Can I send free boxes to my friends and family?

Absolutely! Our free first delivery promotion is an offer that we give our customers to spread the HelloFresh cheer. This promotion will be offered to you when you hit certain milestones in the HelloFresh family.

To check whether you are eligible to send boxes, log in to your account and look on the top right of the page for a button called 'HelloFriends'. Click here and the 'HelloFriends' button will show a little red number in the red dot indicating how many boxes you can send. From here, you select 'Send free box' then enter your friend's email address and they will receive an email from us with your gift and instructions on how they can sign up and enjoy their first box on us!

If you can't see a red dot next to 'HelloFriends', please look out for an email which we will send when this offer is valid for you.

Can I cancel my subscription through the HelloFresh app?

You’re not able to cancel your subscription via the app. Your subscription can be easily cancelled or skipped at any time through the HelloFresh website here.

Please note, if you have an active voucher applied to your account it may become void once you cancel your subscription. We don’t want you to miss out so if you just want to take a break, you can always use the 'Skip’ option in your menu selection to skip weeks.

How can I see credit on my account?
To see credit on your account please click here. Scroll down to see your credit balance under the 'HelloFresh Cash balance'.
Can I send free boxes to my friends and family?

Absolutely! Our HelloFriends program offers you the chance to share free HelloFresh boxes with your friends and family and earn credit in return. They’ll receive a week of free meals and you’ll receive a credit off your next box when they sign up. It's a win-win.

To check whether you are eligible to send boxes you just need to log in to your account and you will see a small gift box with a number on it next to your name at the top right. If you’re using the HelloFresh app, simply choose the ‘HelloFriends’ button at the bottom of the screen. From here, select ‘Share a free box’, enter your friend's email address and they'll receive instructions on how to redeem their freebie.

Once your friend has redeemed their free box and placed an order, you will receive an email notifying you that your credit is ready to redeem. Simply click the ‘Use Credit’ button and your credit will move from ‘pending’ to ‘received’ balance and automatically apply to your next delivery (unless there is a current discount code on your account). Please note, the ‘received’ balance will reflect the total credit you’ve received from every referral, not your remaining balance.

How do I redeem my HelloFriends credit? Your HelloFriends credit will be applied to your account when your friend signs up to HelloFresh and redeems their free box voucher. Once your friend redeems their free box and places an order, you will receive an email notifying you that your credit is ready to redeem. Simply click the ‘Use Credit’ button and your credit will be activated and automatically apply to your next delivery. If you’re having trouble finding this email, please check your inbox and spam folder.

What do pending HelloFriends credit mean? Under the ‘pending’ balance in the HelloFriends section of your HelloFresh account, you will see a credit for each friend you have sent an email to with the free box promotion.

Please note, the ‘received’ balance will reflect the total credit you’ve received from every referral, not your remaining balance.

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!
