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, which is 11:59 PM five days prior to your delivery.


This is so we can give our suppliers enough notice to provide us with the exact quantities we need. We try to reduce food waste as much as possible, so we need the deadline to make this happen. Click on the button below to manage all of your upcoming deliveries:

So, what is HelloFresh?

We’re a meal kit delivery service designed to make dinnertime simple and 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 entire household will love.

How does it work? 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 a few basics and you can check what you'll need when you select your meals).

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. Just make sure any changes are made before the deadline, which is 11:59 PM five days prior to your delivery.
Do you have an App?

That's right, we have an app. Get inspired in the kitchen, manage your subscription, update your meal selection or follow the step-by-step guide to make cooking even easier.

Can I see my meals and what's coming up?

Yes, of course. Click the button below and log in:

HF-FAQ-CTA-Menu

Once logged in, you'll be able to view all the meals in you box at the top of the 'My Menu' page. These meals have either been selected by you or pre-selected using your chosen menu preference. You can navigate between weeks using the arrows on both sides at the top of the page. To update your 'Menu Preference', click here and select 'Manage'.

Amazon: The free shipping offer is limited to one per customer and household. What if I need to have more than one HelloFresh subscription in the same household because of my personal situation?
Our recipe boxes have several options and can cater for 2-4 people with 3-5 recipes weekly. We think it's best to manage a subscription using one account, as there's plenty of flexibility. However, we do recognise that there can be cases where there is a genuine need to have two subscriptions in the same household. In such cases, please get in touch with the Customer Care team by clicking here and we will be happy to assist you.
How do I know my order has gone through?

Shortly after you've completed signing up to our subscription service you'll receive both a confirmation and welcome email from us.


We'll tell you what you've signed up for, the date your first delivery is scheduled and everything you need to know about managing your HelloFresh subscription! You won't be charged for your first order until the day after the deadline, which is 11:59 PM , four days prior to your delivery.
