Scammy app

They enroll you in subscriptions without u even knowing about it

Inconsistent Delivery

Service was great until they changed to their delivery provider. Every week my box is either infinitely delayed and arrives days after the scheduled date full of spoiled food. Also used to be able to chat with a human, now it feels like a useless AI. Fix your delivery provider.

Amazing Customer Service

I made a mistake and my order went to the wrong house. I didn’t realize when the order was supposed to be delivered yet so I didn’t even notice. When I did finally notice, my next box was supposed to be delivered to the wrong house again in 2 days. I told them I realized my first box couldn’t be refunded, that was my fault but could I either change the address in time for the one in 2 days or could the refund me. The first person I spoke to said no due to their policy that you have to make changes in 5 days. I was so so so upset. Because I would be losing 6 meals and $120 and needed that money to buy food. Anyway, I got to talk to the resolution team and they were so kind and refunded it all. I’m literally crying because I couldn’t have afforded to get new groceries if not. I had cancelled my account when they said they couldn’t refund me because I literally couldn’t afford more money taken out right now but since they did this, I will be starting it again. Both the original customer service person and the resolution team were kind and I know they were just doing their job when they said no but I’m so happy they were able to fix it. I never make reviews but I’m so happy right now.

Don’t waste your money

I used HelloFresh for years and always loved their boxes and the food they’d send, never had any issues. Recently I did have a problem with a box so reached out to their help team but they wouldn’t help at all. I also tried to file a complaint about the issue but apparently they can’t file a complaint either. Now I’m out the money for the box, apparently won’t be getting my food, and they won’t even let me use the discount they’d offered me. This used to be my favorite meal kit service even though it was a bit on the pricier side, but now I have canceled my subscription and will not be using their other kits; EveryPlate, Green Chef, or Factor. There are other kits owned by companies who still care about their customers so don’t bother giving HelloFresh your business.

Top notch curriers service on 2/8/2026 10am for U509 15 Thompson st Kensington VIC 3031

Outstanding delivery. This courier managed the apparently advanced feat of bringing my HelloFresh box all the way to my apartment door. Please promote him to trainer and have him teach the others. Really appreciate the effort and the service.

Veho Delivered

Please continue using Veho to deliver food & not FedEx!!!! Veho delivered my box safely and without destroying the box. The ice blocks were only half melted!!!👏👏👏

Meat supplier

Thank you for changing to a better quality meat supplier. The beef in particular is soooo much better. Thank you.

Updating after years of using the product.

Hello fresh is an easy no thought escape from the daily pain of deciding on whats for dinner.

Thats where it ends though. With years of experience in hello fresh i can say they only get it right half the time. Wheather its a missing cooking sheet, a burst meat packet, or a literal missing ingredient. Hello fresh is the mcdonalds of “at your door ready to cook dinner” they just cant seem to get it right even after working with costumer service.

Hello fresh is a good service if you want to learn some new cooking techiques but that ends after a couple months when you start to realize the silly cooking decisions their chefs make.

If your set on a certian meat don rely on them to provide. We had 8 weeks of them subsituting chicken instead of beef or pork. We hate chicken here and we complained multiple times but they dont care. Be prepared to not recieve the meat you pay for.

Do not subscribe to hello fresh unless you want exert extra effort on you dinner beyond shopping and prepping

Great app, terrible customer service

Reactivated my account and changed address at the same time. Well it takes 5 days for the address to change. AND hello fresh decided to ship before the 5 days and now I’m out a box and 100 dollars.

costs

I put items in my cart and wanted to checkout when i had enough to buy it, but no the app automatically used my card to pay for it making it go into negatives and then costing me another overdraft fee of 30 dollars on top of already being almost 20 dollars in the negatives

Worst Company Ever

I have never in my life left a review but feel like it is appropriate to leave one for this company. The worst company ive ever dealt with 2 years ago and even worse now. I was sold again after a door to door representative knocked on my door and said they had been taken over and are better than before. Stupidly i believed it and i was meant to have my first delivery on Monday to which it didnt show up of course. I contacted them and they said it would be there by 9pm by at which point the food would have been in edible as it would have been out the freezer for 48 hours. Then by 9pm of course it said it was undelivered and couldnt track the parcel. I was then offered a refund to my hello fresh account for my next order 🤣 i said i will not use again and this time i mean it. Genuinely from the bottom of my heart the worst experience and company i have ever dealt with.

Scammy subscription

Like everything these days they want a subscription pay now and try to figure out how to get out of it later. I just wanted to have a browse and ended up with an order on it’s way which was chosen by the app and spent the next hour trying to figure out how to cancel everything

Recent UI changes

Generally I’ve liked the updates but the recent one is really annoying when I try to filter recipes. On the home page I used to have options next to “ for you” such as premium, wellness, quick and easy”. Now they’re gone as of Aug 03 and I have to scroll through the homepage and search recipe details. This seems both deceptive ( in the case of premium) and annoying.

Scam

Totally scam
If you cancel service, you will never get your money back to your original payment

Bait and switch scam

They claim to give you discounts but they are not upfront. I was supposed to receive 3 more discounts on my orders. Instead they charged me full price. $77 for 2 meals is absolutely insane.

Recipe Card FAILS

I have been a loyal customer of HelloFresh for *years* and prior to today might have been able to give full stars. But I just received my latest box and two of the recipe cards are for meals I did not order nor receive. I have previously contacted Customer Support about the importance of getting recipe cards as I do not cook with my phone in the kitchen. Two missing recipe cards means two fewer stars for this service I really want to love but currently hate.

Horrible service

Hello Fresh sends ingredients strictly against people’s beliefs and refuses to make it right. Will not longer deal with company.

Delivery time is not reliable

I’ve used many different meal
delivery services. I’ve been using hello fresh for 2 months and my box has arrived late multiple times. As a single mother, timely delivery is super important as I don’t have extra money to buy additional dinners. Most importantly is how unhelpful support is. They apologize and offer $10 credit. I’m going to have to spend at least $100 on food for tonight and they’re offering me $10? Hungry root was never late and I used them for a year straight.

Buried functionally

Hate the update. The SKIP THIS WEEK functionality is so buried I haven’t been able to find it. Purposeful? If I don’t find it soon I’ll cancel service. Easier to do that than have vices I can’t use show up because they’ve made it hard to skip weeks.

Scam

They won’t tell you until after your order is supposed to have arrived whether or not they’ll deliver to your address. if they don’t, you’ll only get a credit. beyond that, they make it unreasonably hard to cancel a subscription. not worth it.
