Thank you for sharing this review! I have looked at doing thrive market a few times but it’s frustrating that they don’t let you see what they actually offer before you join. I don’t want to pay $5 to find out that I don’t actually want to purchase anything! It’s helpful to see what they offer!
completely agreed!!!!
For real lol canceling our Wholesale membership to possibly do this..
Most companies force you to pay to look. But I think maybe they can refund you if you call right away that you see you don't want anything.
Yeah I tried to, it was frustrating.
Agreed! This is what keeps me from joining too! I want proof it’s worth it. 🤷♀️
I agree with another comment that I would have tried this a long time ago if they allowed viewing the products before you join. It was a major negative that they charged you for shipping when it was basically their fault. The $5 per month isn’t a deterrent for me, because I wouldn’t order if I didn’t meet the threshold. I avoid grocery shopping at all costs so this could be a good additional resource.
I won't join this due to the fact they will not allow you to browse the site before deciding if you wish to join. They want your credit card info before even allowing you to look. Now why would
Anyone give your personal financial info just to look at something. They were very rude when I questioned this practice.
My main goal is to replace all my kids school lunch snacks with those that don’t have food coloring or refined oils so live been considering this. But it’s super irritating that they don’t let you read the ingredients or see any of the products until you pay to sign up. I also have no way of knowing how much shipping is so I think I’ll just pass. I’m on a very tight weekly allowance and can barely afford groceries on it as it is and having all these surprise costs is just not an option. It could over draft my account.
Try Aldi brands! They won’t allow due in their branded food
thanks for sharing ur experience, especially about the fact that they charged u an extra $20 in shipping without being up front about it. this is something that definitely will make me reconsider
I’ve been using thrive for pantry/household and Butcherbox for meat!
I have been shopping Thrive Market for a year now and never had anything on auto ship. I am very happy with everything we have received. I have never ordered a frozen box.
I find it a bit weird to pay money to be able to BUY stuff from an online supermarket. And then hearing you don't have standard free shipping is even more weird. It's just strange, it's like standing in front of the entrance at a normal supermarket but you can only get in if you give the bouncer 5 dollars. 😂
I agree! They are going for a Costco "the membership is where we make our money" feel, but with an online shop, we expect Amazon Prime benefits. I just did my first order, and I don't know how I feel about it yet. They have a "store brand," which is expensive compared to most stores, but ingredient-wise, they are competing against pricier health brands.
This is a new thing because when I was a member years ago, you didn’t have to pay to view their products
Sounds like places like costco
Sounds like cuba to me
You can get a refund if after yo using up you don’t like their products.
Thank You for being a REAL REVIEWER
Of course, I hate always seeing sponsored content and you don’t know what you can’t trust!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I saw the ad yesterday, but have been frustrated by the inability to SEE what they offer without joining. Small family with dietary issues so I have to expect (without being able to tell otherwise) that very few things would be an option to purchase whether in-stock or not. Plus some of those things I probably already get discounted from my employer or can more easily get at Costco without having to worry about porch thieves to boot. Due to this alone, will likely pass.
The problems with shipping are troubling even with their compensating you. What they SHOULD have done was held the order while immediately emailing you that enough items were out-of-stock and this took you out of free shipping "Do you still wish to complete the order with shipping costs included?" then give you at least 48 hours to decide. THAT would have been a good business practice.
Would have been nice if you actually compared the prices you paid for each item from Thrive to let's say Amazon Fresh or Whole Foods....
Thank you very much for your honest review. Especially with the freeze section!
Haha it just hit me that even if things are “cheaper” on Thrive you’re still paying the same amount you would in store or delivered like Instacart bc those don’t require to pay for a membership. So it’s like that technically goes to the extra amount that is “more expensive” elsewhere. Well played Thrive, well played.
All depends on how much you buy and how often. $5 is not much. I’d rather pay $5 a month than go to Walmart or Aldi once a week. I don’t have any Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s around. It all depends on what it’s worth to you.
Thanks for your honest review! The freezer box situation would have made me very mad haha. Im still curious about what products are good to buy through them, so more videos on Thrive would be appreciated!
Thank you for the honest review!
Thanks for your honest review !!
Hi and thank you for sharing. I've been thinking about trying Thrive Market. I'm still on the fence; but, thank you for your honest review 😊❤
Of course, hopefully the positives and negatives helped you make your decision!
Thank you for honesty
Thank you very much for your review. Very helpful
Hi Sophie! Great honest video! We love thrive market! I have been using them for several years. Their French roast whole bean coffee is amazing! We buy it on auto ship every six weeks! You’re right it does come even more discounted by doing AutoShip! Several other things I buy from them…. including their spicy brown mustard, primal kitchen ketchup, all of my baking needs like flour and sugar and of course all my spices. I love that they come in bulk packaging and are easily discounted. I would love if they would start offering more and better deals on their frozen food as well. I would be Open and seriously consider doing a frozen box if they would up their game! Thanks for a great review and yes I would be happy to see your monthly unboxedings!
Great video. Thanks❤ I think I’ll pass on their latest offer and wait until they have more selections.
Super helpful, thank you! I almost subscribed to Thrive but this helped me learn I don’t think it’s for me.
Thx, friend. You've convinced me to subscribe to Thrive. Your review was SUPER helpful.
Glad to hear it!
Thanks, I've been wondering if this would work for me. I've decided that it won't. Thanks for the info
Thank you for sharing this review; I have been considering Thrive because they offer organic and cleaner products but I think I'll look for something that has more options.
How much does a loaf of Food for Life Ezekiel 4:9 bread cost? Its $4.50 at my local trader joes. Can you tell me how much you're seeing it on Thrive?
Wow that is a crazy good price! Thrive will price match!
I wouldn't like service like this. How do you know Thrive will not run out of stock again? I wouldn't like having to call about a "them issue"
Thank you 🙏
I like you struggle to drink enough water have you tried the waterdrop system? They have a lot of clean water mixins. The glass bottles are pretty too. I really like the peach/giner flavor of the ones I've tried.
We've never tried Thrive or any of the other "boxes" out there. We don't buy a lot of name brand items, so we've never felt like it would be worth it for us. Great video, though. 😊
Wow, i was planning on trying them out but with your review and opinion on the shipping thing i think I'm just going to wait.
Thank you for sharing.
Of course!
Great video! Can you do a follow up video on your experience with Thrive market?
Absolutely!
7mins in and the shipping issue and customer service was enough to not even consider Thrive Market
Glad it was helpful for you to make your decision!
Great review. I appreciate this. Especially the shipping aspect. I almost got a membership today, but it’s not worth it. They don’t allow you to look through their products before you get a membership and that’s a red flag to me. I feel I would be spending more buying things I don’t need
Helpful video thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I like the products offered by Thrive but also had a shipping issue. I got the notice my autoship would be packed in a few days, went in and edited it that day, and 3 days later when my box shipped it had the original items not the edited ones. Everything is a pantry item or canned drinks so it's fine but it was still frustrating. I received the email notification it shipped, looked at the items, and immediately put in a ticket to have it corrected. By the time customer service got back to me the box had been delivered. Yay for super fast shipping but I don't need that many cinnamon sticks in my life. I do really like the items offered. We live in a pretty rural mountain area and finding whole peppercorns or hop water or less harsh cleaning products is very difficult. I love being able to order it from a good company but they do need to make some changes.
I have thrive but I never use autoship my order changes to much so never really thought it makes sense have to look into the discount tho again
So I gotta pay either $120 a year or $60 upfront and then I still have to pay for the items and shipping? So it's a membership just to shop there? Talk about a scam.
Literally was about to subscribe but then saw this comment. I thought it was like 60 up front and then you get x amount of things per month.
It’s $60 for a year of shopping and you get a $60 gift when you sign up
How is this different from sams club or Costco memberships? I don't see people complaining about those stores and it's the same thing, isn't it?
Difference is you are Allowed to actually see the items and the prices before having to buy the membership. Not after giving your credit card numbers. Plus there are many other benefits. So no you don't get it shipped. UT you don't have to deal with sneaky fees and customer service.
Thanks for explaining. I’m out! ✌️
I'd been thinking of trying Thrive out for some time...after watching your video I signed up, took 20 minutes until I canceled the membership (which you have to do over chat or phone, there is no button to click to cancel). Here's what swayed me to cancel... the link for 40 off, didn't work, when I initially clicked the link, I saw it said 40 off, then after i signed up, it was magically 20% off, up to a max of $20. For frozen items, there is a $20 delivery fee which is waived if your frozen item total is at least $120. The selection was not there for me to get to 120 for just frozen goods, I did try. In general I didn't think there was much of a selection. There's no produce, no dairy. The prices, not that great. They preselect your cart, I didn't see a way to opt out of that and didn't like it, maybe there was a way... I was just not happy at this point and decided to cancel and was more annoyed that I had to chat with someone and say no to the various discounts they were then willing to give me. But at least I tried it, back to Hungryroot.
Thank you for sharing your experience here so others can see as well! There are some definite hoops to jump through with the subscription model
I refuse to jump through hoops.
I've checked out both Thrive & Hungryroot & found both their ads to be misleading. They give the impression they're like a supermarket where you choose the items you want & fill your cart, like the lady in the video shows & also their ads showing a woman at her door receiving a box of "groceries" or the one with the woman showing her refrigerator "packed" with separate items of food like you'd buy at a "grocery store." Not so. First you fill out a form choosing types of food you like & don't like from a list shown, then you give info like how many you're shopping for & how many deliveries a week you want. Then you pick out a "plan," pay for it, without ever seeing the food choices, then you find out this isn't a "market" where you shop for items you want, the food is prepared meals!! I call this false advertising.
I’ve looked at it but doesn’t look like I can use it with how I eat and just two of us. Great video though to see what they have
May 1st common from an investigator researcher I shop at Krogers in Newark Ohio because I only do the organic I'm doing keto I eat nothing boxster can my question is if something is on sale and I know thrive market would have what I buy would they give me the price match guarantee and how do you do that
i tried thrive market with a referral code from another content creator i follow & unfortunately had problems from the get-go. i had to go through the customer service to get the price adjusted because i was charged full price. got that taken care of & tried to do my shopping. i was on a keto diet at the time & many of the items i was trying to source from thrive were always out of stock. i couldn’t hit the minimum threshold to qualify for the free shipping so my cart sat for two months. i ended up canceling because my local grocery store has a robust healthy food section & they started carrying most of what i was trying to order from thrive. did it cost a few cents more? yeah. but my local grocer offers free curbside pickup so i couldn’t rationalize keeping the subscription *in hopes* that my items would come back in stock so that i could make my cart minimum without adding a bunch of random stuff to the basket. i had high hopes for thrive but it didn’t work out in my situation. i’ll keep watching your unboxing videos, though! 😅
Similar issues. Also, in the one box I got, one of the packages had been slit, so there was a big mess inside the box. Also, I didn’t notice that much of savings in the items I could get. I noticed nut pod coffee creamer was more expensive at Thrive than it sold for a at Publix. No thanks.
thank you for the helpful review of this service/products. I really want to love this brand since it embodies everything I want from products, but not being able to see what they have but being paywalled to see is criminal in my eyes. Their reasoning for this is shaky at best, because if competitors felt like they were competing on their prices to such a degree, they'd happily pay the (now) $12 monthly subscription just to pricematch themselves to compete. I'm ready to pay extra for better quality goods, but not offering free shipping or making the minimum less (at least) is also a drawback to me. This has become standard in the e-mart shopping and its hard for me to switch from amazon (I'm willing to wait a few days) for specialty goods I can't access locally.
That is aweful. Not your fault things are out and they charged shipping. They should put other items that are similar and similar price.
😊
They sell that milk at sprouts
✝️🤍😇🔯🐑🧄🕊️👽🔭🎇🌍🌏🌎🤍✝️🦅🇺🇸🍀Holy Psalm 91 Jesus and KathrynMiller say Thankyou for sharing ✝️🤍✝️🤍✝️🦅🇺🇸🍀🍀🍀
I just hate that you can’t see their products before you subscribe
She doesn’t actually start unboxing until 8:08. Youre welcome.
Thanks for tagging it
Thrive market won't save you any money, and they actually didn't give mine back after I wasn't able to find anything worth buying. Shady company, don't honor thwir cancellation and refund policy. Thrive Sucks beware!
Wow that is terrible that they didn't honor it for you...
I thought about joining Thrive, but based on your video, I will NOT be joining.
Love that this helped you make your decision!
I’m sorry because you buy “a lot” you think you should get free shipping…of course you do…hilarious!
They use the free shipping as a selling point. When they charge you shipping because of their screw up its a problem
You can't even see what they have online without joining. So, it's a no from me.
Agree that part is very frustrating!!
Agreed
