Do you offer one off orders?

Unfortunately, we don’t have an option for one-off orders. However, we are a flexible subscription service, and you can skip weeks and deactivate your subscription at any time if you aren’t ready to receive a delivery every week.

Alternatively, you can change the frequency you receive your boxes, if you don't want a box every week:

Change The Frequency Of My Deliveries

Just make sure any changes are made to your order by the deadline, which is 11:59 PM five days prior to your delivery.

Do you offer boxes for one?

Whilst we don't have a box specifically designed for one person, lots of our customers are single-person households and find it works perfectly with their lifestyle.


You could invite friends over for a delicious home-cooked meal, tuck into any remaining food later in the week, or even better, pack a portion for lunch the following day.

How do I remove one of my saved recipes?
Cleaning out your digital pantry? No problem! Just tap the Bookmark icon to view your recipes, select the one you’d like to remove, and tap the Trash bin icon. Don't worry, if you change your mind later, you can always re-import it!
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.

What if I'm not home for my delivery?

For most of our delivery slots, we operate a leave safe policy which means our delivery drivers will follow the delivery instructions that you have specified. All of our boxes contain insulation and ice packs to keep your ingredients fresh, just make sure you pop the ingredients in the fridge as soon as you can.

If you'd like to update your delivery instructions, please click on the button below, just make sure your changes are made by the deadline, which is 11:59 PM five days prior to your delivery. If the drop down options aren't suitable for you, please select 'other' and specify your preferred location.

Top tips for your delivery instructions:

  1. Phone numbers are not an effective delivery instruction as not all of our drivers carry mobile phones and we cannot guarantee the driver will call you.
  2. The drop zone must be accessible (no code required) and free from animals and obstructions.
  3. The driver can use their discretion to leave your box in a place they deem to be safe if your delivery instructions are not adequate.
What's in the box?

In your box, you'll receive step-by-step recipe cards, an insulated cool bag with ice packs containing all your meat, prepped veg and dairy products, and all the portioned out ingredients you need to easily create delicious dinners.


The only ingredients you need at home are some basic pantry items, which will be listed on the recipe card. You can also check which items you'll need in advance when selecting your meals.

Amazon: I have redeemed the offer, why am I still being charged a shipping fee?

You have activated your free shipping offer and it is visible in your HelloFresh wallet but you have been charged a shipping fee, this may be down to one of the below:

  1. You have selected a premium delivery fee, the Amazon Prime free shipping discount is only applicable to the standard delivery fee.

  2. You may be based in a delivery area that incurs an extra delivery fee. E.G Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man and the Scottish Highlands. The free shipping offer will apply to your standard delivery fee however, you will be charged for the premium delivery surcharge.

  3. The free shipping did not apply to your most recent order because it was already past the deadline for making changes (11:59 PM, 5 days before your next delivery). The free shipping discount will apply to your following order, so please check next weeks order to see if the discount has been applied.

Amazon: Who should I contact if I have an issue redeeming the offer?
First, verify that you are logged into Amazon and that your Prime membership is active, then attempt to redeem the offer following the steps shown in the FAQ 'How can I redeem the free shipping offer from HelloFresh with my Amazon Prime account?'.

Where can I find a list of allergens?

HelloFresh has a variety of recipes that could potentially contain an allergen. Ingredients are stored separately in order to minimise cross-contamination.

Most ingredients pass through HelloFresh to you sealed in the packages they were received in, however, there is a small chance of cross-contamination so we cannot guarantee that a recipe is free of a particular allergen.

At the moment we don't offer specific allergy preferences. We do list all of the allergens on our recipe cards, and on the website when you're selecting your recipes. We highlight specific ingredients that contain one or more of the fourteen major allergens.

We leave it to our customers to review the ingredients and determine which recipes best suit their dietary needs.

Where can I find past recipes?

To browse through our past recipes, click on the icon below and log in to see our recipe archive. If you see one that takes your fancy, click into the recipe and favourite it using the heart icon and start to build your own personalised recipe archive, all favourited recipes will save in your account under 'Favourite Recipes'.
