I have enjoying high quality products, ease of ordering, speed of delivery and impressive packing for 5 years.
The last 3 orders, (I order approx. Once a month), the packing has been inadequate and sloppy.
Hard objects crushed soft objects. Sometimes there were leaking soups. A lot less wrapping and cushioning was being used. I reported the 1st time I received damaged items and was issued a reimbursement coupon. The next two times I received damaged packages I didn't bother notifying Thrive. They have gone from amazing packing to messy, thoughtless packing.

I have been very very pleased with their customer service. A bottle of salad dressing arrived and had been broken during shipment. They quickly and happily replaced it. I love the way you can shop by diet preference. This makes shopping so easy and convenient. Thank you, Thrive Market!
Sorry to hear about the damaged dressing however we're glad we could take care of it for you!
I love Thrive. I really like that you can sorry by diet. They carry so many of the products we use every day and they are less expensive than specialty stores we shop. It's also convenient that everything is shipped!
We're so happy to be able to make your grocery shopping a bit more convenient, thanks for sharing!
I'm not fond of not being able to check out as a guest. The fact that I had to enter my email address before I could see my order's subtotal is NOT appreciated. Then the "become a member or we'll charge you double shipping on a small order of minimal weight. All together trying to gain customers through tricks and traps instead of earning their trust through good products and good service - bad marketing plan.
Hi Erin, thanks for your feedback. As a courtesy to the brands we carry at greatly discounted prices, we do have to require a membership in order to shop. The membership is what allows us to provide our deals and discounted prices, thanks for your understanding!
Thrive has a great thing going. I've been a member just over 2 years. The Quality is always good. Shipping is free with a $50 order... I haven't necessarily noticed prices to be less, but quality is dependable and pricing is comparable, plus it shows up on my back porch. I don't have to go look for things which is a benefit too. I love the packing materials, totally recyclable and eco friendly. Rock on!
Thank you for your review! Keep on Thriving!
With a houseful of kids with different eating needs/preferences, Thrive helps me keep the pantry stocked with gluten free, dairy free, all kinds of staples from pasta to snacks. It has saved me trips and $ at the store, and their service is excellent. I wish they could re-stock faster after they run out of key items, but other than that - a real time and money-saver!
We're so glad to hear we've been able to save your family some time and money! Thanks for the feedback, Rachel!
I'm so glad Thrive Market exists. They are the perfect alternative to running around to various different stores for this, that, and the other thing, sometimes in different states. I can get it all in one online shopping site, save loads of $ in the process, and it's always delivered in good time and packed with care, very conscientiously. Please never go out of business, Thrive!
Christopher - we plan on sticking around for a long time! Thank you for being a loyal member!
I was going to place an order but I never finished. The next thing I know they're taking $60 out of my account for a Thrive membership. They said well you have Thrive cash, but didn't tell me it expires in 60 days. They would not refund my money and I never ordered from them even though they have some really great products.
Thank you for your feedback, Stephany. We apologize for any misunderstanding of our membership model. Thrive Market is a membership-based marketplace and the registration wall is something we do to protect our brand partners who are not comfortable with our deeply discounted prices being publicly visible. While previous membership fees are nonrefundable, upcoming renewals may be canceled at any time.
My daughter and I are both dairy free and egg free; however she is also wheat free and try to limit sugars as much as possible. I can very deeply about finding good clean quality products that are affordable. I am a full time working mom who also caters on the side and being able to find certain products online versus spending 3 hours plus in a car is totally worth it! Keep it up Thrive Market!
Thank you for your review! We're glad you're enjoying your products! Thrive On!
I have been a Thrive member for over 2 years and right now am regretting renewing. Most of their products are out of stock and for days the website has not accepted online orders due to volume. (I do understand that our world is in crisis) I contacted customer service asking for my membership dues be refunded as online ordering was suspended and when open little or no product is in stock, and was told the membership that renewed in March was non refundable. Terrible customer care.
Thank you for your feedback. Like many other retailers, the unprecedented amount of orders have extended processing times and increased some out of stock products. All of our teams are working around the clock to ensure we are providing the most products to our members and processing orders as quickly and safely as we can.
Thrive Market is awesome. Everyone who is complaining about being charged $59 for their annual membership fee should really learn to read. On the front page of their site and all across the site it clearly states that it's a membership. At any rate, the membership is totally worth it. Plus, they give you a thirty day free trial to see if you like it. Great! Sign me up! The only problem I have with them is that they should be able to process and ship orders quicker to compete with Amazon. Amazon has every single product Thrive does and I can get it the next day or in two days. With Thrive, it takes a week. That's just too long for me.
Hi Pepper- Thank you so much for your feedback. Please understand that we never want to disappoint a valued customer like you. Sometimes, however, we fail to do so due to factors such as courier delays which are out of our control. Orders can take between 24-72 hours to process, and we are working to improve our ship times.
My first order came fast and exactly when they said it would. It was well packed and I was very happy with everything in it. The drain cleaner worked really well! Just needed serum and this saves me the trip. Threw in a couple of other things to try. Quality of everything has been excellent and some products I was already buying. Highly recommend, especially if you're a teacher because they'll waive the membership fee. I really appreciate that because virtual teaching is harder and more time consuming that teaching in real life.
We appreciate you, Patty! Being able to offer free memberships to our educators is very important to us - and is just a small token of our appreciation for all that you and other educators do for our society.
I started buying from Thrive Market before the latest national problems. I live in a small town in East Texas and we are many miles from a good store that provides organic and other foods we like. Every time I place an order I save myself from having to drive over 100 miles round trip, plus the pricing is excellent and I get the opportunity to give a little to a family in need. Thank you for being here for us. And your orders are always packed so well. Have never had a damaged item.
Thank you for your review! We're glad we can make your life a little easier. Thrive On!
The $60 annual membership is worth the price. I was able to save that and more on my first purchase. If you are on a special diet, looking for clean, eco-friendly beauty and cleaning brands, or simply love high quality food, beverages and snacks, this is the place for you. The customer service is amazing, I received my order very quickly and a day before its stated arrival, and my cold items were placed in special packaging. My glass bottled were also insulated in bubble wrap. The box itself is also marked with a note to please recycle it. It's been a fantastic experience thus far, and I recommend Thrive Market to any and everyone for both its value and quality products that you may not find anywhere else.
We're so happy to hear about your experience with us! Thanks for being a member, Maribel!
The reason I decided not to continue with Thrive is b/c I was unaware that once you purchase something from them they automatically sign you up for a trail membership for 30 days. If you do not cancel they charge your credit card $60. They claim that this is expressed at checkout, which it may be but they put it in the small fine print at the very bottom of your transaction, 90% of all human beings do not read the "fine print" on a grocery website. That was my mistake. Thrive should make it visible on their web page where people can actually see it.
When I called the cancel it was actually very seamless. I just wish they were more up front with the membership details and made their new customers aware that they are being signed up for a trial, just not very trustworthy.
Hi Brittnee- I apologize that this came as a surprise. As a membership-based company, we offer a 30-day free trial that begins with the first Thrive Market purchase. After the trial, we charge the annual fee for our services, as noted just under the checkout amount on the checkout page. We also send trial members an email reminder a few days before the membership is activated. It is not uncommon for customer's to find our emails in their spam. We try to be as transparent as possible regarding our membership model.
I recently was accepted in the the Thrive Gives program and am overwhelmed with gratitude. As a single mom in a small town trying to eat healthy and obtain health conscious foods is quite the task. This allows me to take my time shopping and review products thoroughly. I love that I am able to get house cleaning, bath, food, and beyond in one place. The emphasis on green packaging is incredibly refreshing and I appreciate those efforts immensely. I'm really happy about joining thrive and being gifted with the Thrive gives account. I plan to pay it forward in my community when I'm able to. Thank you.
We're so happy to be able to make healthy shopping easier for you and your family, thanks for being a member!
Thrive is a very well run business that puts customer service 1st. The product offerings are really excellent. The dry goods are great, lots of organic choices in groceries, pet food, personal care products. The wine selections are fantastic, and free of a lot of the additives that can cause headaches and digestion issues. The frozen meat and seafood options are really quite good as well. Thrive also contributes a lot towards low income, and other people in need during natural disasters, etc. I feel good about supporting this company.
We're so happy to hear you're enjoying everything, Eyahna, thanks for sharing!
I initially came across Thrive Market a few years ago when I was in search of allergy friendly products. I took on a severe corn allergy at the age of 30 (epi pen severe) and became terrified to eat. Corn isn't a recognized allergen by the FDA, there is little to no medical research on it's effects... and it is hidden in countless sub ingredients. As you can imagine it took me a couple of years to learn what I can and cannot have (this makes eating out near impossible btw). The transparency that Thrive Market provides with ingredients and quality of brands makes me feel deeply safe when eating, when actually being able to eat things that will nourish my body. It also makes it even better when I know I'm shopping at a place that gives back, reduces its carbon foot print, and cares so much about sustainably sourced products. I'm truly grateful for Thrive Market and the food freedom it has provided me with in my life of a Severe Corn allergy and recent Onset Celiac diagnosis.
Sustainability and transparency are very important to us at Thrive Market. We're so glad we've been able to help you out, thanks for sharing!
I've been a Thrive member for 3 years now. We love that they carry our favorite brands and lower prices on most over retail shopping. I love how they are always introducing new products and include samples or free items with most orders. When we get our orders, most of the time everything is packed and protected really well. My only real complaint is at least %50 of the time the estimated delivery date is off, sometimes way off. Even before the virus most estimated delivery dates are off by 2-5 days.
Thank you for your feedback! If you still continue to experience this issue once we return to our standard shipping times, please let us know so we can direct this to either our couriers or tech team to locate any issue that may be occurring.
Thrive Market charges a membership fee of 59.95 automatically after first order and then annually. This is pretty steep for a one time use.
Customer service is horrible.
No phone line service, only online chat seriously messed up!
They refused to refund membership fee.
Thank you for reaching out, and we're sorry that this caught you by surprise. It sounds like you were enrolled in our free 30-day trial membership that began when you placed your order. We do our best to communicate how the trial membership works on our website, at checkout for your first order, and in an email reminder 5 days before the charge is processed. At the end of the 30-day period, we charge the $59.95 annual membership fee, and we guarantee that you’ll make it back in savings over the year. We provide 24/7 chat, email, phone and SMS services if you don't feel the membership will work out. Again, we’re sorry your experience wasn’t better—please contact our Member Services team at help@thrivemarket.com if you have any additional questions or issues and we’ll be happy to resolve them.

Answer: Membership is $75 annually but it is less for families who qualify and they donate membership for those in extreme need. I don't know what that limit is. Just the fact they do this is amazing.
Answer: Not well, I am on a med that causes insomnia... actually more than one. And when I do sleep, I wake up feeling unrested.
Answer: Call Thrive's customer service. They really are helpful. If they won't reverse the charge, contact your credit card company and dispute the transaction.
Answer: Hi Luana, Thrive Gives is one of the most important aspects of our mission as it allows us to make healthy living easy and affordable for ALL Americans. Thrive distributes the one-for-one memberships in partnership with charitable organizations who service families in need. Weve issued thousands of memberships to low income families, teachers, students, veterans, and first responders and we see no end in sight. We're doing a number of things to make the membership more useful for Thrive Gives recipients. We are launching content and curriculum that will help educate Thrivers who are new to healthy living, which will be specifically targeted towards our Gives membership recipients. We have also merchandised a Staples section on our website to make the product catalog more accessible for our Thrive Gives families. There are many more improvements in progress that we're excited about! How are candidates selected? Our criteria looks at individual and family income as well as profession, including all veterans, teachers, students, and first responders. Our goal is to identify those who would benefit most from the gift of membership and free access to our savings and products. How do you apply? Think you or someone you know might qualify? Applications can be submitted directly on our website or by simply clicking here. Once submitted, please allow us 1-3 business days to reach out with the status of your application. It's been so great to see the warm reception of our social mission! Thanks so much for expressing interest in Thrive Gives. And thanks for choosing Thrive Market.
