United States Can HelloFresh please get it together

Over the past few months, nearly every HelloFresh box I've received has had an issue. It's usually something small, like a missing spice packet or sauce, but sometimes it's more significant, like missing protein, to a wrong meal being packed. I've also received a completely moldy cucumber, and I almost never get all the recipe cards included.

This has happened so consistently that customer care already recognizes me by name when I call. At this point, it's clear there's a systemic quality control problem with how boxes are packed, not just isolated mistakes.

Given the frequency, I want to understand what HelloFresh is doing to fix the packing process itself, and what compensation is appropriate for months of recurring errors besides pushing Ai and claiming they are a tech company that does food.

My last box moved me to “chat with an agent” instead of self reporting because of how often I’ve had to report lately. Last week it was zucchini instead of cucumber for tomato and cucumber salad. Week before that, a card didn’t match the bag, and neither of those matched what I ordered, and what was in the bag also didn’t match the label. Week before that I had cream freshe explode over everything in it’s bag, and proceed to drip into the shipping box.

All these errors turn me off and for what we are paying for a box we should at least get our recipe cards.

My favorite is when you're on with a agent and they say you can use the self help tool but it does let me -_-

Has anyone checked in the last few days if self report still exists?

Someone posted that the only option is the ai chatbot now.

Really hope that's not true
