I had done business with the Raw Food World for a few years and there were very nice people working there which encouraged me to recommend it to others as a source of healthy products. However, this last experience was horrendous. I live an horse away so before coming down for and order (since shipping is so expensive and no free shipping on big orders like just about every other company) I called to see if an item was in that I regularly purchased because it wasn't showing on the website. I did not want to make a trip if the product was not available since other items I might get at Raw Foods .I could get the equivalent elsewhere. I was told that there was no problem, the item was in stock. When we got to Raw foods, the item was in fact, not in stock. My friend wanted to pick up mainly some patches with b-12 but we discovered they had floc acid in them, not foliate which is what the body uses. They are not the same, and in fact folic acid is a chemical that uses up the foliate receptors making it harder for the body to use the foliate the body needs. I was surprised that this was something that raw foods did not know about or didn't care, and I became skeptical of other nutritional information it puts out. To her credit, one of the staff indicated she would try to ship for free, the item she had promised was in stocj when it came in, but later emailed me they were not going to restock the item. I suggested a few other alternatives too make up for the wasted trip, none of which were approved by Matt. Clearly the Raw Food world isn't interested in keeping regular customers if that necessitates caring about the customer. Having worked with customer service departments who do care in my role as an organisational consultant for a decade or so, I know the kind of customer service that is possible, and how much good customer service benefits companies through repeat business, referrals and reputation.

I ordered a product from this company and have still not received it. Made a call to the company, was told that it would be taken care of. Still nothing!!

Placed an order, I received the email, looked like my order processed. One week later , I called and customer service said it never went through. Now they have not gotten back to me. No previous order tracking from previous orders.
Response from The Raw Food WorldDec 8, 2015
Dear dah, I'm so sorry about this situation that you went through with our customer service and business just recently in the past. This is Matt Monarch and unfortunately I found a few bad apples in the business. I was being told one thing and other things were actually happening including stealing. I am just dumbfounded at how our valued customers were being treated to where it brings a tear to my eye. Right now I am personally going through all of the customer service emails and trust pilot reviews from the last six months to make things right with everyone. You'll probably get an email from me once we reach your emails. I’m so sorry about this! This shouldn’t have happened and you should have been taken care of in a much better way. Needless to say, we got rid of the bad apples. I'm now here in Ojai, CA heading the entire business, restructuring it and taking care of everything. I'm so sorry about the lack of communication here and in the future it won't happen again as I'm personally streamlining everything. I'm extremely embarrassed by the situation. I hope that you will consider doing business with us again and I promise you that the service you get from here on out will be 100x’s better! I’m here now on an ongoing basis to make sure of it. Let me know how I can rectify this situation at [email protected]. I'm personally handling all customer service now. Also please consider removing this negative review. I will handle whatever you need on email. Thanks Matt Monarch

I've received my order 10 days ago and tried unsuccessfully since then to get a hold of someone at customer service through emails but NOTHING. No one cares! The Raw Food World has become a shadow of it's former self. Since the money came pouring in, customer service has become the least of their concern. What we do get is tons of family videos and advertising. Once they get your money, they just don't give a damn. That was my last order.

Recently I ordered 1 bottle of hoodia from The Raw Food World. This company didn't even have the courtesy and/or decency to let me know that the item was on backorder---and wouldn't ship tentatively until Dec- ember 2015! I only found this out after having emailed them yesterday---09/29/15, to inquire about my order! No wonder I never received tracking information about this order.
