I didn't notice anything I would have bought as "sold out" here.  I don't usually do prepared foods, I think that's what I saw mostly as sold out, like 3 Little Pigs Egg Bites, and salad kits and sweets/breads.

 

But it's probably very regional anyway.   Hope you have a better experience.  I kind of Meh on Misfits right now.   Nothing terribly wrong, but nothing terribly compelling either.

 

I think @Maison Rustique was talking about Imperfect, not Misfits — and despite being the same company with mostly the same products, my recent experience with Imperfect was that they were sold out of a lot more things than Misfits. I skipped one week when I had the 50% off offer because I logged in two hours late and about 80% of the entire fruit section was greyed out.

 

My guess is that it's because Imperfect only has the option for an auto-filled cart, whereas with Misfits that's a new thing and probably a very small percentage of their subscribers.

 

I canceled after the discount ran out — if I order again the Misfits interface works better for me. (Unless of course they throw another 50% off coupon my way.)

 

Unrelatedly, did a second Umamicart order recently and once again had a great experience. Splurged on the kaya jam trio with milk bread and have been enjoying it as a change of pace at breakfast. Next one will probably be from Weee! — though it may be a while as we're traveling in a few weeks and I'll be trying to draw down the stockpiles. Our dog sitters probably will appreciate having some room in the fridge and freezer for their own stuff...
