“Ordered three recipes to try this out- a chicken salad (most of salad ingredients were missing), burgers (buns completely missing) and a Sri Lankan chicken curry (chicken was missing). Not a way to encourage me to use them again- I can't make any of the meals.”

“Gousto use Hermes ( now called evri) as one of their couriers! Say no more! I ordered 5 times and only received 2 deliveries that came by yodel, the other 3 were Hermes and never arrived. Moving over to hello fresh who do not use Hermes.”

“We have had four boxes from gousto so far and everything has been great apart from the chicken. The quality is very poor. It smells terrible when you open the packaging. So we let it breathe and put it on a plate for 15 minutes and then started cutting it and the smell was still terrible. There are alot of chicken dishes we like but we are having to purchase our own chicken which means it far from cost effective. Come on gousto sort it out lots of people are saying the same thing”

“Very poor customer service Missing products, mouldy pepper, squashed herbs, an avocado that looked like it had been used as a football and delivered at 9pm Promise to credit account but never do Concept is great idea and makes meals easier if you want to eat at 10pm”

“Allegedly ordered a box, they were unable to take payment. I am on holiday and can't take delivery - Gousto refused to cancel even though not due for another few days.”

“Like so many others started off good but three times now i have had a problem with there delivery company that they use YODEL 2x they said my box was delivered it wasnt and now i have just been told that my box that is due today wont be here until tomorrow which is no use as I am back to work so off to the shops I go, there customer service is terrible you get no where with them so unfortuntly this was there last chance i will be canceling and going to another food subscription company.”

“It started so well! Great food, great recipes for a good few weeks.Then the next box was late arriving. Ok , no biggie. The next week I got an email for the next box saying it couldn't be delivered on the right day. A bit more annoying. Then for the next box I got text on the Sunday saying that the delivery company had the box but by Tuesday it still hadn't arrived. I rang Gousto-they didn't know where is was, but they'd check and email me. Thirty mins later I got an email explaining that they were sorry but they couldn't offer me an NHS discount. I hadn't even ask for a discount. I don't even work for the NHS. I rang the call centre and they said they didn't know where the box was and couldn't guarantee the quality of the ingredients if/when it arrived. Gousto is supposed to be a service to make my life easier, not harder. Sadly, I'm had to cancel my subscription.”

“Very unhappy with customer service we have been charged twice this week and have sent proof with a screenshot of my statement but they have still not refunded money. Received email that made no sense and have had to ring again today and still not sorted .”

“The cancellation button clearly doesn’t work, as it was the second time I cancelled and it arrived. Anyway I cancel was cancel my direct debit, now they’re chasing me for a payment. I don’t have time for this kind of nonsense, such an inconvenience”

“Box arrived one day late, then was missing most of one of the recipes ingredients. Then i weighed the meat which was more than 10% underweight. The i had to throw away x2 steaks as they were so tough i couldnt even feed them to the dog. Customer service refused to refund for the inedible meal. Then they have the cheek to charge me x2 amounts on my credit card for orders i have no made. Its criminal. Stay away from guosto they used to be good but now its completely scandalous.”

“Absolutely awful customer service nothing but trouble. Been charged twice for one box and cannot get a refund!! Do not use Gusto. Tried live chat, email and telephone. Ordered a box for my sons birthday as he’s at Uni. Box didn’t arrive. But was charged. Ordered another box the next week to see if this worked, but was charged again!!! Cannot get the refund”

“Boxes arrive late at 9pm or next day, spoilt. YOu end up having to phone the delivery company then Gousto several times to try and resolve. Cannot get a refund for the life of me. Three weeks in and hours wasted on the chat and phone to a foreign call centre. Currently on my 5th chat to get a full box refund. Have been promised refunds and discount for short life food and missing items previously, have discovered that my account was not credited for these either. Utter shambles! Have changed to Hello Fresh, deliveries arrived , so far, on time with good customer service. Really liked the idea of Gousto and had a couple of good boxes. Just a shame they cannot get this right as other companies clearly can and have now got my business. Until they sort our their infra structure AVOID at all costs! p.s I am still in a chat as they are referring me to the finance team, excuse me as I don't hold my breath!”

“If I could give them less than 1 star I would. I cancelled my order and two weeks later have been charged for a box that I don't want. Online chat is awful and the customer service is shocking.”

“Box contained a rotten shalott. Also short of one red onion. I was very unhappy with the way you are automatically put onto a subscription, without being able to try first. I cancelled everything, but still received a second box. I was told to just throw the food away and they would refund the cost! What a waste! Criminal!”

“If I could leave less I would… - Consistently left items out meaning my convenient way of skipping the supermarket shop meant I had to continuously go to the supermarket. - Repeatedly sent a week’s worth of food (four meals) that had to be eaten within 2 or 3 days due to short dates. - Freshness of vegetables is terrible. Carrots turn black and shrivel within a couple of days. - Won’t refund, simply apply credit when this happens even though which attempts to trap you into keeping a subscription. Customer service is TERRIBLE via chat. I’ve cancelled my subscription and I’m left out of pocket because they’ll apply credit to my account but won’t refund me money. Honestly, just avoid. Disappointing on every level.”

“I'm leaving Gousto. I'm not happy to do it but they've been missing items a lot more frequently than they used to (which still happened fairly regularly when I started with them over a year ago). Nowadays I can't get a single box without multiple items and ingredients missing. The good thing about Gousto is that the recipes they have are great. A few of my favourites have been discontinued but that's fine. The delivery has always been perfect unlike some other people's experience here. I've never had a problem with the chicken either, it's always been very good. I just hope they resolve their issue with packing so I can go back to using Gousto.”

“I've been using Gousto for a while now. The meals are fantastic and super convinient, however I am going to have to cancel my order based on delivery. My boxes usually never arrive until 8pm and despite numerous complaints to Gousto and numerous refunds they seem completely unwilling to do anything about it. Then again if you're using Yodel as a delivery company you must be willing to lose customers!”

“Great recipes, 99% of the time it was brilliant. But unfortunately an order containing rotten chicken has put me off for life. I can't order from somewhere that supplies rotten chicken. The veg and herbs have always been a bit close to turning but, I can accept that. Not chicken!! And what compensation was I offered I hear you ask?! A £6 credit to my account. They didn't even refund the entire meal. Bye gousto, you've just lost yet another weekly customer.”
