An item in my first order was defective. The Essential sent me a new one in a couple of days, no questions asked. I really appreciated not needing a lengthy back and forth to get a replacement.

I've been an a customer of The Essential since they launched as Move Grocery back in 2020. Loved their expansion and growth ever since, and have been a consistent customer since the beginning. For the first time, several months ago, I had an issue with an order that promised 1-3 week shipping that eventually stretched into 3 months. Their customer service staff worked with me literally every few weeks to try and get me my order, which I finally received this week. Their consistent responses and assistance finally paid dividends. I am so impressed with their engagement, support and effort - they turned a potentially negative experience into a reaffirmation of the company. The Essential did a great job. And I love everything that they offer. Check them out if you haven't already, you will not be disappointed!

Shipping times are crazy long. I decided to cancel my multiple orders and they said I would receive a refund in 5-7 Business Days however after two follow up emails they still have not cancelled or refunded my orders. Will be submitting a claim with my credit card company now.

Long wait for delivery - chair was an inferior product, but I am very pleased to say that Eric N at The Essential was very accommodating and helpful and gave us a full refund. They will also review the product before sending more out.

The essential has quickly become (am i allowed to say it?) essential in my day to day. It’s so much harder to get out to costco or the supermarket, and i don’t have time to read reviews and price compare. I’ve bought sheets, mattresses, air purifiers, food, and towels from the essential. Everything has been great. I might even cancel my costco membership.

We're thrilled to hear this and look forward to continuing to make your life easier with all the (should I say it?) essentials you could ask for!

well for a very short time this company seemed to get its act together WRONG. Placed last order on July 31 today is Sept. 14 contacted CS and after a late reply no dry ice really nothing listed on website. Finally shipped and tracking says damaged sent back. Now zero communication from CS cant call it customer service. What a shame good products crap for service. What could they do better well try customer service.

Hi Dave. Thank you for sharing this experience with us and once again, we're so sorry this happened to you. We completely understand your frustration, and if you would like to give us another chance to make this up to you in addition to the refund we gave, we would be happy to do that! Just shoot an email to [email protected] and we'll go from there! Thanks again.

The products themselves were very tasty. However, there was about a few weeks delay in shipping with no email or notification sent out to customers. I emailed them at which point they let me know of a shortage in dry ice. The product was shipped the following week.

Hi E. While we're happy to hear you enjoyed your items once they finally arrived, we're very sorry the dry ice issue was not communicated to you sooner, as it should have been. We really do hope you'll give us another try and thank you so much for giving us a chance!
