Company tried to bribe me to take down this review
I like it, dont get me wrong, but I guess I expected more. Its a neat system, comes with utensils which my son loved, but I guess i thought it would all "snap" together, which it doesnt, its held in the place with the band but can sometimes make for awkward placement of everything. Also the inside compartments are VERY small. I pack mini potato roll sandwiches for my son's lunch and they have to be squished down to fit into the lower, larger compartment. Also, because it doesnt "snap" fruits and veggies are exposed to air and lose their freshness without being wrapped in plastic and then put into the bentgo box. All in all kind of disappointing. Wish I hadn't spent so much on the entire system, we are now using the lunch bag and just packing lunches in there minus the actual box. Bummer.
*UPDATE*
After posting this review I received an email from this company telling they'd offer me a full refund of boxes that I ordered....as long as I removed my unsavory review. You have got to be kidding me. Here is an excerpt from their email:
"We stand behind our products and take customer satisfaction very seriously. We would love to offer you a full refund for the 2 Bentgo lunchboxes that you purchased. In order to process the refund, we do ask that you remove your review of the Bentgo from Amazon. Once you've removed the review, please send us a message and we will immediately process the refund for you."
What an awful company, they can keep their $30. I'll let this review stand, and donate their crappy boxes to Goodwill.
