Why have I been contacted by a third party debt collection agency

If you have received contact from a collections agency, it means you have an outstanding amount owing for your deliveries. When a payment is unsuccessful, we will attempt to take payment three times in total. In addition to this, we will also always contact you to follow up with multiple payment reminders before referring you to our collection agency.

    Welcome to HelloFresh!

What does the price lock mean?

Our price lock means that the everyday low price of your HelloFresh plan has been locked until 31 March 2024! With the cost of living still rising, you can count on HelloFresh to take the pressure off your weekly budget thanks to everyday prices that are not just low, but locked until the end of the financial year 2024.

Whilst recently we’ve made some great improvements to the variety and flexibility of our service we are now shifting focus to keeping the everyday price low through a smarter supply chain. Through streamlining packing processes, packaging innovation and seasonal purchasing, we are able to lock in your everyday price.

How much will I be charged each week?

Pricing is dependent on the type of box you order each week. Take a look at all our pricing options here.

If you select a meal upgrade, for example a Gourmet Recipe, you will be charged for this separately to your normal meal box.

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.

How do I use a credit on my account?

Any credit on your account will automatically be applied towards your next delivery, unless there is a current discount code on your account. That being said you can still benefit from both - just not on the same delivery.

Why can I see multiple charges from HelloFresh?

An additional charge means you may have selected one of our Meal Upgrades or Extras to your delivery this week! Meal upgrades and Extras are charged to your account separately to your Meal Box each week.

To see a breakdown of your charges, head to 'Account Settings' then 'Order History' in your online account.

Why was my discounted box cancelled?

We have a limit of one promotional offer per household on your first box, so be sure to read the Terms & Conditions of the voucher you are attempting to claim. If your discount code is only valid for first-time customers and you have enjoyed a HelloFresh box before sadly you won’t be able to use this voucher.

If you already have an existing account with HelloFresh, we may need to cancel your order so you can reactivate your previous account. We’ll let you know via email or SMS if this has happened.

How can I give feedback on the recipes?

We love hearing your feedback! In fact, we use it in the recipe development process to make sure our recipes are always to your liking. Each week, we send an email asking you to rate your recipes from the previous week. The email will link you to our website where you can give each recipe a score and provide any additional feedback. Alternatively, you can rate your recipes through the HelloFresh app.
