delayed. I received an email from *************** it was delayed and would be delivered the next day. This is perishable food and I did not receive it until around 8pm on Sunday February 9th. (24 hours later) When I opened box the ice bags were warm and food spoiled. I have attempted to contact Marley Spoon to get a refund and they never respond,. I called them today. February 10th and held awhile and I was told they would call me back. They never did. I want my refund.
