Cancellation policy

HelloFresh bills automatically and renews until you cancel. Notice period: US: before 11:59pm PT Wed, 5 days before delivery. You can skip weeks freely; cancelling stops future boxes, no refund for already-charged boxes.

Skip individual weeks or cancel HelloFresh from your account before the weekly cut-off. HelloFresh does not offer a free trial. New-customer offers such as "10 free meals" are discounts applied to the first box rather than a free trial period, and the subscription starts charging from the first delivery.
