The veges are so close to turning you might need to cook the 5meals within 2 nights. The meat is close to expiry and has heaps of extra preservative like juices that turn green when you freeze.... See more

So thrilled with my Bargain Box Christmas meal. It was better than I expected. So easy to prepare - we fed 16 people - and everyone loved the selection. We were still eating ham 2 days later! Would highly recommend - even the packaging and ice packs which I replaced after two days so I didn't have to use up valuable fridge space. Top marks for convenience, deliciousness and price. Thank you Bargain Box - will definitely order again.

Packing waste excessive but yet somehow food is always damaged…tried to cancel a box almost 7 days in advance due to leaving for a family emergency but not able to. No compassion or flexibility. Expensive and bland meals that you often need to add extra seasoning to.

First box turn up with ice pack gone split and over menu cards and all through box. Rice pack split all through the box. Told to go buy some rice and they won't send replacement. Stay away

If i could give zero stars I would. They took my money sent shit to the wrong address and refuse to issue a refund. Now I'm down $150 with 4 children to feed for the week. This company are no better than common thieves.

WARNING do not use their food bags as you will never escape. They charge you for bags without any notification, and then after I cancelled my account, 3 months later they have reinstated it and signed me up for deliveries again!!!! Deeply disappointing that a kiwi company such as this is engaging in such underhanded tactics.

Bargain Box has been an absolute life saver when it comes to feeding our flat. We used to be stuck with spaghetti bolognaise each week but new we have epic variety that even includes Fish. The recipes are easy to follow plus we usually always have leftovers for next day's lunch.

Charged me full price for a box that should have had a discount applied. Emailed me about 5pm on the Monday. I only seen this Tuesday .or ijg and contacted them straight away to tell them to either reinstate the discount or cancel my order. They said they wouldn't do either. Horrible customer service, confusing phone app and the pricing is only OK when it's discounted. All the meals have spinach and rice.

Very convenient and fast delivery. But unfortunately the meals the for 2 adults and 2 children were only 600gm of meat per meal. This is not enough, it's just mostly veges in each dish. We are a very meaty family so 800gm of meat per meal would have been better. Also we found there were no left overs, it was just enough or we had to add extra meat to make the meal more fulling. Not worth the money for our family unfortunately.

Sighed up for the first week $50 off and get BBQ pack for second week order. They didn’t send BBQ pack for second week so I called them and complained. Their excuse is that promotion expired on the day I signed up there is no promotion deal on the system.
I canceled my subscription. I don’t like their fake promotion to get new subscribers! And also vegetable is not fresh, average meals.
Definitely not a bargain box.

Thought we would give it a go to make life easier. But it was super bland meals and half of them seemed like they needed something else with them to make it more of a meal. one of them (pulled beef) tasted like catfood I quickly unsubcribed

I found the quality of produce so poor. The meat and bagged veggies often smell rancid. The food is always thrown into the bag in a hurry, which often leads to damaged goods, ripped packets of rice, damage to cans etc. The meals themselves are nothing special. Especially the Asian meals which are often inedible. Flavours are a let down. I subscribed to make life easier but it's not worth it. If I could give it 0 stars I would.

I wish I could give negative stars. Changed address, but they delivered at old place. Then I was promised a call back with resolution. NO CALL. So I called again and was told that they will deliver within 3 hours. It was never delivered, do they took my money for j9 food. Nadia lim absolutely is selling a lie.

Buyer beware. Be VERY careful as they will charge you for a delivery even after you cancel your subscription. Their "Customer Love" team will then tell you they cannot do anything about it and go on to charge you full price.
Disingenuous at best, dishonest at worst.

How do you add the pictures to this.
Complained and had "Eva Sandwich" (with a sandwich emoji) reply
I am so sorry that some of your produce was damaged in your delivery! Unfortunately, we cannot send out replacements, I cannot however, process a credit onto your account for these items.
I hadn't asked for anything just sent the picture and asked about the veges being rotten.
Can't even have real people to speak to customers all AI

Horrible service rotten food and refuse to stop orders even when speaking to them and just keep taking money. Thieves at best. Shame on you.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up with BB. But what a pleasant surprise.
The quality of the ingredients is right up there and the variety of the meals is to be complimented. Not a single repeat in almost three months.
Finally the convenience is what makes it for me....everything portioned out and ready to use without needing to plan and buy ingredients.

Meals were easy to cook and delicious. Our kids enjoyed different flavours each day. They are now making dinners for the family.

It’s great! Got two kids I’m a busy mom and sometimes I just dont have it all together. Bargain box fills in the days I don’t know what to cook or don’t have much time. Really easy, tasty dishes, generous portions and really fresh produce. Highly recommend
