Unreliable and Very disappointing!!!
Very disappointing!!!
I purchased a smash and grab gift to surprise my son for his birthday. I paid for expediting shipping to ensure the gift was received in time. Needless to say It was NEVER delivered at all. each time I reached out to the company they were quick to put the blame on everyone but themselves. Bottom line they dropped the ball. Think twice before ordering from this company, you may or may not receive your order.

I had the best customer service ever
I had the best customer service ever. Polite, answered all questions and was very professional.
Great customer service!
I ordered a surprise gift for a friend and sent it to them only to find out they'd moved! I contacted customer service and requested an address change... but it was to late. Again I contacted customer service and they were able to resolve the problem and send a replacement package to the correct address. My only comment is and it could be FedEx... order early!... both times the delivery was delayed by a day or two. Other than that I had a great experience and would totally recommend Man Crates to my friends and family.
As stated on box
As stated on box, got excited and was amazed by contents. Crow bar was a great add! Glasses, snacks and bottle opener all perfect. Awesome gift, thank you!
Amazing customer service
I ordered a gift for my husband for his birthday, FedEx messed up and did not deliver my order…. So I emailed and texted Mancrates customer service. They responded in a timely manner and really tried to make my experience right and great with Mancrates. They sent me another package overnight. Although it was late for my husband’s birthday, we could not appreciate more. Really high 5 their service. Thank you.
Also, beef jerky I bought for husband was amazing!!

Moldy food
I ordered the jerky man crate and some jerky on the side. First it didn’t get shipped together so one was left on the front porch with no who’s it from the other was on the side porch. 2nd there was mold in one of the bags of the jerky and in another was a floss pick. Do not order food from this company. I send and email with pictures and no reply. I spent over 200 on this gift for a coworker and how embarrassing.

Very underwhelming
It's truly unfortunate that I can't include pictures. The box arrived 4 days late, and so badly taped that it was actually opened. Inside the box was a smaller one completely wrapped in duct tape. I get it, man stuff, duct tape, stereotype, ok fine. Inside was the product as advertised, and as it's a gift for someone I can't open it further and taste it, but I certainly hope it tastes better than it was packed. Further more, I emailed once my package was late, and was sent a notification in return that the email address was not functional and my email was undeliverable. This was my first order with ManCrates, and so far, REALLY unimpressed.

Although my order never came
Although my order never came, I reached out to Man Crates and "Hailey" immediately replied to assist.
She completely understood and expedited my order. I just received and the quality is perfection.
I'm giving Man Crates 5 Stars for the customer service, specifically "Hailey" as she made it happen fast.
Great idea poorly executed
Great idea poorly executed. If u glue every seam on the box, the small pry bar becomes useless. The box splinters apart, one of which bounced off my eye and the rest of the splinters will b stuck in the carpet for some time. Open in the garage or outdoors and on something u don't mind scratching. I needed a claw hammer and a utility knife to complete the operation of opening the crate. What's inside looks cool , bloody ceasar kit, i haven't tasted yet but was pretty pissed about ripping apart the box and surprised i didn't puncture the tomato cans.

Man Crates responded immediately to my review, just spoke with an awesome person and the situation was corrected! Thank you so much!!!
I have ordered numerous products from Man Crates and have always been satisfied but this last order was extremely disappointing. I send my brother gifts and when he opened the gift containing jerky made from alcohol every package contained MOLD. He sent me photos of this. Thank god he did not eat any of it and then notice it. Not sure how long this product was sitting on the shelf but man this is a health hazard and could seriously make someone ill!!! The pepperoni sticks in the bloody mary kit were also bad. WHAT THE HELL?

Ok so it took me 3 times to get what i ordered correct. My order was broken the 1st time. I call for a replacement and they send me the order but with the wrong name on it. The 3rd time well over a month later I get the correct order but boxed differently and missing the container the original was supposed to come in. I will say the 3 people I talked to each time were very nice on the phone but this was not a good experience with the cost of the products.

Ordered the whiskey lovers box that came with custom etched decanter and glasses. Unfortunately, we received someone else’s order. Customer service was friendly via email and said they would send us a new crate. On arrival of the second crate it was just a box, no crate at all, with a random small bag of jerky and the glasses wrapped in paper. With a mistake it seems that good customer service would not only resend the ENTIRE order, including a new crate, but also go above and beyond . This was a poorly done re-do. Disappointing.
Highly Recommend-Totally Awesome
I would highly recommend this company to everyone, the guys getting a Man Crate for any holiday, and this company Really Does stand behind their products. I will continue to order from them from now on. Love this Company all the way around. 100% Awesomeness.

My husband LOVED his crate for Father's Day, however the crackers in this particular crate were out of date, therefore 4 stars.

Very Dissatisfied!!
Very first time I ordered from Man Crates and will definitely be the last!! Placed my order for a Father's Day gift that I was told would be delivered on Father's Day did not deliver as of yet. This completely ruined the day by not delivering on time. I am out of state and specifically ordered because Man Crates gave the option and told me it would deliver on this day.
I appreciate the offer to "refund my shipping" but this whole experience has left such a bad taste that I will not use the company again.

Several Orders Cancelled w/out Notice
Edit: in response to MC’s reply - no email notification of cancellation was provided. Myself and three other individuals who used the code did not receive a cancellation notification. Additionally, I tried to check my order status on the website when the ship date came and went but it is not possible to do so. The website merely stated that email notification would be made when an order is shipped. It is unfortunate for the company that the coupon code openly available on the internet was shared maliciously, unbeknownst to customers like me. However, it is terrible business practice to cancel orders without notification. I would have happily replaced the orders in time for them to be received by Father’s Day. I was even okay with late arrival since they seemed so great and personalization takes time. I suspected MC was slammed with orders for Father’s Day and that accounted for late shipping. Instead, my orders were cancelled with no notification and without time to order another gift prior to Father’s Day. Based on MC’s replies to other reviews, it is clear that MC is happy to provide subpar service and blame others for the problem.
I placed several orders with mancrates. I used a coupon code found on the web. Mancrates processed a relatives order with the code, but cancelled ours without any notification. When they were contacted regarding shipping notification, they simply said the order was cancelled. At the very least I would have expected an email at the time of cancellation to allow for a chance to use a different code and pay the difference. Extremely disappointing.
