I started getting hello fresh almost weekly around 4 months ago and it's been so helpful (I fell into one of those youtube ads)! I haaaate cooking and thinking about what to make for dinner so it does make my life easier. Only thing is I wish they had more menu options for dietary restrictions! You can easily adjust most meals to fit your needs but sometimes that means wasting ingredients. On an occasion where I was sent the wrong meal they quickly credited me back that cost and it was an easy fix.
We thought we would try Hello Fresh for the convenience of having our food delivered. Our first meal was their version of moussaka - a vegi version, no meat. That was ok but it was not as good as traditional moussaka. Next morning we were both in pain with stomach cramps and needing the toilet every couple of hours. Four days on and we are still not better. I'll never trust a meal delivery company again. I wonder what hygiene is like in their packing area.

My very first box had one completely wrong meal and the other meal was missing the meat! I tried contacting customer experience and it was very frustrating experience. They wouldn't refund my money and would only give me a credit for 5 weeks when my intro period was over. The agent was sarcastic and not at all helpful. I have canceled Hello Fresh and hope to find a better meal service that actually sends the meals and ingredients ordered. A total rip off!
My first box still has not arrived. It's days late, no courier update. But a credit towards my next box was offered. Think not! Had to fight for a refund that will take 5 to 10 business days. Amazing they take our $$ immediately, but to return takes week. Save yourself hassle. Go to the grocery store! What a disappointment & aggravating first & last experience! You can see my empty plate picture! No box, no food, no $$
Tip for consumers:
Do not waste your $ they will take it upon order.. offer a credit towards your next box(after you don’t receive the first one) unless you text fight! Ugh what a pain in the ass!!

The box of food never arrived!! This is the best diet ever.. you pay & get nothing in exchange!!
Food is good. Price is great when you start up. Just paid $64 for 2 meals. Nothing special, pictures attached. I could have gotten at local grocer way cheaper. Tried to cancel. Followed instructions. The link to cancel never comes up. They ask you use an actual computer. I did. Still no button to cancel.
My very first box doesn't show up after waiting 2 weeks and receiving numerous emails that it is coming. Website says delivered so I contact support. It was never sent and the support person does not know why. This is not how you do business with a new customer. Even after canceling it still says here is what was in your last box. What a joke, I'll try somewhere else.
Tip for consumers:
Go somewhere else

NONE got to make it to me first
Ordered first 3 meals and found a large dirty piece of plastic sealed inside the broccoli bag. Gave us an $8 refund. Poor customer service.
I received my first order very poor products and seriously under sized portion. I want cancel my account and I'm being stopped at ever attempt. It's a trap you can come in but never leave!

Tip for consumers:
Make sure to remember that you have to choose your meals/have the option to skip only until a certain day of the week (which coincides with your box delivery date).
I have been getting Helli Fresh deliveries for about a year now, the last few months even before the corona virus pandemic, they were not hitting the mark, missing ingredients, missing meals now I have been waiting almost a week for a deli ever that was supposed to be here on Wednesday. I then track my delivery to see where it is and FEd EX says the shipped it back to the shipper. NO Communication whatsoever! I will NEVER use this service again!
I have had 17 boxes delivered to a family member attending law school, very few problems, on time. Suddenly week 18 and 19 the payment not going through. I called three times, verified with bank funds available, at Hello Fresh's insistence. Hello Fresh flips me off saying it's on my end. Asked for a supervisor to correct situation, supervisor refuses to speak with me. Customer Service reps have no information to give out and no one able to resolve issue. Very dissatisfied with company at this point.
Today I was excited to cook the beef and cheese tostada that I ordered from hello fresh. After checking all the ingredients I can't find the cilantro and southwest spice. I was so disappointed. I made a salsa without cilantro and taste awful. I've been their customer for a year now and this is not the first that they forgot to ship all the ingredients for a particular menu. Its really frustrating.
First shipment has rotten produce, second box just never showed up. They refunded the money for the second box but really didn't care that the meals I was expecting to use all week just never showed up. Box was said to be "returned for inspection" to fedex. That's just a little weird, in my opinion. So, out of the two weeks I ordered, one box had rotten potatoes, and the second box just never showed up. Don't bother with this company.
Tip for consumers:
It may seem like a “deal” at first, but it’s not. I ended up paying about $50/meal for a family of 4.
Products used:
The meals were pretty good once prepared, but not worth the cost.
Poor onbaording process, made to add payment method and charged before choosing boxes. Then not charged correct amount joining as a new customer. Customer service not interested in rectifying the issue. Unsubscribed immediately.
Tip for consumers:
Don't sign up to this site you will be charged and made to add payment method before selecting a box. You will then not receive the new customer discount with customer service not interested in rectifying the issue even though you'll be subscribing to weekly orders. Absolute farce!
Never had such an awful experience after cancelling my account they continued to send me packages so I went as far as cancelling / putting a hold on my card! All of the sudden they show up at my door after being out of town for vacation to rotted food that they charged me for! I called again to tell them to stop and they said I had never cancelled it... It's a nightmare dealing with them! I am a single mom who works 60 hours a week this was suppose to make my life easier I assure you that isn't the case.
Tip for consumers:
Use another company there are plenty ...scam!

Food - rotted
It comes all boxed up w/ recipes and usually the correct amount of ingredients. It's advertised as fast and easy but it's not always; problems w/ missing ingredients. Furthermore even if they perfected this I still have such a disdain for the product I'd never recommend it in any way. It requires the "chef" to dirty a bunch of cups, pots, cutting bored. Which is a burden latter naturally. If you would like to dirty a bunch of kitchen utensils on recipes that are fluffed up go for it. It has led me to nearly having a full blown aneurysm w/ the tedium of it all.
Tip for consumers:
It’s been the cause of unrest in my house every time it’s tried. I’m grown such a disdain for it that I refuse to take part in any of it. I don’t even eat the stuff it aggravates me so much. I haven’t hated a product so much ever.

I just make every meal easily. Meat, potato, and vegetables. Easy.
Part of Hello Fresh service is to provide recipe cards with ingredients. The recipe cards are essential in cooking the meals. However, Hello Fresh have continuously failed to provide all recipe cards with ingredients. When they were contacted to send the missing recipe cards separately they refused to do so. Extremely poor customer services. Had to cancel subscription and will join another company who provide a proper service and customer service.
Got my order today. 3 bags with a few potatoes, herbs, pasta and 4 oz chicken. I could have bought this in the grocery store. Wait I have. I don't want to pay someone to go shopping, deliver it and then take 45 minutes to prepare and cook. Didn't waste my time putting it in the fridge. It was put in the garbage immediately. Never ordering again. High sodium, have to cook myself, have no idea how this got 9.8. I have to order food now. Thanks alot
I honestly enjoyed HelloFresh since it saved me a trip to the grocery store. Randomly we would receive the wrong meals all together or we would be missing items. Wasn't honestly that big of a deal. Well recently I started noticing random separate charges to my bank account from hello fresh on top of what my box should cost. It ranged from 9-24 dollars. I couldn't figure it out and the website is nearly impossible to navigate when it comes to customer complaints. I would not recommend.
Previously had good experience with HelloFresh in past. Purchased a $60 gift card for parents as a Christmas present. Ordered 3 individual meals and had to pay an extra $9.99 for shipping which was fine. Helped parents with order to their picking which was vegetarian options. Was charged an extra $35. Called customer service and apparently vegetarian is an upgraded "gourmet" option. Spent total of $105 for three dinners for two, won't ever do business with them again
My husband and I enjoyed Hello Fresh our first few meals. After this, my husband asked me to cancel our food delivery. I found it totally difficult to figure out how to do this. Another batch of food arrived, although I thought I had said to stop delivery, my bank account was charged, etc. I have requested at least 4-5 times for Hello Food to stop this charge on my bank account and delivery. Is this some SCAM? Anyone else have similar experiences? I will NEVER suggest Hello Fresh to anyone.
I'm done with these guys. They sent my meal box to an address 70 miles away. Nobody in their customer service could figure anything out... I had to call the delivery service myself. When I finally talked to someone who wasn't clueless, he told me he could refund the box (no additional credit for the trouble) and it would take 10 days to get my money. What a clown circus.

First week was two days late but food was good. Second week I was depending on a meal and realized no meat was included!
Not to mention vegetables where withered.
Making a grilled cheese sandwich tonight.
Thanks Hello Fresh

Hello Fresh?. More like Hell No!. Worst food delivery company. No wonder it ddidn't even make the top 5.
This was over priced food and all I got for it was about a week curled up in a fetal position, sick to my stomach and needing to throw up as well as other, even more disgusting things. This company has a repitation of over charging your credit card, charging for 3 people instead of 2... little "mistakes" lime that... not to be trusted, not one bit so check your credit/bank statements. Quick.
I live in an hot climate and they deliver this stuff by UPS. Yes, it's packed in ice and packed pretty decently but they don't take into account delivery routes. My UPS guy brings mine at the end of the day meaning the ice had melted. I tried several times and had this happen. Giving 3 stars because the batches that showed up still frozen were really good. They need to find better ways to keep cold for the hotter climates.
Tip for consumers:
If you live in a hot climate beware. Maybe order during the cold months.

It started off great - fresh, easy to cook food sent to your doorstep. What's not to love? Apparently, a lot can go wrong. A few weeks in I receive a box with improperly sealed meat and vinegars, with juices soaking through multiple meals. Ew. They gave me $35 in credit for the trouble. It sounds ok but remember this for later. The very next week, I find a delivery slip saying I was missed. I work from home all day and no one rang. When I contacted customer service they first said I didn't have my callbox information but when I questioned how delivery were able to ring me on previous weeks they said "Yes, I see." but wouldn't do anything to help. They wanted me to go on my own time, 50-min and 50-min back to get the box from the Purolator office. Unbelievable. I know Purolator sucks but you chose them as your carrier - take responsibility. Now remember the $35 credit? I can't use it until I use up all of my discounted boxes first. So I'm really out ~2 boxes at the end of the day. "Smart" business plan but angry and insulted customers!
They use very unreliable delivery service and miss 2 out of 3 deliveries and you can't get through on their customer service number to get a refund. They put you on hold and you listen to music until you hang up. They never answer. Try them but good luck getting your money back when they don't show up.
I had to cancel the plan because when paused they continued to ship. They continued to ship despite customer service noting it was indeed canceled. I disputed the last charge on my card because of this. They had it reversed. NEVER EVER AGAIN. Don't do it!
Yes, since they don't answer their phone you can't cancel your subscription. And since they use a very unreliable delivery service, every 2nd or 3rd delivery, your food doesn't show up When you call their phone number you can't get through.
Delicious, pre-measured ingredients and simple, chef-made recipes that we deliver to your doorstep every week. Extra flexible for your busy lifestyle.
