      I signed up for a weekly membership through home chef. I received two orders. The second order was late and I was not happy with the company based on selections available. I thought I had told the company to cancel my membership as it was not what I was looking for. Home chef Does not have any record of this cancellation. For the next two weeks and I did not receive mailboxes. So I assumed it was indeed canceled. Yesterday I received a food box with selections I would have never chosen for various reasons. I had no idea this delivery was coming as I did not make any choices. In the past I have received emails stating your order is on its way. I did not receive an email for the order received yesterday. In speaking to customer service I related the above and the rep is willing to give me a courtesy Credit of 50%. I explained that out of the five meals there are three I definitely cannot eat. I asked for a 60% credit. This was denied.

      We appreciate the feedback on this matter and apologize for any inconvenience. Per our internal policies, orders that are not skipped before our deadline of Friday at Noon CST are eligible for a courtesy Home Chef credit or refund of up to 50% of the order cost. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a 60% credit or refund for this un-skipped order due to this policy.

      - Sept. 18th, Sept. 25th, and Oct. 2nd. Total ref req$185.79 - In April of 2021 I initiated cancellation from their services. The only available option on their website at the time was to pause services for x amount of time. I proceeded to discontinue all deliveries as far as I could on their calendar provide. There was no option to discontinue all future deliveries online or terminate account completely. - I continued to send them a message through their recommended means of contact on their website. I discussed the request to terminate my account and have no more deliveries scheduled. I did not hear back from this email. _ In September of this year, right after an out of state relocation move. They claimed to have sent out a delivery and 3 following that initial one. - I proceeded to contact them and request refunds due to unauthorized charges and being ignored via their message terminal on their website in April of 2021. - They have refunded $61.93. $185.79 due to be refunded

      Hello, it appears that you were utilizing the "Skip" function rather than Pausing your account. Pausing will successfully terminate all future orders unless you decide to manually reactivate. Our team has successfully refunded a total of ****** on October 8th and October 11th. Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to **********************************.

      I signed in to Home Chef to see what they had to offer but I did not order a meal. H.C. immediately responded that they were going to send a meal box to me. I responded that I wanted to cancel any orders that they thought I had made.Today I received the meal box from Home Chef, and I do not want it. I did not open it. I will return it.To assume an order that I did not made is a travesty. To send something to me immediately before they even read my cancellation request is criminal.**************************

      I looked at their website and decided I did not want to use their service. The next week I got a text saying food was being delivered to me the following day. I never signed up for any deliveries of food and never agreed to any subscription. This is a purely fraudulent scheme.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I want to add that this business engages in very deceptive advertising and enrollment practices. 

      Sincerely,

      ***********************
