The meal choice has improved unfortunately the delivery is very problematic with missing ingredients, poor quality ingredients, missing recipe cards, replaced ingredients, open and spilt ingredient packs, poor customer service - today’s response from customer service “Due to the attitude that you have provided I will not add the credit and I will not be assistance you any further” this is when i informed them that I again was missing recipe cards, ingredients missing, ingredients replaced and less importantly chicken that was not diced but when you have rheumatoid arthritis in your hands it is significant. What a response to write into a chat box from a customer service agent very disappointing

We have been using Gousto for nearly two years and we have never had any problems with items missing etc. The attitude from the Customer Service is appalling and if I had that response I would definitely not use them again.

What a very rude reply to genuine problems that are not just one offs.
I suspect it’s an Ai response but unacceptable all the same.
I’d try and contact them another way if I were you, quite often a poor review works.
Can you change to another company that do similar meal boxes such as Hello Fresh?

Before retirement I used Gousto, the quality and service was impressive.

Write an email to the CEO?
Sounds rude.

Have you got the full transcript of the conversation Moyode?
I would lodge a complaint if I were you.

Goodness, I am surprised.
Various family members have had Gousto deliveries without difficulties over the last six or seven years.

Do hope you get an apology and better service from now on.

My family order the Gousto meal plans occasionally it fits in with their busy lives. I personally think its a good idea for them as portion size is just right and they don't waste food. I don't think they ever had issues I know if they did they wouldn't order again.
Sometimes when they prepare their own meals they have made too much. Quite a few times I have been there and irritated as I hate food waste. It is a good service decent overall cost reasonable portion size my family like them.
