Potato Parcel Reviews
What Shoppers Say About Potato Parcel
Potato Parcel has received only one-star ratings from shoppers on RetailCoupons.com, with recurring complaints about severe shipping delays and unmet delivery promises. Multiple reviewers report ordering items with specific delivery dates (Valentine's Day, Christmas) that arrived weeks late, often in March or after the intended holiday. Customers also describe poor communication from the company, with unanswered emails and contradictory shipping status information that did not align with actual tracking data.
Additional issues include missing customizations that customers paid extra for, such as custom photos on potatoes, and quality concerns with included items like greeting cards. While one reviewer noted the potato itself resembled the pictures, the overall experience was overshadowed by delivery failures and unmet expectations. The consistent pattern of late arrivals on time-sensitive orders and lack of responsive customer service appears to be the primary reason for the uniformly negative feedback.

Sorted by: Most recentI ordered their Valentine's package on the 27th and set the delivery date for February 11th since I'd heard they sometimes ship late. On the 10th, I emailed asking about the status but got no response. Then on the 11th they said it shipped, but when I tracked it, it just sat in pre-shipment status. I sent another email on the 14th and didn't hear back until the 17th. Their response claimed I'd picked a ship date instead of a delivery date, but that's not what their website said when I ordered. The package arrived today and it's all wrong. I specifically chose the Valentine's package for the stuffed animal that could be a keepsake, plus a potato, card, and chocolates for around $40 plus $12 in shipping. What I got was just four chocolates, a card with random flamingo designs on it, and no stuffed animal at all. Really frustrated with how this turned out.
Total disaster with this company. Ordered a Christmas gift on December 14th with an expected arrival of December 19th. That date passed with zero updates. I reached out and got a response two days later saying it definitely shipped and would arrive by the 22nd, even though UPS tracking never showed anything and their site still said processing. The 22nd came and went. I emailed again that same day and heard back two days later that UPS apparently lost the package, yet UPS tracking never indicated they even had it and the website still showed processing status. I asked how that was possible and requested a refund. No response. I've sent multiple follow-up emails since then with no replies. It's been weeks and I've heard nothing from them. Had to dispute the charge through my credit card company just to try to get my money back.
Got this as a gag present for someone, but things didn't go smoothly. The delivery came way after the expected date, and they didn't include the custom photo on the potato that I'd specifically asked for. Overall, pretty disappointing experience with how they handled the order.
I placed this order way ahead of time for Valentine's Day with a specific delivery window in mind, and paid a good amount for shipping. Fast forward to March 1st, and that's when the package finally showed up. The potato itself was fine and looked like the pictures, though the greeting card needed some work to open up properly. But those four chocolates included in the ~$35 order were really disappointing. They tasted old and chalky, and honestly felt like they got the cheapest candy they could find. The biggest issue was that the package arrived completely late and the company never bothered to reach out with any updates about the delay. Hard to recommend based on how this went.
