      I looked at the site and could not see selections unless I registered. I cancelled after I looked at the selections and was not interested in making a purchase. I was charged $35.92. I chatted with a representative April and she told me a box would be delivered on Thursday ( she was not able to cancel it as cancellations need to happen on Saturday for a Thursday delivery , yet somehow I signed up on a Sunday?). I requested a cancellation but was told I had to receive first box. I am not happy that I am being charged for looking at what is available. I would like a refund, and I think the practice of not allowing customers to see the selections unless they are charged is dishonest.. The cost of an estimated order was clearly posted, but I have no idea where the amount $35.92 came from. Most subscriptions allow at least a 24 hour cancellation period or allow browsing and you are only charged if you make a purchase.

      A fraudulent, parasitic company preying on customers bank accounts and refusing to cancel subscriptions.Refused to cancel my subscription after the first month and charged me for nine subsequent boxes at $75 each. After several over the phone complaints and request to cancel the company continued with four more boxes and four more charges of $75 each. I received a refund for three of these boxes and then they charged me for two additional boxes, $75 each. I spoke with ******** from the ******** location of HelloFresh and she required that I provide her with screenshots of the conversation, even offering me a refund for the un ordered unopened, unused but paid for fresh boxes. I furnished the receipts of the screenshots, and the company still has continued to charge me after even applying a three box refund to my account, and assuring me my account is closed an inactive. I will need to take this up with the attorney if it continues as we are trying to purchase a new home and this is directly affecting that purchase.
