I appreciate the convenience of ordering specialty foods which fit my diet in a place that doesn't require your first born as payment. I also really appreciate that my subscription gives someone with more limited means to have access to the same options.

I've had my membership for over a year and I have never had any issues with my orders. The deliveries are relatively quick and come in recyclable materials. I use Thrive consistently. Money well spent for me.

I'm just at the end of my trial period. During the trial period, I found a lot of items I needed, for everything else I went to my local co-op. Everything is really well packaged, and I can even reuse the ziplock bags that liquid things come in. I'm thankful for the descriptions on items, as well as the clear photos of them. Of course, I wish there was more in stock, but I totally get it with the pandemic and everything. I'm also glad there is a way that I can donate to less fortunate families during checkout. I remember when I was part of that group. It was really tough. I do hope that the money is going to good places and is helpful for those that need it. By paying a little extra for items that are organic, eco-friendly, or ethical, I also hope I'm doing my part to influence more of the general grocer chain to invest in the right things.

I love that they have so many choices of organic products and a huge assortment of vitamins. I've been a member since before the current pandemic, so I know that some products sell out quickly now (they carry some things you can't easily find elsewhere), but you can be notified when something is back in stock. They are friendly to work with, ship quickly, and package items carefully to prevent damage in transport. Many of the items I buy from them are priced much lower than my local grocery store. My only gripe is that so many of their Thrive brands are packaged in plastic. I'd be willing to pay a little extra for herbs and seasonings to be sold in small glass jars, or dry beans, sugar, flour, and similar to be sold in paper bags or cardboard boxes. Overall, I shop from Thrive first before looking elsewhere.

I have been a customer for 5 years now and plan to be for as long as I can. I love the ease of shopping, how quickly my orders arrive at my door (even in a pandemic) and the customer service is top notch. I have been shopping for my special diet needs for a long time and Thrive offers the best prices for many of the food items I count on, especially with their house brands. I love how efficient the packaging is, how it uses so little plastic and I can reuse the plastic that does come. I can't say enough!

I have been a Long-time Thrive Market customer and have loved being able to get healthy products at a discounted price. However, for the last 3 months or so, they have been sold out of many of the items that I have been purchasing on a monthly basis. I know that COVID-19 hit everyone by surprise, but I feel like they should have cut off new memberships when things started to get crazy and then took really good care of the customers that they already had. The online meat company that I purchase from did this and I have seen no difference in their products or customer service. Then, add potential new customers to a waiting list and add them as supply allows.

I really like Thrive. They have a lot of products I have a hard time finding at physical stores, and at the very least I am currently looking to go to the store less, so it helps that they have a lot of dry goods that I know are sustainably sourced.
However! The quantities that Thrive has of some basics (at least at the moment, given this is during the pandemic) are not sufficient. I imagine this will improve, but I would like to be able to order some staples that I currently cannot because they are sold out.
Pricing is typical for health foods stores. If you are not prepared for your small-producer healthy snacks to cost more than your generic cheez puffs then you're shopping at the wrong place. Thrive has vegan gluten free cheez puffs in case you were wondering.
Thrive also has options to order bulk proteis or even meals. But I find these to be expensive and not flexible enough for my small scale needs. I would like it if they offered smaller scale protein purchases. Then I really wouldn't have to go to the store!
