ReviewTerminal Summary

HelloFresh receives a 3.0/5 average rating reflecting significant operational inconsistencies; while customers consistently praise meal quality and convenience, frequent delivery failures, missing ingredients, and billing issues create widespread frustration that undermines the core service promise.

What customers love

  • Food quality, taste, and recipe variety when items arrive as ordered
  • Convenience of meal delivery and reduced food waste compared to traditional grocery shopping
  • Flexibility to pause service and easy-to-follow recipe cards

Common concerns

  • Delivery failures including late arrivals, wrong addresses, spoiled food from defrosted ice packs, and missing ingredients or meals
  • Quality control and packing issues such as damaged packaging, leaking proteins, missing recipe cards, and subpar produce freshness
  • Billing problems including unauthorized charges, unapplied promotional credits, and difficulty obtaining refunds rather than account credits
  • Customer service unresponsiveness and inability to resolve issues satisfactorily

1st delivery perfect

1st delivery perfect, 2nd delivery almost all food room temp by time it was delivered a day late, 3rd delivery the cooling packet had busted and leaked all over the paperwork, recipe cards and brown paper bags. Very messy to clean up and salvage. Produce and meat are fresh so far but only 1 out of 3 deliveries have arrived undamaged.

The timing required for each meals is inaccurate and actually requires almost double what the recipe says. Fairly good food but too many ingredients and time required for busy families

Issues with quality control

I have had issues in the last few months with missing ingredients, missing recipe cards, and wrong meals sent. The quality control seems to be wavering from when I started using this service.

First order was late

First order was late. Customer service said nothing they could do. After speaking to a service manager I received my food the following day with a discount coupon. ☺️

Dinners are good when the food arrives in acceptable condition

Dislike receiving proteins that are leaking or otherwise not fully sealed. Carrots are rubbery about 40% of the time. Approximately 70% of the time I do not get all my recipe cards and have to look up the recipe on my phone.

I'd like you to be more careful

I'd like you to be more careful when packing—this is the second time something has been missing, and it's very frustrating.

1/3 meals i did not like- wasn’t sure if i was going to like any but was surprised with how easy it was to make and try a new dish full of flavor which seems to be a healthy way of eating as long as i follow my own vegan diet restrictions.

Lack of variety of meals

Lack of variety of meals. Often same ingredients are repurposed with different names. Also quality of meat has not been great.

Have been using a new delivery company lately so it arrives super late. Also have had issues with protein being broken/unusable or missing items from recipes (ex - chicken Parmesan recipe came with potatoes but no breadcrumbs. there are no potatoes in the recipe tho??)

No pride in packing

My first couple boxes were amazing. Since then, I have missing meals, recipes hung up in the box tape or just damaged, meal bags busted open (or not properly sealed), etc. Quite messy actually. I don’t even refer people anymore. This is why I stopp d subscribing before. Sad.
