It works! Just used it 20 min ago.
Procedure:
Sign up/register (Don't select or use any discount codes when you sign up)
Select the 2 x 5 meal plan (original box or veg)
Type in your details, delivery details, payment details etc and use the code: FBODRSD
The code will turn your $110 order into $1
Once paid and processed, go ahead and cancel the subscription
Extra Hack: Apparently you can use the same CC details on a new account (ie different email address) and it will work!
$115-$125 off First Box, $20 off 2nd & $10/$20 3rd Box + $9.99 Delivery for Referees, $50-$60 Credit for Referrer.
Yup got mine approx 20 minutes after.
ok just ordered using my amex card and it came to $1
Should I cancel straight away or wait until first order has arrived?
You can cancel straight away, I did that with my previous orders but because this one is quite sus and there will be so many orders and new accounts, I suggest prob wait until your first order. But you will have to cancel before Tuesday EST.
ok thanks. My frist delivery is Saturday 17th, so when do I need to cancel by? Still Tuesday?
You should be ok to cancel before your 1st delivery. I have ordered 3 times with hello fresh and cancelled before my deliveries, so it should be fine. But this deal is 50/50 with me, they will either honour it or wont.
@k3nnis: Why is there the concern about cancelling on a Tuesday? My delivery is set for 27/11, and I've skipped the deliveries for the following two weeks. Shouldn't I be able to try it first and then decide if I want to go ahead with future orders?
you can pause future deliveries without cancelling subscription.
How do you totally cancel sub?
Account settings > Status > Cancel meal plan
Thanks OP, just signed up and ordered mine. $1 well spent. Delivery on 20/11 though, long enough for them to cancel the order. Lets hope that's not gonna happen.
Hmm seems like it got cancelled only a few mins after I ordered. At first it said scheduled in my account now it says no deliveries!
Did you cancel the subscription ?
No I did not! It says I ordered in history but in the my deliveries section - the icon changed from scheduled to no deliveries!
Edit - I see it now :) Lets hope it all goes well. I'm keen to try them out!
I just received email about 'Welcome to HelloFresh' confirming my order details and date of my first delivery. No invoice or confirmation for the delivery itself though. Fingers crossed it turns up. $1 for 4x4 is ripper! Thanks OP.
I've paused the next couple of weeks to give me time to decide if I want to continue or cancel/block on Paypal.
Best approach from previous years is to select a delivery day like Saturday or Sunday, then after it's delivered, cancel the subscription before the Tuesday/Wednesday deadline - or don't cancel if you actually appreciate the service.
If I'm remembering correctly, people who immediately cancelled were refunded, but if you acted like a honest consumer willing to give a new service a try, then you got your $110 box for $1, and then having decided that the meals were oversalted/sweet/oily/carbs and just not your thing, you decided not to continue and cancelled with no hard feelings. I'm interested to see if that's changed since the last box I had in 2016.
Not even going to bother, I hope this gets cancelled though, they're a good company and don't deserve this loss.
Stupid question are the classic meals just heat up in the microwave deal? :)
Nah, all boxes or meals are ingredients. You have to prepare and cook them yourself. You get a recipe card to follow.
ok thanks. Are they healthy ?:)
Yes, I like hello fresh. IMO, i think it's healthy for sure. I keep the recipe cards they give and shop for the ingredients myself.
If you guys want to cancel your subscription make sure you do it in the timeframe!
Tip: I suggest to cancel AFTER you got your 1st order. If you're getting your box/order after the cancel timeframe, then you still should be ok to cancel before your delivery (I have ordered 3 times with hello fresh and I have cancelled before my delivery and I still got my 3 boxes) BUT…… take this information as you will. It's your risk to cancel before the delivery as my previous 3 orders were discount orders not free like this and im 50/50 if they will honour the code.
Quote from website: As always, make sure any changes to your subscription are made on your online account by Tuesday 11:59PM AEST/AEDT (for WA, SA, NT) or by Wednesday 11:59PM AEST/AEDT (for QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC) the week prior to your next delivery. If you'd like Customer Care to make the changes on your behalf, please call us by 4pm AEST/AEDT respectively.
so if the first delivery is 21st Nov (Wed) cancel by Tuesday 20th ( to be safe) in NSW, I would imagine. Someone here said cancel the next Tuesday which is 13th?
you can cancel now it says afterwards "You'll get your last delivery on Wed, Nov 21"
Wait does the cashback through CR work? Mine came up saying $25CB.. in that case will you gain $24?
They just launched Hello Fresh in NZ where I've moved and there aren't any good deals. I got letter box dropped a coupon SAVEME - but its only $50 and not a free box or anything close. Anyone know of a code I can use that gives a decent discount over here?
I remember when they launched in Aus there was a huge push with advertising free boxes.
Everyone's saying to cancel after the first delivery but will we still get the subsequent orders delivered as well?
U get the weeks worth of food delivered in one go. What subsequent orders are you referring to?
Thank you for the clarification, I got a little confused with how the deliveries operated.
Thanks OP.
Have always been unsure on whether to try this so if they honour it, will be a trial run for me.
If not, let the unsurity continue!
I signed up for 4x4 Veg :), maybe just paranoid re cancellation, but that way i'm still paying $15, i went in to the calendar and 'skipped' the next 4 weeks after my first delivery, should give me plenty of time to cancel after first delivery :)
I picked a 1:00 - 7:30 delivery timeframe for a saturday. Do they really deliver at 1am? lol
Yep. Last order they guy rocked up at 12:55am
lol serious? :)
It’s true. I was about to jump out of bed and screaming at someone….then I realised what was happening
@VegemiteKid: oh. Damn I need to turn off my ring doorbell sensor. It's gonna make a loud sound!
I can't change it now right? the schedule?
Depends on your area. But I have had a delivery from the early hours window at about 12:30am, and 9am-6pm window around midday.
They'll text you a link for tracking so you should get an ETA that updates as they go. Once it got close, started counting down the houses till my delivery arrived so pretty spot on. (Well I only checked the day one, assuming the night ones are the same)
They'll just leave the box (and there will be a photo of your house and where they left it on the tracking link)
Anyway, you should be able to change it until Tuesday next week I think, since delivery won't be until the week after.
ok thanks
Next door neighbour had theirs stolen from their doorstep during the night after delivery, the box and the veggies were strewn around the park across the road but they kept the meat!
Can’t believe some low life people out there….
is it just for me? unable to register. the button is unclickable even if filled up all details
(edit)I cant register as well. Register button is unclickable
Entered DOB incorrectly
MM DD YYYY
If it was a legitimate deal I would sign up. But this looks like an offer that is being misused. I will pass.
I agree with you but obviously the downvoters are out in force. I was DV'd just for asking if you can get CR.
I don't think it's fair that people are ordering with no intention of being a regular customer :/
I agree with you. This is obviously my personal ethics, but this isn't a bargain or the 'sentiments' behind posting a bargain. This is exploitation.
Calm down, if they don't want to honour it they can cancel the orders. No harm, no foul.
I cancelled after 15mins and receive this message
Your plan has been canceled
You'll get your last delivery on Sun, Nov 18.
For those who have not received email confirmation from Hello Fresh, can you try to request your invoice here :
https://www.hellofresh.com.au/account-settings/order-history
I guess if you get error "Sorry, an error occurred while sending your invoice " means your order has some problem?
Perhaps, those who got email already, can you try as well?
"an error occurred while sending your invoice" - i did get an email confirmation and the order shows under order history
thanks for testing. So basically "send invoice" doesnt work in either case
The invoice option now says “contact” order still active for deliver wed 21st
same here, also account needs to be reactivated
I got same error but only got welcome email with below inside (all blank)

Order Change Cut-Off:
Says i paid a $1.00 but used prepaid CC and said $0.00 at checkout
Lets see what happens
worked out to be "0" for a family plan, woohooo :-)
Came up $0 for me.
Order Confirmed.
Went to cancel the plan.
Hellofresh: we sadly see you go, what's the reason?
Select “it's too expensive”
how do you cancel?
click the cancel button when logged into your account
$11 for a bottle of Monkey Shoulder and a weeks worth of food. What a week.
If we cancel on PayPal will the company know via their back end?
You can cancel the paypal recurring payment. This is only for future payments or if they try to take more money. They will only know if you forget to cancel your next order and they try to bill and they can't.
Cool thanks
Was just wondering as post above suggests people who don't cancel on HF site straight away got their boxes. But I thought if they knew people cancelled recurring payments they might not honour either
Just a heads up, if payment fails they will send you a box anyway and chase you for the money. It will be less hassle if you can cancel with them directly as well.
REgistration button doesn't seem to be working.
enter month first as per instructions. I did not make this same mistake…………
Excellent deal. Thanks OP. I’m still bitter about my 20 1c tote bags from last night being canceled. This had better work.
How to cancel subscription?
Is it under account->plan->cancel my meal?
Will it cancel the current delivery as well?
Thanks
They have cancelled a similar mess up before. They dgaf about screwing over costumers due to their own screw ups.
promo code wont work
Mine came up to $0 after code. I doubt that they would honor this. Oh well.
Edit: Arrgghh, they charged my Paypal the full amount despite the order total stating $0. Now I have to get my money back!
The coupon could not be added. Please try again.
The code turned my order to $0 but still I got charged
I'd be a rich man if I received a dollar every time OzBarginers took advantage of these HelloFresh coupons and then complained about how unfair it was when their order was cancelled…
My pitchfork is ready
So, in those circumstances where HelloFresh has charged $1 to 'new accounts' via the credit card provided, do they refund that if they cancel this promo?
If not, HelloFresh may very well be rich(er) on the back of all these OzB partakers.
The $1 is just a test to check the card, you will get it refunded. Yeah in sure hello fresh is going to be $232 richer with everything that was trying to take advantage of them in the first place of an obvious glitch
We got scammed.
I will report to ACCC.
They should honour this deal like Coles/Woolworths
/Sarcasm
The coupon could not be added. Please try again.
Coupon can’t be added :(
TRY AAA THAT GETS $50 OFF;
Worked for me!! Might only be new customers but just make a new email! 3 recipes for 2 people down to $19.95. Best deal so far given the $1 deal isn't working.
I bought this last week too at 50% off and still paid $30. So $20 is good.
Cheers for the post!!
Why not use a referral code - both you and referrer get $50 off. Share the love!
Maybe AAA was his referral code
got the deal. i paused the shipping for the 2 weeks after just to make sure i can cancel. good to try them out.
$1 Payment Pending authorisation - Refunded :(
Isn’t that what it’s meant to do though? As it’s only charged to ensure the card is correct
Good point, think you're right!
I was charged full amount when I was trying to find a place in the Paypal pop up to add in promo code. The HelloFresh promo code box wasn't working. But customer service have now cancelled my order.
I got charged the full amount, too. Did you contact them through chat?
I got charged the full amount as well. Anyone know what to do? Do I have to call them to cancel my order?
Yep I contacted them on the webchat and they actioned straight away. Although I didn't get the refund from Paypal notification until 2 days after.
straight away
