Try The World Coupon Code – 50% Off Your First Box!

I tried out this box with their BOGO thing. Not only were shipping times outrageous, but I have tried twice now to cancel my subscription.

The first time was in June. I was billed and didn’t have the money, so I requested a stop payment. They claimed that they couldn’t do that, once the account was billed, that was that. And then they said, per my request, that they would cancel my account.

I was just charged today for another box, despite having requested a cancellation. I’ve now gone to my bank to dispute the charge, and will be requesting a block on future charges, and I have gone through the website to cancel ONCE AGAIN in addition to sending an email to their cancellation personnel.

My two cents? DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. Their customer service is terrible, the boxes aren’t worth it, and apparently it’s a pain in the butt to cancel, because they’re liars.

I feel like this box should also come with a “read reviews” recommendation.
I ordered (through this site) the BOGO deal. On their own site they say that boxes will ship within 7-10 days of payment. So when I ordered during the FIRST week of January and still hadn’t received a shipping email on the LAST week of January, I started emailing. After 2 more weeks (a month and a half after I was charged), I got a response telling me that the weather in the northeast had held up my order. That’s interesting because had the boxes shipped according to their site, weather would not have been an issue at all. Also, I’m in NC so it probably seemed like an excuse I’d believe. However I JUST moved to NC from Boston and things don’t come to a screeching halt when it snows in New England. They back peddled real quick when I pointed this out, but never offered any other reason, excuse. I got the feeling that they thought I was stupid and I cancelled. They emailed and offered 25% off the next box if I stay. I emailed back and said that they may have been an appropriate offer when I emailed about the boxes being so late. Had they offered that or ANYTHING besides absurd excuses and flimsy apologies, I MIGHT have considered giving them another chance. There are just better companies that make you feel valued, Try the World doesn’t seem worth the aggravation.

It looks like this company runs buy one get one box free promo quite often. I ordered Paris box and got free Holiday box. For BOGO, I thought the value was not so bad. I cannot remember the shipping issues, so I think they were shipped within reasonable time.

Then I emailed customer service to cancel because I felt their regular price seemed too high for what we get. They offered me 30% discount for my next box in February which was the Venice box. I got excited, so I decided to give one more box. They charged my CC on 2/5 or 2/6 and I never received shipping notification. I contacted customer service and they said my box will ship at the end of Feb. and it looks like it just got shipped. Taking a month to receive a box (not here yet as of today).

I saw more negative reviews than positive, so I decided to check out their FB and some unboxing videos on YouTube. Since they ship the box every other month, they run the same box for 2 month, I think. They sent out Rome box in the past and the content of the boxes are similar to Venice box. I was not expecting “Venice” and was going to be ok with “Italy”… but hope their products are fresh, not left over from their past Rome box.

Customer Service reply did take a few days. Sometimes they avoid the exact question I have asked. I have asked the variation of Venice box and they avoided the answer to that.

I love the concept of this box, but I think I am leaning towards cancellation after reviewing my Venice box due to the shipping issue, value and poor customer service.

I just wanted to share my experience here. Hope this will help someone.

I don’t recommend this box for free!! They bill a long time before shipping and what the actually ship bares little resemblance to what they show in the photos. They are impossible to get hold of and if you post anything negative on their facebook page they delete it and block you from further posts

I did receive my Venice box and was highly disappointed. Absolutely nothing in it is Venetian. Italian yes Venetian no. Why not sardines, or risotto or peach puree to make Bellinis? So many other things. When I complained about this I was told well they use the things we sent to cook with. Using honey in cooking is like saying peanut butter is a unique ingredient
Also –there are different items in different boxes. I did not receive the coffee and that was their response
Lastly I found the only way to get any answers was via their facebook site

odered 2 venice boxes one for me one for my brother got one box produts missing never got the second box if i do not recive my box soon i will cancel and never oder again dorothy xoxoxo

I’m fuming! I still not have received the last two boxes though of course I have been charged for them. I get the run around ….lately it’s oh we are waiting for items from Venice. Yet I get emails from them offering the Venice box!!
Has anyone received the Venice box?

the food is good i do like that they do have discounts to me that is another imporant thing thier are so many boxes to chose from that is a big factor on boxes that i am chosing beauty product boxes not so much because you get more than you spend for the box but for me the food boxes has to have a code for me to try that way if i do not like the food i can pass it without feeling i did not get my moneys worth the phone i feel needs inprovement for me to stay a customer for good even with the discount i also would like more sneak peeks that helps with the more pricey boxes xoxoxo dorothy

i tried thier stuff i found it to be a great box i did write thier customer serivce slow but nice i decided to give it one more chance because the food is good i do think they need the discount because it is not worth 40 dollars it should be between 30 and 35 dollars since they do not answer the phone at most need they do need someone to answer thier phone all the time the box is nice and the food is good but the not answering thier phone is a big problem for me xoxo dorothy xoxo

No matter how good the deal sounds, I cannot recommend this box or company to anyone. Their customer service is atrocious and the value is not there! I got the black friday deal where you purchased the paris box and got the holiday box for free. They guaranteed all purchases made before 12/15 would be delivered by Christmas. I received my holiday box after three weeks and me inquiring about it constantly (they only responded to some emails). I have yet to receive the paris box. They gave me a tracking number on 12/23 and it hasn’t been updated since. I’ve tried contacting them through email, phone, and chat and they do not respond. I ended up cancelling the payment through my credit card company. The worst sub experience I’ve had and I was really excited about them. It’s a shame.
