I agree completely, although i was happy with the vegetable quality delivered, I found Kelly rude and condescending, even threatening on occasion when I tried to cancel the service – stay well away!

@Kerry – Don’t worry, he is not a perfectly decent gentleman. he is a con artist and a fiend. Stay well away from using Kellys Vegies

Anyway, Im almost certain most of the positive statements are written by Kelly. I have good reason to believe this

I was very bewildered by all comments made on Kelly’s veggies. I have personally recived a number of boxes and never had a problem what is being said is in bad taste and could be ruining a perfectly decent gentlemans business….

Just a quick comment: farmaround are a well established company, I used them in 1995 when I live in South London, and they were just starting there. I was happy with their food. I’ve not used them since, but I’ve not seen bad comments about them online (I searched farmaround + forum to find any posts about them).
I have to agree though that their website is awful, I could not believe how bad it is!

[...] I had considered ordering a vegetable box for a while and Abel & Cole was always at the top of my list thanks to some of the great reviews by people on Twitter. After putting it off for far too long I finally decided to go ahead on Tuesday and was very excitedly awaiting today! [...]

Been using KellysVegies since September and I love them! I am v surprised at the comments on here as all my fruit and veg has been fine and lasted so much longer than shop bought.I have emailed a few times as well and have had a great response !

I have been getting Kelly’s Vegies for a couple of months now and I have been very happy with them, I get the essentials box one week and the large box the week after and I’ve been super pleased with the quality of vegetables. Maybe it’s because I live in Hertfordshire and I happened to get the veggies once they’ve been picked, as they are literally fresh out of the fields. Nothing has been mouldy, and the produce lasts for a good two weeks before it looks sad.

When I joined up it said I could cancel at any time, I haven’t had issues with it being a four week contract? Maybe this is a new thing. I moved to them after Abel and Cole who provided much smaller and worse quality boxes, with so much stuff missing we gave up for a while until I decided to try the free Kelly’s trial. I’m interested and a bit surprised that everyone has had such problems with Kelly’s!

Thought I would read the reviews on Kellys veggies etc and glad I did ! Thanks everyone. I was going to order some veggies from this “outfit” after a leaflet dropped through my letter box – glad I didn’t after the comments made by all who were ripped off and fobbed off with lies and rudeness of this unprofessional,cold individual. COMEUPANCE is a wonderful word – he will get that very shortly when his business folds !!

and I agree, Kelly is very very rude and does not answer questions if you have any problems! hence why I have gone to trading standards. absolute con artists!

kellys veggies send battered and mouldy fruit and veg and what is worse, they are a scam. they ask for a weeks notice to cancel with them, I gave 8 days notice via email yet they took pyament for a further box and are saying that I gave only one days notice?!!!! they even replied to my email when giving notice!!! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!! Abel and Cole all the way!

I have to say I agree wholeheartedly with these reviews. The vegetables I recieved were very low quality after the first box, and kelly is a rude person.

Kelly’s veggies! Rude rude rude!
After receiving our initial free box, we ordered 3 more £12 boxes, then as it didn’t work for us we cancelled before receiving our final box. Didn’t receive things we had requested and got much smaller portions, reply to an email was very rude suggesting that people who cancel should put up with what they get!! Don’t go near them with a barge pole

Joe, the owner of Kellys Vegies is Kelly Wheeler. He’s a terrible terrible person, he will rip off even his friends! Trust me, I used to be one of his friends! I would not trust this company as far as I could throw them! However, try Kelly on his mobile, [Removed the personal information, Cat] maybe you’ll get through to him that way.

No Problem Cat. The owner of kellys vegies is now refusing to provide me my remaining boxes I have already paid for because of these reviews. Make sure none of you use this company!

Kellys Veggies sell terrible Vegetables – half were mouldy, and way overpriced compared to other vegetable box schemes – stick to able and cole. On top of this, they con you into a 4 week contract period and make you pay for 4 boxes upfront. Stay well away

Tolhurst Organic was recommended by @the_veggie_frog. Prices from £8.50 - £16. Not too impressed with their box variety though.

Clair, which box do you go for?

Sarah, I’m going to get supermarket deliveries again, but I like the unpredictableness of a box delivery as otherwise I’d just order the same things over and over again!

We use Milk & More for our milk. They’re just the old fashioned milkmen online.

For milk they’re fantastic. Our milkman delivers before 5am so not an issue with it being outside all day but more that we have to wake up to bring the milk in on a hot day when we’re off work so it’s not sitting outside in the sun til 10am. It’s more expensive than the supermarket but we drink a LOT of milk & the convenience is worth it for us. We can change/cancel our order online up to 9pm the night before & pay monthly by DD.

(In comparison, Riverford delivered during the day.)

Have you considered a fortnighly delivery from a supermarket instead? I now include my vegetables in our regular shop & order what’s in season using websites like eattheseasons.co.uk Much cheaper even if it’s not quite as organic/earthy.

We use Able & Cole, and I’m usually very impressed with them.
