First Food Box Delivered Free - EG 4x People 5x Meals Classic Box Worth $189.95 @ HelloFresh (New Customers)(Excludes WA/NT/TAS)

HFR6A06HFR6B06HFR6C06HFR6D06HFR6E06

Recently I took advantage of the Cash Rewards Offer for NEW CUSTOMERS to Hello Fresh and Thought that was pretty amazing ($85 off the total cost).

However since getting my box I got a generic code for NEW CUSTOMERS ONLY which is used in the check out to discount your order by 100%. This works for any combination of Classic, Veggie or Family Box.

Bonus is that you can choose different options depending on what box you want.

Classic - 2/4 people, 3/5 meals
Veggie - 2/4 people, 3 meals
Family - 4 people, 4 meals

Best combination being for 4 people and 5 meals on the Classic Box for $0 delivered (usually $189.95)

Remember to Cancel it straight away if you dont wish to have it every week as its a subscription service which will to continue to deliver to you unless you tell it otherwise!

Changes to your account (meaning ordering or cancellations) need to be done before Wednesday 11:59PM (Sydney time) the week prior to your next delivery. Users should cancel or downgrade their box after they've ordered as they prefer. You can deactivate after you have made your order by clicking on your account and settings. Click deactivate immediately as the 1st order will still be delivered, just nothing subsequently after this.

Happy Eating!

** Havent tried the cashrewards discount in conjunction but doubt you would get the rebate on $0
** Only valid with Households first Box
*** Subject to you living in an area that they deliver to
**** I got given multiple cards to give to friends but they all have the same code - not sure how many order will get through but hopefully its unlimited!

Where do you deliver?

We deliver to most suburbs in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and in Albury, Bendigo, Ballarat, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast Cairns, Townsville and the Southern Highlands.

  • website freezes after clicking "Place your order"

    NVM, it is just slow, ordered!

    Waiting to be cancelled like last time.

  • done :)

    thank you !

  • I tried the trial veggie box and none of the promo code works.. Do I need to sign in?

    • Select one of the meal plans, not a trial box.

  • No delivery in Tas either, OP.

  • +1

    Thanks for the codes. I've been wanting to try these boxes for awhile and this is a great deal (possibly too good to be true). Will see how the box goes and might end up reactivated subscription if they are good value.

    • +3

      Awesome glad to be of help. Despite peoples reviews i actually really enjoyed at least one of the meals that much that it is now part of my weekly cycle of things to cook for dinner!

    • Looks like it was too good to be true. Just received this email:

      Unfortunately we have been experiencing technical issues with one of our voucher codes. It appears your account has been created using this faulty code.

      At this stage, your account has been cancelled and you will not receive any orders from HelloFresh. We have removed your details from our system, and any payments taken have been refunded.

      If you received this code as a referral from a friend - sit tight. You will receive a replacement code shortly. You can then place a new order to commence a valid subscription with us. We apologise for the inconvenience this causes.

    Some sales manager didn't think this one through… they're going to have one busy Wednesday afternoon.

    • +7

      Yeah, in the centrelink line

  • Ordered good one.
    Fingers crossed.

  • Woot. Signed up. Lets see if they acknowledge the deal for $1.
    I already have a Scoopon with these guys that I haven't used so will try that in the new year.
    Cheers OP.

    • +1

      The $1 is preauthorisation and will get refunded. Mine did from this same code a couple of weeks ago.

      • Did you get your box?

        • +1

          Yes. A friend gave me this code and I didn't realise it wasn't unique. We had a classic box for 5 meals.
          Honestly, they were quick and easy enough but we really didn't enjoy the food itself as we found it bland. Also the delivery said it would be from 4pm to 8pm and this was confirmed multiple times by emails/text but they delivered it at 12pm to the un-airconditioned lobby of our block on a hot day, so by the time I got home it was warm. I got food poisoning from the fish (serves me right for eating it).

  • Awesome!!! Working for me, cancelled straight away, charged $1.00 to my PayPal account but will refund. They say it's for verification.

    Thanks for the heads up on this one.

    • +6

      I would not cancel right away, cancel on Monday when you get the box. You have up to next week Wednesday to cancel for the following Monday. You have just flagged you are not a genuine customer.

  • Received their cancellation email.
    A quick note to thank you for giving HelloFresh a go and also that we're sorry to see that you’ve decided to deactivate your Classic Box Classic - 5 meals per week for 4 persons.
    Your last delivery

    Your deactivation has been processed immediately. After your final delivery on 19 Dec 2016 you will receive no further deliveries.

    Thank you very much and hopefully we’ll be feeding you again soon!

  • "1 hour 2 min ago www.hellofresh.com.au (2116 clicks)"

    I guess they have already received over 2000 orders in the past 1 hour. As the experience that happens 2 years before, I think they will cancel all orders.

    • I hear you, but the fact is they're using a generic code. It isn't even targeted. Not sure how they can argue that one..

  • It says
    After your first charge, your weekly subscription can be modified, paused or cancelled.
    Your regular deliveries will be charged on a weekly basis.

    Does that mean I have to atleast pay for one delivery?

    • No. Just go to subscription and select cancel. You then pick your next delivery (final delivery) for next Tuesday. Once you cancel, they mention that after your last delivery you will no longer be charged. So net result is you pay $1 only for the 1 delivery.

    • No, You can cancel immediately. You can also cancel from PayPal to be sure nothing is taken out. Make sure you get your $1 back though

        How to cancel From PayPal

        Edit : Just read the following comment.

  • +8

    To avoid future surprises from Hello Fresh, make sure you cancel recurring payment if you paid via Paypal. Here are the steps.

    Log in to your PayPal account.
    Click the Settings icon next to "Log out."
    Click Preapproved payments.
    Click Cancel Enhanced Recurring Payments.

    • I would would use credit card, easy to dispute payment.

    • Thanks Mate, that's something new to me!

    • Are they aware of you cancelling?

      • I think they won't. Even if they do it doesn't matter because you have also cancelled their subscription.

        • I havnt cancelled my subscription yet il wait untill i get my order next week

    • Good tip, thanks for this.
      Also cancelled Strava which I had forgotten about!

    • Thank you

  • +10

    If there is only a small amount of orders I guess they will honour it, if there are thousands of "activate-deactivate" orders…Good luck.

      I once worked for a shop when I was in the uni and they wanted new recruits from time to time. With a good will I gave their number to my new neighbour who was also an uni student then, seeking a casual job. However, before he phoned the shop he called all his friends, giving them this number and encourage them to phone the shop…In the end none of them got the job.

      • +1

        Oh gosh I hate that. It's also like when I invite a friend somewhere as my +1 and they bring their own!

  • Cancelled but didn't receive an email. Wonder what's happening

  • +2

    Will get cancelled for sure, they'll say the cards weren't meant for multiple usages.

    From the T&Cs;
    "A Voucher may only be used once by its Holder and may not be copied, reproduced, distributed, resold or published either directly or indirectly in any form or stored in a data retrieval system without our prior written approval. A Voucher is only valid on a household's first box."

    • This was included in my order box and there were 5 cards in there alone with the same code. No such mention of the above T&Cs anywhere to be seen on the card apart from the mention of one per household.

    • Used once by the person using it (not the person giving it out). They do this themselves all the time by handing out cards with the same code on them.

    This is wrong on so many levels. Please bear in mind those guys are trying to run a legitimate business, probably established from their valuable savings.

    Yes, what you are doing may be legal, but it's totally unethical.

    • +1

      You may have skipped the class on "Customer Acquisition Cost" It is possible that some people may reactivate their subscription after receiving the box. Dont be so quick to judge.

      • +2

        Please, I beg to differ. Just a quick glance across these two pages will tell you a different story.

    • +1

      probably established from their valuable savings

      Correction: They are a multinational valued at billions who have raised capital to get to where they are.

      • +8

        Oh my bad. Please go ahead and rip them off. :/

    • Hmm.. What about credit card companies offering interest free balance transfers? If you repay everything before the end date you've ripped them off?

      • That's a false analogy. Don't argue just for the sake of it.

        • Why is it a false analogy? They give you a sweetener in the hope that you don't pay it off in time and have to pay them exorbitant interests. There's a reason why most credit card statements don't contain the date that the interest free period ends. They do everything they can to make you pay them interests. It's a business tactic. Is that ethical to you?

    • hello fresh are far from "legitimate"

  • How may ppl did get their box from this deal??

    • I know I didn't…

      For the same reason, I am not giving this post an upvote yet.

    • I was wondering why I had an account already, must have been that deal.
      I never received mine either.

    Have fun with that.

    In 2016, HelloFresh received negative attention in the Dutch language press for aggressive marketing and difficulty to cancel subscriptions.

      That is why you use a credit card, print off the cancellation form and send it to your credit card company. Watch them do the magic :)

      • A workmate had issues cancelling HelloFresh - they missed her last delivery, so they arranged another one. Unfortunately this then re-activated her account, and another unordered delivery came and funds came off the credit card.

        Did a chargeback but took months and bank had to cancel the credit card for some reason.

        Is a bit easier to preemptively cancel in PayPal.

  • highly doubt it'll get honored but worth a shot, thanks op

  • This will be fun, ordered and cancelled lol.

  • Expired? Codes don't work!! :(

    • HFR6E05 literally just worked for me.

  • I don't understand. If you get a 100% discount for 5 weeks of food, why do i cancel for just the first shipment?

    • It's 1 shipment. Which is weekly.

      • +2

        Oh. Thanks. $190 for just one shipment. Wow that's expensive.

    • You get a box with ingredients for 5 meals.

      Edit: Ugh, ninja'd.

  • +11

    ….all this food should fit nicely into the $0.07 david jones dufflebag you all bought last week… :D

  • Is this multiple use?

  • We've popped out for a bit

  • +1

    Codes aside, at full price is this not obscenely expensive ?

    • +1

      Not wrong, 4 pack of baked beans and loaf of bread for $4 sounds more delicious to me

    • Yes, yes it is. The price of "convenience" they'll say.

  • In my experience they will spam call you for a long time after you cancel

    • Just change your details after the first order

  • +1

    It says codes are invalid now.

    • +1

      Yep, all codes invalid. Too much snoozing for me…

    code does not work

  • Just tried to order the Classic Box (5 meals, 4 people) using each of the 5 listed codes under 'Got a promo code?'. I'm told 'This voucher is invalid'. Am I doing something wrong, or is the deal expired, withdrawn?

    • Ozbargained and expired would be my guess

  • change the numbers and letters around… still working

  • Used these guys before and each time they came with missing items and food that spoiled before I even got to cook them.

    Terrible experience. Also once the trial is over, the convenience is not worth the cost.
