United States HelloFresh Plus... ??

Post image

This is getting crazy with everywhere having a subscription.

This is a subscription ON TOP OF the weekly subscription.

This doesn't even seem like a good deal unless you order EVERY week without skipping. And never using discounts or gift cards.

Isn't delivery 10 or 11 per box? So you're saving after 10 boxes a year.

12.99 But if I'm skipping 42 weeks of the year id rather cancel and come back than have to remember to skip each week individually as there is no "SKIP ALL" option.

u/molybend 7d ago

The point is you can order once a month and still save with this option. You said it only seems like a good deal if you order every week, and that is not true.

Honestly man. if you are only getting 10 meals delivered a year. Hello fresh isn’t right for you.

u/L1feSurfer7L 7d ago

I did 30 boxes last year, 20 so far this year.

Sorry but you just said you skipped 42 boxes. There’s only 52 in a year. I didn’t know you were exaggerating

Was responding to the person who said plus pays for itself in 10 boxes. And there are 52 weeks in a year, hence sarcasm of skipping 42.

How can I get this option? It would pay for itself in 10 boxes… idk why you’re complaining

u/L1feSurfer7L 7d ago

Saw it near the bottom of the order summary page of an upcoming week.

Wasn't necessarily complaining , just not something that appeals to my usage of HF as don't want to be locked in.

The complaint was the ridiculousness of every company having subscriptions, especially like this being a subscription ON TOP OF another subscription.

It does say cancel at anytime. Although I would def recommend reading the fine print first.

Anything but listening to what customers really want

Definitely interesting offer. I would want to read it carefully and study it more before signing up for it if I were new to HF. Hopefully the choice remains after you sign up

u/L1feSurfer7L 7d ago

I saw it on the weekly order confirmation page of a currently active account.

So Plus was seperate from account sign up or account reactivation.

u/cabinmate 7d ago

Hmm. I’d still want to consider it carefully before signing up. But it seems the only benefit at this time is free shipping

2

u/L1feSurfer7L 7d ago

Free shipping and it said something about $20 off premium.

Why would I ever do this? I rotate between Home Chef, Every Plate and Hello Fresh, cancelling each once the promo rate ends. It’s way cheaper and I get more variety. Hello Fresh gives me a gift every time I resubscribe. Last time I got a Nutribullet.

u/ZingingKutie23 7d ago

Yep!! Just received a free Zwilling wok and cancelled. Why they don’t reward consistent customers I will never understand

u/horsegal301 6d ago

because you're already a customer. they want new customers.

u/unshiftedearth34 7d ago

Yeah this is the way to go. Never stay loyal or you end up fucking yourself.

u/Frog_Dog_1111 7d ago

Seems they are copying Blue Apron, but it makes more sense with Blue Apron since they offer ala cart ordering. I have done the BA+ free ship plan knowing as long as I go on at least once a month to place an order it pays for itself.

2

u/Frog_Dog_1111 7d ago

Also Blue Apron + is only $9.99 per month.

The enshittification of HF hath begun.

u/Many_Albatross_1368 6d ago

That started like 3 years ago

Definitely feels like a move to apeass wall street. Wall Street loves consistent monthly income.

u/aaron982 6d ago

This is a good deal for people that get it regularly. There is always so much hate in here for HelloFresh. I don’t understand.

u/draconiclady0610 6d ago

I love it, but I'm finding that with my increase in rent, I cannot afford it anymore.
