How does HelloFresh work?

We’re a meal kit delivery service designed to make dinnertime simply delicious! How do we do this? By delivering fresh, seasonal ingredients and easy-to-follow recipe cards right to your door, making it quick and easy for you to cook wholesome dinners the whole household will love!

You select your meals to create your perfect menu, and we’ll deliver the exact amounts of everything you need to make the meal. You’ll just need to have a few pantry staples on hand (don’t worry - it’s just basic things like salt, pepper and oil). We run a flexible subscription, so there’s no scary lock-in terms or cancellation fees. And the best part? You can manage your account on the go via our free HelloFresh app.

Don't forget, if you need to make any changes to your upcoming delivery, make sure that you do so before your weekly order cut-off which you can find in the ‘My Deliveries' section of your account.

What if I’m not home to accept the delivery?

It's no problem at all! In fact, lots of our customers are not home at the time of delivery. When you confirm your order, you'll have the option to leave delivery instructions for your driver so they can leave your box in a safe place (like your back door or under your porch bench).

Rest assured, our boxes are specially designed to keep your food cool, with insulated cool pouches and ice packs to keep your ingredients as fresh as you'd expect.

I just a payment reminder, what do I do?

This means we were unable to process payment for a delivery you received. We'll attempt payment three times before your delivery. If we're unable to take the payment successfully we'll send an email and SMS with a link to pay.

If you would like to pay now click here. You'll be able to see all unsuccessful payments, and pay by clicking 'Proceed to Payment'. You can also update your payment method if needed.

How do I update my personal details?

If for any reason you need to change your personal details such as your email address or password, it's easy to do from your online account by clicking here.

Remember, any changes that affect 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.

How can I track the delivery of my box?

You will receive a tracking link via SMS which you can follow to check the current status of your delivery. This will be sent from New Zealand Post or Urgent Couriers.

Is it still within your selected delivery window? It may be that your delivery driver is still on their way to you! You can check your selected delivery window here.

If your delivery window has passed and your box still hasn't arrived, please check the tracking link for the latest updates. Otherwise, please click here to get in touch with us and one of our agents will follow up directly with the couriers.

I didn't get my box. What should I do?

Oh no! We're really sorry to hear that your box didn't arrive safely. You may have received a text message the night before your box was scheduled with a tracking link, so please check this for an update on your delivery.

Before getting in touch with our customer care team, please check your delivery window. Keep in mind that the delivery driver has up until the end of the window to deliver your box. Please note, we are unable to call drivers when they are on route. The driver may have left the box in an alternative safe place, so please also check the vicinity of your property.
