Thrive Market

I purchased a reduced item with Thrive for a few bucks. It was very easy to get hooked into ordering more healthy products. A few weeks later I was charged a ridiculous membership fee. From what I see here, so has everyone else. I can tell you I am an educator and read everything. There was no bill of sale at the end of my first order eluding to the purchase of an annual membership. In fact, when i first logged on, the only button I could push was "shop" after filling out my email address. I filed a complaint with my credit card company to have the fee removed. Now I have to retrieve my credit card on file because you can't automatically remove it from their site. This is a very shady business. If you don't mind purchasing a sixty dollar membership, and have extra money to shell out, by all means shop here and save gas.

First-order came in a timely fashion and everything was packaged well, nothing liquid broke. Every happy about this purchase. I'm finding many items I buy from other places for better prices here and I like the Thrive brand of Organics. Also, it is really nice to be able to shop specifically for my diet and add in other filters to get more specific items I like, it's always a struggle at the grocery to find gluten-free items that are also organic. I was very happy with the wide selection, even though we are in this pandemic most items were available (but it is understandable the items that are quickly out of stock).

Placed one order with them before realizing they were going to charge a yearly membership fee for a service I didn't want. They don't provide the normal cancellation options that other websites do, so you have to call. Apparently my request to cancel must have gotten lost since I am still getting charged almost $60, since you have to call by phone there is no good way to show a record of your request to cancel. It's a huge scam and I have filed a transaction dispute with my bank - waiting to see what will happen.

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.
