I have used Paradise O on and off for the past few years, and they have always delivered excellent quality and varied boxes of fruits and veggies, and been more than able to accommodate any last minute request that I have put in. I have raved about this company to others, and was sad when my living arrangement didn’t allow me to get delivery last year. I decided to start my service back up again at my new place this week, though, and found the website is shutdown and all of these angry posts on Unilocal.To my thinking, it is more likely that something has happened that caused this great business to fail than it is that they were trying to scam or screw anyone. The economy is tough, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it took them down. It’s too bad that some people may have lost a few bucks. I’m sure that if this small business were capable of returning the funds, they would. They were always a responsible business.

I used Paradiseo for two years before they disappeared. The produce was better and fresher than I have seen in supermarkets. The cost was a bit more than supermarket produce, but it is local, organic, and much tastier.
The customer service was fantastic. I submitted an email requesting to add mire to an order I had just placed. Within 20 minutes, I received a phone call asking what I wanted added to my next days delivery. And this was around 8pm the night before my delivery day.
Recently, their website stopped working. I’m hoping it’s only temporary.

Horrible. Never received my order. I placed the order over a month ago. I just got an email stating that they cancelled all Living Social orders. That really sucks. I’m stilling waiting for my refund. I will never order anything from this company again.

Looks like I certainly was not the only to be had by ParadiseO. Like so many others, I purchased the paradiseO deal on Living Social and called (and emailed via their instructions on the website) to place the order almost exactly 1 month ago. I did not get a response back (AT ALL) and have not received my order. Now, their website link is «broken», I have filed a complaint with the BBB and have an email into Living Social to get my money back. If they ever resurface, avoid them like the plague.

BOO! It has been 2 months since the Living Social deal I purchased, as I see all others have also been ripped off.
I tried to get my delivery that week but nothing, they said they had too many orders to fulfill. Then a month later I was finally able to get someone to give me a delivery date, which was another like 3 weeks away. That day was August 27^th, a day I took off of work so as to make sure to receive the delivery since we live in a gated complex.
Well I got no email or call or any sort of confirmation the night before, which quite worried me but I was like, nah they’ll show. So I sat and waited around all day. I tried calling them, the mailbox was full and never gets emptied, I emailed them, I emailed living social and no one ever showed up.
Now I’m out a day’s pay and I just want my money back. I had no idea this place was going to be such a rip off. So disappointed. Living Social did refund my money, but no one can replace time wasted.

OMG!!! Do not do business with this company. I was so excited by their deal on living social that I purchased 10 deals = $ 350. The first one was a week late but customer service was good and I received extra berries. The 2^nd never came and phone calls, emails have been ignored all month. The site is not being updated. Then I look into getting a refund from living social and haven’t received a return email from them either. I am so furious. If I lived closer I would drive to the address listed in Downey personally. Not cool. I could really use that money right now. And they front as a friendly company that you would never dream would rip you off.

It’s unfortunate that ParadiseO not only missed an opportunity to enlarge their customer base via Living Social. They have now also done considerable damage to their reputation.
I tried calling to place my order with them for a week but like some others here have already stated. I always got the message stating that their mailbox was full.
The good news is, I was able to get a refund from Living Social.

I purchased two boxes and haven’t received them. I’ve tried calling the number on their website several times and it says the mailbox is full! I’ve send several emails to the address on their webite and I get no response!

Ordered a test box and it was awesome, so I signed up for weekly delivery. I didn’t even get my first box! No one answers their phone, the voice mail box is full and my emails have gone unanswered. Avoid!

I bought this deal via LivingSocial. I have not been able to leave a message to get this deal. Their mailbox is full — no matter how many times I call. I am getting a refund. Do not waste your time.

Heard about them on Daily Deal. Since I couldn’t order via phone the day before delivery (it was a Saturday), I figured I’d just pay for a box. Well I did, and it never came… Nor did Paradise O return my email or answer the phone any of the multiple times I called! Realllllyyyy bummed cause I was excited to use my gift certificate and now I have to get a refund for both. If I ever get ahold of them.

Was so excited to try this out after purchasing their Living Social promotion around July 20-​somthing. Called and emailed them and they gave me their first available delivery date for my area which was August 10. HOWEVER, on August 10, they didn’t show and they are not responding to emails and their voice mail is full. I have already contacted LIving Social for a refund…

Well, looks like a lot of us Social Living fans have been had by paradiseO, from all the posts over the last week. I was expecting a delivery on Saturday, Aug. 14^th. I called almost 3 weeks ago to set this up, and was told this was the soonest available delivery time. They never showed up. When I call, the voice mail box is full, so I can’t leave my information. I emailed them twice with NO response whatsoever. This company has rotten customer service, and there are other, fresher, better choices out there. That’s where I’m going, and telling the world.

Not impressed. They had a promotion on LivingSocial and we took advantage of it. However they’ve failed to deliver the product and are impossible to get a hold of. What could have been great for their business has turned into an epic fail.

I agree with Eli. I too learned about them via LivingSocial and was excited to try them out because we are looking for a CSA. I have been trying to call them for a week and just keeping their voicemail and cannot even leave a message because their mailbox is full. I am going to look into getting a refund from LivingSocial!

I was introduced to ParadiseO through a LivingSocial referral and was very dissappointed with the entire process. The wording of the «deal» was misleading. Also, the first delivery date available was three weeks from the time I signed up!
Additionally, when I asked if the fruits and vegetables were locally grown I was told by the representative she didn’t have that information and would need to call me back.
Finally, when tring to logon to my account I get a redirect message. Very dissappointing as I had hoped this would be a convenient service.

I have been using
for quite some time now. I get a fruit box delivered to my home for $ 25/​week. The fruit is always organic and the majority of it is locally produced. The quality is fantastic. In one week we generally go through all of it and I am convinced that if I bought everything they gave me I would spend much more than $ 25 (think about how much strawberries are these days).
What I like best is you have a «dislikes» list and they will never give you anything on there which is great. Let’s say I get tired of oranges for awhile, I just say I don’t like them through their online system and won’t see them again til I say I like them again! They update their website weekly with what is «in the box» that week.
This service has really made me eat more fruits. If I end up with leftovers by the time the next delivery comes, I usually make a really tasty smoothie!
They will also try to deliver during a certain timeframe if you request it (i.e. before/​after work).

In an effort to eat more fruits and veggies, I figured if I had some delivered to me, I’d be more likely to eat them. I signed up for this service and it’s really amazing.
The quality and variety of what they deliver are excellent. I’m doing the fruit and veggie box every other week. I’d like to do it weekly, but that’s big bucks. The customer service is great. When you sign up you indicate what your dislikes are and if your dislike happens to be in the weekly box, they switch it with something else.
It’s a real treat and sort of fun since you don’t know what you are going to get all the time (you can do a la carte boxes if you prefer). It sort of forces you to be creative with what you get.
