Potato Pal

I ordered a potato parcel it was a wonderful gift, it made me smile, but they sent it to the wrong address. Me instead of the person I was trying to cheer up.

It’s been a few years snice I order a Potato… Things must have changed, because this order was a disappointment. I received a very small, with roots, with that old musty smell like the potatoes they try to push at the grocery store during the holidays. Although the Art was clear and colorful it was more comic book like, nothing like the good old days art.

After the arrival date & time changed a couple of times, should consider changing delivery to UPS or similar. When I opened package, picture looked flat & dull compared to what I expected. I'm sure it will get a few laughs. Have you considered "preserving" the spud somehow? Freeze dried, Saran wrap, etc. It looks like a very short shelf life for the product sold.

The potato was sent to the wrong address.
The potato was smaller than I expected.
The potato was damp so the photo was coming off.
Customer service did not reply when I asked for a refund.
I am very dissatisfied with the process.

2nd time I've ordered these as a gift. Always tremendous!

I had an issue where I had two separate orders for potatoes. One had a message on it, and the other had an image on it. The issue I was trying to resolve was that I wanted to cancel the order with the potato that had a message on it, and the other order with the image on the potato I wanted to change the shipping address. I tried to reach out to the company via email several times (phone call is not an option), but no one ever got back to me to fix this. So the issues were left unresolved.

Overall, I was not happy with how this was handled, and I will not be using this company again. There needs to better communication and an option to where I can call someone and not have my emails ignored.

When ordering, the shipping address is filled in with your payment address. From there its is way too easy to ship this potato to yourself. The confirmation screen comes fast and flies past unlike most websites.

Ok, fine. I tried to cancel the order to after this happened and guess what? Can’t find the button to do so because it’s buried in a menu somewhere. Next step: Contact the business! Two emails later (and a useless auto-reply not manned by a human) and the item was shipped to me with no way to stop it.

The item was received in a package. Trust me when I say this: I’ve used similar sites that ship the potato without a container. That’s the part that makes it such a funny prank. Inside a package defeats the joke.

Waste of money. There are better places that do this harmless prank. Try any other but this one.

Used the arranged “set up a package to be sent on this day” service they have provided. The label was made but the damn package didn’t leave wherever they’re at until 6 days had passed. It then took 3 days of shipping, at which point it was thoroughly late and the joke gift was long past funny.

I wasn't sure to expect when I ordered this, but I can 100% say that I was not disappointed. My boyfriend and I have a love for potatoes, so for his 40th birthday, this was a no-brainer. I had him film his reaction as we are long-distance, and I must've watched the video 10 times by now. The picture on the potato was in color (wasn't expecting that), the words were on the back, and to see his look of amazement was worth every penny. Customer service was super helpful when I panicked that my order didn't go through properly, which I really appreciated. 13/10 would recommend if you have someone in your life with a great sense of humor and a love for potatoes.

For starters, this entire business model is hilarious. Sending my friend a potato with his picture on it is so random that it's just perfect. Unfortunately, I guess I myself am a potato as I did not realize that this was literally just going to be a potato with a STICKER of a picture. I guess I thought potato parcels infinite power and budget would let them somehow engrave the pic or print it onto the potato. So now I look like the fool for paying $30+ after shipping for a potato and a sticker. So I guess what I'm saying is read the fine print before purchasing any products here.

My bff sent me a potato with a photo of me as a random surprise years ago and it was the funniest best thing I’ve ever received. Now like 5-6 years later, I’m sending him a potato in my bridesman proposal box with a photo of us in high school. So cute and so full circle - best gift for the friends you laugh with!!

They sent the wrong potato and ruined fun moment. Asked for a refund and got a survey email instead. I need my money back.

I recently ordered this for my sisters birthday- it never arrived, I was communicating with customer service and then my messages stopped- little did I know- they promptly reordered and shipped a new potato. Much appreciated.

He absolutely loved it! Was completely shocked!!! Kept asking how I got someone to make it and actually mail it! haha. Now we are hiding it in random places around the house so when we open a cabinet or drawer, it's right there! HAHA.

It came literally w a sticker of my mother’s face that was peeling off. Very expensive for something barely worth $5….the potato was small-unimpressed

I had my best friend face time me when she opened the package. As soon as she stuck her hand in the bag, she knew! She immediately started laughing. I had told her about my idea to send a potato to my brother, but I had decided to send to her. I did ask her to take it to work on Monday where I did work, before I moved and let everyone enjoy in her birthday fun. I would absolutely recommend this for anyone who needs a laugh. Well worth the money!

TB

I was not 100% sure how to even rate this because this has been a wild experience. I ordered my sister this potato weeks ago, the address was messed up so I ended up having to order another a week or so ago. Fast forward to today. My brother-in-law (who hates me) finds a close relative deceased and then I get an email that the potato has been delivered. My special note was “surprise shawty”. My best spud did me dirty.

Was very impressed with the potato and how the picture looked. Great job. My grandson was shocked. But laughed about it. Loved the treats also.

The reaction i got from my friend this was for was incredible! The packaging is right when it says "you'll never guess whats inside!"

It was pretty funny. They loved it

Amazing product 10 out of 10

It’s a potato… with a funny dumb face on it! It’s a simple and useless as it seems yet it’s absolutely hilarious

Absolutely epic. So glad I sent one of these to my little brother. The look on his face when he pulled out a potato will bring me joy forever!!!

My brother liked it for his birthday and it made him laugh!

I sent this to congratulate my brother for opening a second store! I am currently the winner for the weirdest gift

Waste of money. Paid for an overpriced potato with a printed cut out of picture glued to the potato. I could have saved the money and did that myself. Do not spend your money on this at all!!

I uploaded a picture for the potato and it was not what was received.
Not sure what happened but the humor of the gift was lost on the getting the wrong photo.

It’s just literally a sticker if the picture. I could have printed it off and glued it on myself. And the words are just painted on.

Not at all like advertised. Cropping of the photo was crap. Just a picture print out glued on (with a wrinkle in it!).
Only two stars cause the idea was unique and did get a chuckle from the recipient once he figured out what the picture was of.
Wish we could upload photos with our reviews. Probably turned off for this reason.

Probably the most useless thing I've ever bought a stripper. Couldn't do better.

It sucked
