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.

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

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

HF-FAQ-CTA-DeliveryInstructions


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.
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.

Can I send vouchers to my friends and family?

We offer two referral schemes for new customers to use towards their first HelloFresh box.

From time to time, you'll have the opportunity to give a free HelloFresh box to a friend or family member and you'll always have the option to send them a discount voucher. If they use your discount voucher, you will get rewarded with some HelloFresh credit, it's a win-win.

HF-FAQ-CTA-ShareHF

Don't forget, we are a weekly subscription service, so when your friends and family redeem their voucher, they will continue recieving weekly deliveries after their first free or discounted box, unless they skip or cancel their subscription before the deadline, which is 11:59 PM five days prior to their delivery.

Has my voucher applied?

Firstly, it’s always good to double check your offer to see if it’s for existing or new customers. Are you a first time customer or have you set up a subscription with us before? A lot of our vouchers apply to first time customers only.

Pre sign up:

When you are at the checkout, you'll see a green notification bar at the top of the page, confirming your voucher has been applied. You can also check your order total on the right hand side to verify a discount has been applied to the amount due.

Existing customer:

Click on the button below to head to your account settings where you can check if your voucher has been succesfully applied.

HF-FAQ-CTA-AccountSettings

I have a voucher code, why are you charging me £1?

Initially £1 will be taken from your account to authorise the payment details. This is to validate that the card is correct and for us to process an order for you. The payment will be refunded back to you within 3-5 working days.

This applies to all of our orders (even free boxes) so that we can ensure we have current payment details in place for people who are starting an ongoing subscription.

My voucher code isn't working

Firstly, make sure you've read the T&Cs on the specific voucher you have received. Are you a first time customer or have you set up a subscription with us before? A lot of our vouchers apply to first time customers only.

We would also recommend some basic troubleshooting. If you can, use Google Chrome as your browser and try again using an incognito window.

If you're trying to use an Add-on voucher, these will apply automatically to your account if you click on the link provided. You can choose whichever Add-on takes your fancy, the discount will apply immediately and be visible at checkout.

If you’re still having trouble, please get in touch with us and we can apply your voucher code for you.

HF-FAQ-CTA-ChatWithUs

Do you offer vegetarian/vegan options?

When you're placing your first order you can select a veggie preference or if you are already a customer you can change your preference to include veggie recipes.

Click on the button below to change your preference.

HF-FAQ-CTA-Preference

We offer a range of veggie recipes which vary each week and we don't guarantee vegan options. Recipes are available on the website up to four weeks in advance so it’s worth taking a look and making your choices in the weeks prior to your delivery.

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.
