Avocados from $0.33 ea., Bananas from $0.23/kg, Eggplant $0.83 ea. & More + $7 Shipping @ Farmers Box (Auckland Only)

660

I have just spotted this company advertising on Facebook - Farmers Box. Bananas .23c kg, Avocados .33 each, eggplant .83c each, cucumbers .63c each. Shipping is $7 but could represent a big saving if you normally buy alot of weekly vegetables.

I don't know how long this company has been running but if it is new, they could be opening specials.

Has anyone used them before?


How to buy

  • Select as much delicious and nutritious produce as you need.
  • Fill in your delivery address and payment details.
  • Your Farmers Box arrives the next day and you’re set to go.

    Received my order, everyone in the office ordered together yesterday, the quality is really good, everyone is super happy.

    But we only received 1kg of tomatoes of 5kg ordered. Will have to contact customer service.

    • Just received a call from Farmers Box, they will deliver the rest of 4kg tomatoes today, such a good service.

    Thanks for share OP, order placed.

  • Happy with mine. Ordered one red cabbage but got to smaller ones instead - I think it's probably better than one average sized one. Happy with everything else - mandarins, bananas, kumara, cucumber, egg plants, capsicum, fruit jerky (quite nice).

    • If you like that fruit jerky it occasionally goes on a good sale through their website. I bought six packs or something like that through Cheapies awhile ago and still working through it.

  • +2

    I’m glad to see this new enterprise getting lots of support. Keep it up. Nice to support local businesses and new endeavours. Hopefully they can continue with the specials and give the supermarkets some competition. I noticed Wonky Box were offerring a discount so it may help to keep prices down.

  • +1

    Ordered mine yesterday around 11, but never got any email confirmation, or any tracking details.

    • Same. I ordered last night.. Around 7, but haven't received shipping details yet. But I did get the confirmation email.

      • Considering they have daily 3-5pm cutoff time and probably a small business I doubt they work 24/7. Plus they ran out of stock yesterday due to cheapies so it's expected it is not shipped. Also they updated shipping terms to within 2 days.

      • I think they may be struggling with all the orders yesterday. It is a 2 day delivery I understand. Message them if you have any queries.

  • Yea mine has been shipped , but I see it was showing as 5pm delivery , then 6pm and now 7pm delivery. Thats ok if I got it sent to home but its going to my work address which will be shut ! So will see what happens , did email them with no reply. Hopfully it doesnt get eaten by Auckland Ants over night if left outside lol

  • Mine arrived within 24 hours, the quality is superb! Thanks for posting OP!

    • Same! Came at 3pm today! Amazing quality and pricing!

  • I'm on the outskirts of Auckland (Pukekohe), ordered yesterday and it just arrived. Very impressed with the speed and the quality - I ordered a boatload - 2 big boxes.

    • 2 boxes means 2x delivery fee?

  • Looks like my order has been shipped twice. Can you pick the order up today? The fruit and veggies were fresh.

  • Ordered,

    let's see how the quality is.

  • Some of the vegetables like cabbage and capsicum are really small but they did give me two instead of one. Not sure if thats because theres no more space in the box??

    However they didnt include the bananas at all!

  • +1

    The bananas in mine were bruised and squashed all over. They were just thrown in with a whole lot of avocados and perhaps some rough handling from the courier saw the avos pummel them.

    Can't really complain based on the cost. Will use them to make banana bread.

  • Mine arrived 830 tonight, quality and size all good, everything looks fresh, no issues. Will defs order through them again.

  • +2

    I see the website is now down for orders. Looks like it went better then they expected. Hopfully they return soon as the prices were excellent.

  • Mine arrived this morning and I was really impressed. Here is a pic of what arrived, and a price comparison to Pak'n Save for those interested. I had to substitute a few things in my price comparison but huge savings regardless. Farmers Box = $66.32 / Pak'n Save = $111.99. Will definitely be ordering again.

  • I have not had the best experience so far. I missed the delivery yesterday as I wasn't even given a time frame for the delivery, There was no communication that it was even shipped. Then I got an email saying they will deliver in the evening and I cancelled my dinner plans and waited for the order which never arrived. Now it's been out for delivery since 8 am but hasn't arrived. I need to go out.. They don't even reply to their emails and their online chat. Don't know what to do. Is there a phone number they can be contacted on?

    • Interesting - they just left out box out of sight at the door like any other courier would? I didn't need to be home to receive it. No issues for us.

  • Yeah, I have the same bad experience - ordered mine on Thu morning. Order confirmed, they took the money as well. No communication (except generic marketing email from them) since. Order status is still saying "We’re getting your order ready for delivery." There is no way to contact any real person, only a robot chat which is just stalling - first saying somebody will call me within a couple of minutes, when nobody did, it said they will send me an email, which they didn't. Now it stopped responding completely. Glad at least some people got what they ordered - looks like I will have to contact the bank to get my money back.

    I guess I never learn - never order anything from a company without a working local phone number lol.

    • +2

      Well as per the recent update on the website, they just opened recently and probably were not ready for so many orders. Also, seems like a small business trying to get going. They might not have proper things setup for communications as well and trying to fulfill all orders. Give them a day or 2 and see where you at.

      Just saying as many received there orders including myself. Also, they have been updating there website and have stopped taking new orders which means they genuinely are trying to get ahead of things.

      • Yes, it's already been more than 2 days since the order confirmation. I understand they might be overwhelmed but they let people still order yesterday without sorting out the Thu orders first?

        • Ohh, That doesn't sound good.

  • A Special Note to Our Customers!

    We're truly sorry for any inconvenience caused by our temporary site closure and order delays.

    We hoped people would like our prices, but we didn’t anticipate just how many, and how quickly word would spread. We only launched on Wednesday, but we already have more orders than we can currently handle.

    But we're working hard to fix it. All orders received to date are being packed now and will be delivered as soon as possible. And while that’s happening, we’re getting more staff, and more vans so we can take and deliver more orders as they come in.

    If you have any questions about your order, please contact us at [email protected] or send us a message on our live chat on the website

    Thank you for your patience and support.

    We set up Farmers Box to help people eat well for less.

    And we stand by that.

    From our family to yours.

  • Mine arrived today (ordered on Thurs), which was good as I was wondering if they deliver on weekends. Avocados and bananas were excellent; lettuces, cucumbers and daikons were super tiny but were decent for the price paid. The only neg were the tomatoes. 2kg and most were partially blackened/rotten :( Can still chop parts off but still…could complain, but wasnt home when they dropped it off. They do have a 'must check at delivery' policy.

    • must check at delivery' policy.

      what does this mean?

      • checking the goods are ok before accepting delivery

        • Courier just left at my door

          • @justaddwater: Same. There were people inside but no one noticed until I called them after checking my email. I might still order again but might be a bit more selective in my order and will time my order for a delivery day when I'm home.

    I ordered yesterday when there was a window of 300 orders available. I just received my order ( Sunday) and i am really happy with delivery time and quality of product. Sorry to hear of those who haven't received their orders. Hopefully it is a new business hiccup. From the many updates on their website, it sounds like they have been inundated and are struggling to cope. I am not surprised, at these prices.

    • It's open again today for 300 orders. I'm still waiting for my order since Thu. Unbelievable!

  • Ordered on 23 SEP and fulfilled on 24 morning. No signature required. They left the parcel in the front door. Box was opened and resealed. After opening checking, green kiwifruit 1kg was missing. Tried to contact them via website or email. No replies until now. Anyone with same encounter?
