Hello Fresh - Stop putting this shit on Snapchat we don't give any fucks - Food Delivery Services Near Me

Although I heard mixed reviews prior to ordering my first box, mostly people telling me they constantly take your money even when you're led to believe you've cancelled your subscription, I decided to take a shot and I was glad I did, the food was great and it make my evenings easier. Although, I wasn't keen on the 15% fat minced beef. However, I was then never informed I'd be charged again for a box the following week. I decided to go ahead with the second box anyway, because I enjoyed the first, to which I found I was unable to choose my meals/ingredients, for this box I had already been charged for. The box due to come in 5 days time is useless to me due to dietary requirements, and although I wouldn't be receiving my box for another 5 whole days, they told me there is nothing that can be done and proceeded to tell me "there must be someone you can give your box to". Not choosing my ingredients was no fault of my own, as I never received any notification, reminder or email informing me a second box was due to be ordered and that I had a deadline to choose the ingredients/meals. They simply told me on the phone they don't send email reminders and notifications unless you are a frequent user of Hello Fresh. This is clearly a complete scam and misleading to customers. I am paying for a weeks worth of dinners to which I cannot eat. Hello Fresh do not care about food waste, or ensuring their customers are getting meals they desire, they just want to make sure they get their money. read more

I feel this business utilized deceptive practices that mislead people into giving their billing details upon going to their homepage. I would highly recommend avoiding this company. Details are below: When going to their homepage on a mobile phone, the user is asked to immediately create an account and provide billing information. I usually would not give information at this point, but I thought HelloFresh was a legitimate, well known, and trustworthy company. My information is the used to automatically sign you me for a subscription where I did not get to choose my meals, and most importantly, I did not get any email notifications that I would start being billed for this an automated subscription plan. It was not until a delivery company texted me that my meals would arrive the next day, that I was aware an automatic order was placed and charged to my card. I immediately called Hello Fresh, and they would not let me cancel the order or get a refund. They made many excuses about their profess, which I considered deceptive and unethical. To add to this, all of the food sent in the delivery contained allergens that my body can't tolerate. I ended up reporting it to my bank, who agreed to protect me from the actions of this vendor. read more

While signing up they day you can cancel anytime. They sent an email on friday with an offer for subscription. i gave my payment detail to check the recepis, but i didnt like the variety so i cancelled. after 1 day 1 got charged. I called customer care, they said that you need to cancel before 5 days of delivery. I said i gave the payment details and them immediately cancelled within 15 mins. I never placed an order since i didnt like the items. They they mentioned its in their terms and conditions that you cant cancel your first order and every other order needs to be cancelled 5 days before delivery date. When you are taking my payment information you didnt mention that i cant cancel the first order, you instead showed "cancel anytime". This is a SCAM business. I heard about german businesses dont have any integrity and customer care. But now i can put a company name to it. WHY is the govt. allowing these businesses to even exist? read more

The one star is because the delivery was on time and with care. They offer careless nutritious meals. I choose a veggie and protein meal package for four people. And in the first box, I received a bunch o potatoes and heavy spices and ketchup and mayonnaise. The chicken and the ground beef are not even pasture-raised and grass-fed. All the sauces products in the bag do not list the ingredients. And the meals do not state the calories/Fat/Trans...etc. DO NOT recommend this! Better to eat healthily! read more

Hello Fresh - Non organic Potatoes, chicken no pastured raised "organic", ground beef (corn "organic"), bread, carrots... and Ketchup and mayonnaise. - Food Delivery Services Near Me

Horrible customer service, change address before ordering since we moved, they delivered to wrong address!! They told me it took 5 days to update and said they could not give me my money back. where was my email or call before allowing me to order ??? Will never be ordering from them again. read more

I thought I might try since I live alone. I couldn't find anything appealing to order so I didn't finish my order. Then they charged my credit card. I called them, the lady was so rude. I was told that they selected my meals for me and charged my card. I was shocked since I never even picked food or told them to finish order. Don't give them your card number, I think it's fraud. Beware of this company. read more

Hello Fresh is fraud, they say they're supposed to give you 10 free meals I get two free meals at $29.95. Don't even get to order what I want they just sent me meals gave those meals away because I couldn't eat them and then they didn't even email me to ask me to order the next batch of meals and just sent them to me anyway and I'm not even going to be in town. I expected to be contacted when I wanted to order meals from them again not when they want me to eat! ITS A SCAM! No such thing as free meals when you sign up. CANCELED read more

#1 The food itself was very tasty. Not particularly calorie conscious. #2. The price at $10/meal not that economical. #3. The immediate charges and locking in order with no ability to see the charges, review and change options, cancel, etc. #4. The premium meal choice I clicked looked like and extra $1 and turned out to be an extra $9 PER SERVING. Completely opaque and ridiculous. #5. Then I did talk with someone - cancel... and still got sent first box. It took me two phone calls and well over an HOUR to cancel and get ANY kind of refund. Sorry the business practices are shameful! There are another half dozen of these to try. I liked Every Plate much better! read more

Their billing feels very dishonest and deceitful. I'm extremely dissatisfied and feel like I've been ripped off. My wife and me had both seen ads popping up saying that you would get 16 free meals with a subscription, and thought that sounded interesting and like something worth trying. Well, I created an account there, and it generated a list of 4 meals it was going to ship to us. However, my wife has some food allergies, and we looked through the list and found that we would need to substitute most of the meals they picked out for ones that would be safe for her. You can't even see their menus until you put in a card to pay with, and the moment you put in a card, they bill it for that first box. You're buying food blind, and unless you have no dietary restrictions or allergies (and are willing to eat whatever they provide or suggest) you can be very disappointed with whatever they provide. We found that only maybe a quarter of the meals met her dietary needs. Well, if we could ONLY order those things, then maybe it might be worth it, but there was a problem. Apparently there's a LARGE surcharge for a "gourmet" meal if you make any substitutions in their pre-set menu. Basically substituting any of the pre-selected meals doubles the cost of that meal on your bill. Also, the "16 free meals" basically means discounts equal to the normal cost of 16 meals through their program, spread out over your first 8 deliveries. So, I went to cancel my subscription. However, it says that my charge for the first box has already been made and cannot be cancelled. I hadn't even picked out my menu yet, but they insist on sending that box to me and billing me for food we can't eat. I'll be contesting that $40 bill for a box of food we can't eat with my bank. read more

Crappy food and even worse service. We tried these guys because my father gave us a code for free meals. #1 even at the discounted price for 4 meals for 2 people it was not worth it. Missing ingredients or spoiled meat are a common occurrence so I tried to cancel the account and I thought I had but come to my surprise it didn't cancel and continued to charge my card to my surprise it was 113.47 when the first box was maybe 60. I called 2 hours after I was charged they informed there was nothing they can do and then I got man-splained on how to work the website and then hung up on. so i turned to Reddit and took their advice of blasting them on SM to get some form of help which took an entire day for them to stop my order. Horrible service read more

I decided to try HelloFresh. I got my first box Friday. It was meh. I canceled today, but I couldn't cancel the order arriving next Friday. I had to give five days notice, and Monday evening was too late. When I complained, I was told I should have read the terms and conditions. My mistake, but it won't happen again! read more

SCAM!! FRAUD!!! They will ACTUALLY steal your money and not give it back!!! Out of the blue, they charged my card for over $100 .... (It had been over a year since I ordered anything, I have no subscription of any kind) When I called to get a refund... they said they couldn't do it... and gave me INSANE reasons. Even CRAZIER ... the box of food they charged me for NEVER CAME and it said "delivered".... When I called they couldn't help me. Shocked... total fraud! Absolute scam! Beyond shocked!! read more

This has to be the biggest scam service company EVER. First of all, they don't ship you meals they send you recipes plus ingredients. Isn't that SPECIAL! Next, their website doesn't allow you to browse their meal offerings until you send them the $$$$ to sign up. Like WTF. Their website has NO PHONE # or contact email! Hello! Perhaps if you live in Antarctica you may benefit from such a service but to all others, I think NOT. If you do business with this company in any manner, you are not thinking too clearly. STAY AWAY from HELLOFRESH. read more

If I could I would give them a 0. First box was delivered to the wrong apartment. So I get email saying it was delivered I look out and nothing (I work from Home) so I went up to leasing office to see if its been left up there, but no it has not been. I go to try to track the package but get no where because you can not access that info if you have cancelled, you have to reactivate and I did not want that as I actually never wanted this first box and cancelled service (of course not in enough time, so I got a suprise on my bank statement I was charged, but I took that I thought ok my fault. ill get one box and try and cancelled any future orders, thinking that I dont need my cc removed certainly they will not charge me again. Box not here, call rep on phone she proceeds to tell me after putting me on hold and asking what color my apart door was, then tells me to wait until 8pm and see if delivery is made. Well I go in and think something is up, so I go ahead and reactivate the acct to get tracking and it shows the pic the driver took and was delivered to the wrong apart to 1048 not 1068. So I call them back and rep tells me he is going escalate this and then I tell him I do not want any more boxes and to cancel my acct. Three days later they charge me again for a box, that I will not receive. call them this time and was told that I would have to have called and canceled sooner to not get charged for this next box, and because the agent I spoke to on Thursday did not cancel or make a note about cancellation its my fault...... Worst customer service he just keeps repeating the same thing, I ask to talk to sup..... We can not do that. So not only did I get charged 30$ for a box that was not delivered to my apartment now they have scammed out of another 70$....... And will not do anything to help STAY AWAY FROM HELLO FRESH....... AS THEY ARE THE WORST FOOD DELIVERY SERVICE I HAVE SEEN. read more

Hello Fresh - My apartment is 1068 and of course 1048 residents say they did not find a box on there step - Food Delivery Services Near Me

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY A TOTAL SCAM..... Get you to sample and then say that you signed up for weekly shipping and they keep charging your account. FOOD SUCKS TOO!! read more

Created an account just to see what they had to offer. They automatically charged my card and sent random meals that didn't even seem appetizing at all. They charged me again the following week. Such a scam of a company. read more

Once you're looking at the menu it's too late to cancel your first box. I cancelled the same day I signed up and they still charged me and sent me the food I knew I couldn't eat because their menu doesn't meet my allergy requirements. Let people really cancel! read more

This is my first Yelp review ever. Please do yourselves a favor and do not subscribe to this company! They are so unprofessional. Their delivery service is absolutely the worst- the drivers will just throw your box anywhere in the property even if you have explicit directions to bring to your apartment door. They left my box out in the summer at extreme temperatures and also put it inside a mailbox locker despite a paper with building instructions stating that it is against building policies. They made me change delivery every day of the week with the promise that the delivery would be more reliable. I recently sent me two boxes without proper ice and proper insulation. They usually sent two ice packs and and put everything in an insulation bag. This is a huge safety and health concern. Please please do not support this company. read more

I just received our first box and the meals barely qualify as overpriced appetizers. Also, they don't give refunds. I wouldn't accept any more of their packages if they were free. It is a glorified bag of groceries that you can carry in one grocery bag. Just don't do it!!!! read more

I signed up a Thursday at 3pm and then realized majority of meals required preparation (the site does not mention this small detail) and were NOT pre-made. I cancelled 15 minutes later online AND called to confirm. Helloscam still sent a box the following Monday and charged me $150. When I called customer service, a well-versed customer service scam artist, completely familiar with the scam, informed me I was outside of 5 day window to cancel the delivery and blah blah blah. When I told customer service scam artist department I would dispute the charge, he taunted me and informed that Helloscam would "respond accordingly". Run, don't walk. read more

I received an offer from Hello Fresh and clicked on it to review. I was a short term customer two years ago and had a stored payment. Well needless to say my account was charged as soon as I found out I called and was told that my account was to be refunded. so when no refund was given I called back and was told to bad by clicking on the offer I accepted the product and it was to late. A male who told me it was cancelled gave me a reference number which turned out to be my account number, the second person an un named person was awful and hung up on my, then the third person RIVA who was going to help me and was looking into my problem hung up on me and the FORTH person Maria was nice but said if you click on an offer you are getting a box no matter if you chose anything or not. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY DONT TRUST WHAT THEY SAY... THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY product is OK not great! read more

We have been ordering Hello Fresh since the beginning of the pandemic. We have had some great experiences, and some disappointments. One thing that has been consistent is that if we have an issue and use the chat feature on their website, we get a great response and are often credited for whatever our concerns have been. Lately I feel like there are less meals that we would choose from-I eat gluten free and more and more meals are heavy on the gluten. BUT this process has simplified our cooking and eating process and I would recommend it for anyone to give it a try. read more

tried to find food service delivery that woulds allow me to SEE what I would order. Seems ALL programs want all your info and your credit card info BEFORE you can see what is available...what is good for one is NOT good for all...Will go to store and purchase my meals. read more

The worst customer service reps that I have ever encountered. I will never order their meal plans again

First and foremost I was very upset the delivery of $112 automatically shipped when I reactivated my account. By the time I saw the charge on my checking account it was within the 5-day period and hellofresh would neither cancel nor refund. They offered me a $10 gift card to keep my account open. I was extremely disappointed when the order arrived. $112 for quesadillas for 2, corn chowder for 2, and a simple pasts dish and simple stir fry for two- without proteins added!- is ridiculous and that was with free.shipping. Second, this food I did not want and did not actually order isn't even food Iwill eat because of the sugat and carb and salt content. $112 essentially stolen for overpriced semi-healthy food.k read more

Was referred by our daughter for the "free" meals for a short period of time. Well, it turned out "free" was very misleading. As with the used car lot down the street, Hello Fresh is "fairly honest some of the time." Their shippig charges are extremely high. They like to charge fees to our credit card for various fees. Their "terms and conditions" are written in so small a font that you need a large magnifying lens to begin to read. Warning; be very very careful when using this company. Most of the rest of users reporting to Yelp agree. Barely one star rating. read more

Customer service is AWFUL. Box was delivered to an old address. when I contacted the company via chat to tell them the delivery address was wrong, I was told not to be concerned-it would be delivered to the new address (even tho I made it clear that I had changed the address after I got the shipping notification). As I expected, it was not delivered. when I called customer service, I was essentially blamed for not receiving the box with no offer of accommodation. representative was abrupt and simply repeated the same thing over and over. so I'm left with a charge on my account and no food and a terrible experience. read more

I signed up for this fradulent company only to find out that the carb friendly menu was loaded with carbs. So, I canceled within minutes. Yet, I found a box on my porch three days after I signed up. And of course, I was charged. Contacting customer support, they would not refund the cost. This is bait and switch on their menu claims. On top of that, will not refund a thing even though they were in the wrong. Stay away from these thieves! read more

They delivered the wrong food items, not to mention some of the produce was bad. We had also mentioned our dietary restrictions in the beginning but they still sent us those recipes. We had to toss them out since we don't eat them. Moreover, when I reached out to customer support, they were giving me a hard time canceling the subscription. read more

Let's put hello fresh out of business. They have bad reviews and alot of bbb complaints. They can reactivate your account and charge you for deliveries and there's nothing you can do about it. They won't refund you or deactivate your account if you request it. They hand up on you and don't help you resolve anything. They need to get shut down. They run an illegal operation. read more

My wife ordered 3 meals per week to make cooking for her easier. It is expensive and for the most part good. There were several times when the shipment was damaged and we got credit. The real problem was when we received our last order there was a lot of blood in the box. I don't know where it came from because all the packages were sealed tight. The paper bags were soaked and there was about 6 oz of blood in the bottom. We have been calling for 2 weeks now and can't get anyone in the United States to respond. All I get is the call center in the Philippines and was told we would get a call back in 24 hours which never happened. I told them it was a health hazard and I was going to report them to County Health Dept and to the USDA. Both of which I have dealings with but I guess they just don't care. Also haven't gotten a refund yet. read more

They're lucky they got a one star review, If I could give a -5 star review that is what they would get. I never ordered this product When I tried signing up to select my order on a 50% discount promotion after I picked out my meals it said there was an error processing the order. So I never tried again and then I noticed a charge on my bank for 29.94 so I immediately called the number and was told by people who barely speak english they can't give a refund. I told them it never processed I never even got to choose any meals and I was told it will auto select for me. WTF do I want them to auto select something I may not even like. This place of business is a scam and I recommend never using them unles you like to just throw your money away. I know I don't and will be issuing a stop payment on this via my bank immeduiately. read more

This company is god awful. They send the same ingredients for everything. My wife tried to cancel when we had our baby a couple of months ago. She kept getting messages thinking they were trying to get her back, being a new mom with alot on her plate she kept skipping not know her subscription wasn't canceled. I called before they even packed the box but was told they wouldn't refund our order and cancel the box. Its been over 6 months since we received a box.... I RECOMMEND JUST BUYING FOOD YOURSELF and not having to deal with this crappy company. read more

DO NOT even go to their website. I was planning to start ordering from them again but just wanted to search the menu first. Apparently I activated a promo code which auto renewed my account. I had no idea until I happened to check my credit card statement. I didn't even have the correct address for them to send the boxes to. I called customer service to correct this issue and had to put up a fight. It wasn't even 24 hrs since I checked the website out but they said it was too late to credit my account. I couldn't even receive the box since I moved out of state from my previous address. I eventually spoke to a supervisor who was finally able to help credit my account. I would have definitely ordered from them if this incident didn't happen. However, I'm afraid to even look at the website now. read more

This is the worse company I have ever dealt with. I set my food to be delivered starting on a specific date. Their "system" decided to deliver immediately and, therefore, the food sat outside in the heat for days as I was on vacation. They refused to refund me because I have to have the food delivered when I activate my account, not the date I selected when setting up my account. I started HF so I could plan meals, not throw them out and be charged. A wasteful scam. read more

I see an email from PayPal saying that HelloFresh has charged me for an upcoming box. I immediately contact their customer service to say that I did not want a box but apparently it automatically resumes as I had skipped weeks as was not able to cancel on line. I request to cancel this order and they say no as it is Friday and order is due to arrive Monday and that it's not enough time? I asked why a reminder email was not sent, that's not their policy and I should be aware of their policies?? I ask if I can atleast customize my order and am told no?? What kind of business is this? Send me food that I did not request and charge me for it and won't even change the recipes so you can atleast have something edible? Supervisor is not available and will call you in 24-48hours and when they do call will not be able to do anything for you... absolutely the worst and unethical company, will never order from them again. read more

BEWARE TO ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY! They charged me right away even I didn't complete my purchase! And they told me that i passed a limited time for cancel ( it's shorter than a night! Because i just saw the website late night and got a email thay they charged me already) and I told me I passed a limit time!!!! To cancel my order while i even don't know what am I ordered???? They not gonna refund for you w any reason! So beware to work w this company, i lost my money and wasted my time ! read more

Absolutely horrible customer service, I hadn't even ordered and there system forced an order for me. It hasn't even been 12 hrs and they told me that they can't cancel the order, yet in the same breath also said they have a 4 day cancel period. There liars and an absolute joke of a company. No one should ever buy any of there products. read more

Beware of these company when you stop shipment and stop your orders. They will charge your account with out you nowing it . If the account is closed, they call you up demanding you take the order you didn't make. Then when you tell them don't ship the order you don't want it because you don't have payment for it . They treated to report me to all the credit reporting places in stead of stopping the order as I requested. They demanded money from me even though I said I'm out of work with no income and I stopped my order two month before this conversation. They said they never got payment from me when they ware charging my account two or three times a week at the price of $120.00 to $140.00 at a time. So be carefull when ending you agreement with them. read more
