      My Home Chef deliveries are consistently wrong. This week the protein was correct, but one of the ingredients bags was wrong (we order 8 servings) and the recipe card didnt go with either of them. When I have submitted a request for help for similar issues in the past, *** never received a response or refund/credit. Something is up with this company. It will be interesting to see if I get any response to todays customer service complaint.

      I have tried to cancel my subscription with this company many time only for them to charge my card again. Their website does not give a phone number to call, just an email. By time I see the charge on my account on Friday they say it's to late to cancel. Which in rights I tried to cancel the month before. This company has poor customer service and I don't want this to happen to another customer. This company sends food to your door. The rep from the company refunded 1/2 my money and said it's a courtesy even though I will still receive the box. I will not receive said box as I moved to ******** and the box is being sent to my old address in **********.

      I was thinking about getting home meal kits. I was trying to find out about the menus and wanted to see if they would fit our diet needs that we both would like. To view the menus you must put in your payment info. After viewing I realized that it would not be a good fit. Within less than 5 minutes I wanted to cancel. I never submitted an order. I could only pause the account which I thought was sufficient. But I was charged $69 and told my box was shipped. This should not be allowed. They should let future clients view menus before putting in payment info. And if they do they should not charge you and continue without the shopper making a final submission that they want to continue, I know these businesses are legit and many people use them but the initial sign up is kind of a scam.

      Hi there, thank you for this feedback. We apologize for any confusion--to view our menu at any time you can head to homechef.com/menu. As stated during the sign up process, since we are an automatic subscription service, we charge for the first box when you enter payment and click "sign up and select meals." Should you have any additional questions, please contact our support team at ********************************** and we'd be happy to help further.

      Hi there! We apologize for any confusion. You can access our menu without purchase at homechef.com/menu. As stated in the sign up process, once you enter payment info & complete sign up for the service, you are charged for your first delivery.

      Home Chef contacted me today about an order that I did not place. I do not want their service and have no intent of paying for services not requested. Their communication appeared today, fishing for a credit card number.

      somehow I have an account on ********************** that I did not create (not sure it took info automatically from my computer) never received any notifications that I had an account or placed an order. Then my bank account goes negative because they charged my account when I never authorized this . I cancelled my account but now am out $180 . I've sent several emails no responses.

      I have been a long term customer with **********************, ordering weekly meals for over a year. Now everytime I receive a shipment it is damaged, missing ingredients, or multiple meals altogether!! They offer refunds, but I order these meals as a convenience for My family and I, but it becomes an inconvenience when I dont receive what I ordered . Can they guarantee my meals are all there, and in good condition with packaging??
