How do I change my delivery day?

To change your delivery day click here.

Remember changes to your delivery must be made before your weekly order cut-off. You can find your weekly order cut-off in the ‘My Deliveries' section of your account.

Is there a deadline for making changes to my order?

All changes (including meal swaps, skipping deliveries, changing your box type and cancelling your subscription) need to be made by the deadline. Payment will be taken the following day, so please ensure your payment details are up to date and that you have sufficient funds in your account.

You can find your weekly order cut-off in the ‘My Deliveries’ section of your account.

I have a voucher code, why are you charging me $1?
This $1 charge is just a temporary verification fee and will be refunded within 10 days. This applies to all of our orders (even free boxes) so that we can ensure we have current payment details in place for people who are starting an ongoing subscription.
When will my payment go through?

You will be charged for your initial order at any time between completing the first order, and the first relevant Order Cut-Off time. You can find the order cut-off for your first delivery in the ‘My Deliveries’ section of your account.

Following the delivery of your first box, your weekly HelloFresh payments are taken the day following your weekly order cut-off.

Please ensure your payment details are up to date and that you have sufficient funds in your account.

How long do refunds take to process?
Once your refund has been applied, please allow 3-10 business days for it to process and appear on your statement.
When is my weekly order cut-off?

We now only have one weekly cut off date, no matter what your delivery day is. This will be Tuesday on the week before your delivery is due to arrive. You can find your weekly order cut-off in the ‘My Deliveries’ section of your account.

By reducing the amount of cut off days, our team is able to more accurately source your ingredients each week, helping us reduce any waste at our warehouse while ensuring you receive fresh ingredients.

Do you offer boxes for one?
For the time being we don't have a box that is designed for one person. Each of our recipes are designed with two or more in mind. Having said that, we do have many single-person households as customers. They can choose the 3-meal plan for 2 people and gain eternal popularity with their friends, tuck into any remaining food from their meals later in the week, or pack them for a work lunch the following day!
Do you cater for specific dietary requirements?

We understand it can be tricky to cater to a household of different requirements, so our Food Info page is here to save the day if you need to check the ingredients for allergens.

Halal
At this stage, some of our meat suppliers are certified Halal whilst others are not, so we are unable to guarantee a meal plan suitable for those following a Halal diet.

Paleo/Vegan/Dairy/Gluten Free
At this stage, we don't have an entirely paleo, vegan, dairy-free or gluten-free meal box preference for our customers but please keep in mind, all ingredients are separately packed and clearly labelled, with an ingredients list for all recipes available in advance HERE. This means you have the opportunity to omit or substitute any ingredient that you can't, or don't want to eat.

Many of our customers with special dietary needs in the family find that with a little tweaking, our HelloFresh boxes work well for them!

How can I keep my ingredients fresh?

Our veggies arrive to us fresh from the markets and our suppliers, and should always stay fresh for the course of the week. Of course, leafy ingredients like baby spinach, coriander, watercress or parsley are more fragile and we suggest you use these sooner rather than later.

Our meats have different expiry dates and are fine to consume up until, and including, that day. We use an airtight technology to package a lot of our meat products, which doesn't use any nasties or chemicals to prolong shelf life. For this reason, fresh air is trapped inside and can occasionally give a confinement odour to the meat once opened. Don't be concerned – the meat is perfectly safe to consume and this odour will dissipate once the meat is left open in the air for 5-10 minutes before using it. We recommend you eat your chicken and seafood first, and after that pork and red meats like beef and lamb.

Why does my chicken smell funny?

The odour you can smell is probably a result of our Cryovac packaging. While it keeps your chicken fresher for longer, the lack of circulating air (and excess nitrogen) can release an odour when the packaging is opened.

Rest assured, it is perfectly fine to consume up until, and including, the day of expiry. Just let it air for 3 minutes after opening!

Should you have any concerns about the quality of your chicken, please get in touch with us here.
