Thrive Market

I learned about THRIVE MARKET in 2016. I was searching for a great online website that wasn't AMAZON to buy the kinds of organic EVERDAY foods that I eat & like without being limited & BAM. I saw them looked over the website. While I read the raving reviews. I joined by THRIVE market by purchasing a 6 month membership at the time.

So proud that I wasn't disappointed at ALL! What was really impressive to me & touched my heart was. At the end of checkout when it's time to pay for your items you're given the opportunity to donate a percentage of funds to those less fortunate so they could get great healthy affordable organic foods for themselves or their families. Whenever I was able to I'd stretch my budget a bit EXTRA & donate because I was there before. & God alone knows what the future holds.

I also HIGHLY recommend their poultry, meats & seafood boxes if you're on a budget or have a large family. From organic free range chicken to grass fed beef, to wild caught seafood? You cannot beat it especially if you can't afford to join an online mandatory, monthly meat & seafood package like me. You can buy as needed without any strings attached. Everything is FRESH & the quality is TOP NOTCH!
I appreciate it ALL. From the spectacular customer service both thru the call center or online chat, the sustainable items used in packing it, to the SUPERB quality of the food.

To say I'm EXTREMELY pleased is an understatement.: 0) I've been telling my colleagues, family, friends, even strangers about this AWESOME site! Thrive is a necessity for my Mom & I... We GENUINELY appreciate & love you guys! I hope to ALWAYS support you!

While I appreciate the convenience and curated product selection, I've encountered several issues that have made it difficult to justify continuing my membership. Most notably, many of the items I want are often out of stock when it's time to place my order, even if they were previously in my cart. This has happened repeatedly and undercuts the whole value proposition. More concerning, however, was a recent order where I received a single jar of mayo—nothing else, and was charged $15 for shipping. This felt excessive and left me wondering how this type of fulfillment decision made it past quality control. Combined with pricing that is often comparable to or higher than my local grocery store or direct retailers, the overall experience has been disappointing.

Thrive is way hyped up and just did not meet my expectations. Definitely good if you an influencer and are receiving free items and or paid to purchase and give reviews, but for the regular people…it's definitely all hype.

I really love the idea of a healthy market with better products and ingredients. That being said, I do not like the format of having to pay for a membership. Walmart offers a very similar product with many similar groceries for free. Even with purchasing the membership on discount, it feels unnecessary. I also do not the format on the website of everything being "on sale" and "marked down". It feels like everything was just marked up and then "discounted" to make people feel good about their purchase. Many of these same items I can find for the same price or cheaper at other stores.

Poor customer service from abroad, of course. Bring customers back to the USA. Gift with purchase doesn't work most of the times / not offered. Products are relatively expensive for what they are and often found cheaper elsewhere. The auto replenish is annoying and if one is not careful, it auto-ships the entire cart in a month. By default they have this "worker safety" surcharge fee on all orders. You can turn it off but by default they add it. Thrive misleadingly does the above to squeeze every penny from you while paying a $60/yr membership - as if that was not enough in itself.

It says I've saved over $159 dollars so far from my first order... ummmm, well, we can debate that. Also, at the checkout, it said if I 'ship now' vs my regular ship date, I'll save an additional $17(ish). So I went ahead and shipped now. Saw no difference in my credit card charge...
I'm sure it's a lovely company and I'll definitely try it again, but so far based on these, I will watch my charges and savings closely.

Had used them many years ago and thought I'd give them another try...still lacking in giving what was advertised when I signed up...trying to get you at every corner. Glad I only signed up for a month so I can cancel.
