$107 gift arrived spoiled — no resolution offered
I ordered the “Greatest Hits” gift box online from Murray’s Cheese as a $107 gift, and the experience was extremely disappointing.
The recipient was home at delivery, refrigerated everything immediately, and followed proper storage practices. Despite that, most of the cheeses were already spoiled when opened, with visible mold that made them inedible. The only usable item was the brie. The stracciatella also had a shelf life of just over a week from delivery, which is very short for a shipped product. There were also no storage instructions included in the box, which would be important for a gift like this.
We contacted customer service and were asked to provide photos, which we did for two items. Based on communication that replacements would be sent, the remaining spoiled cheeses were discarded.
After more than a week of emails and phone calls, we were told they would only replace the two photographed items and not the rest of the spoiled cheeses. At that point, I declined partial replacements or credit and instead requested either a full replacement of the gift box or a full gift certificate—both reasonable options given the circumstances. Neither was provided.
As the purchaser, I am now out $107 on a gift that could not be used, with no meaningful resolution offered. I have since initiated a credit card dispute.
Very disappointing experience with both product quality and customer service.
