Courier - Awful - 1st experience not great!
Courier knocked at the door. No answer.
Gate was left unlocked for delivery.
Courier (DHL) threw the box iver the gate which exploded the other side leaving all meals ruined.
This was our first experience of Green Chef, appreciate you cannot control the Courier but definately recommend submitting a complaint.

Hi Michelle,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, this is absolutely not the standard we aim to provide. We understand how frustrating and disappointing it must be to have your delivery handled this way, especially on your first order. While the courier is a third party, we take this seriously and will raise it with the team to prevent this from happening again.
So that we can investigate this further and come to a resolution together. If you could please contact our Customer Care. Customer care team is here 7 days a week, 9:00am to 10:00pm, on 020 4538 1121.
We would be more than happy to get this sorted for you.

Don’t pay the £1 unless you want to be subscribed!
I made the mistake of not fully reading into them and their subscription, I went on just to browse at their meals and was charged £1 to get to that point , I assumed it was a holding fee, as it didn’t show in my bank account, but the £1 charge actually locks you into a subscription even without checking out an order.

looking forward to more !
My orders have arrived in their one-hour time slots , well packed and labelled . The ingredients are fresh on arrival .
When I rang with a query , I learned what I needed to know .
It is useful to be able suspend an order if you are due to be away for a few days .
The wide choice , and my current "success rate" , means I am looking forward to the future !

Forced Subscription Before Seeing the Meals
Another food box company that charges you before you’re even able to choose your meals - amazing logic!?
From my perspective, I want to see what’s on offer first, and if I like the meals, then decide whether to give it a try. I really don’t understand why so many of these companies rely on forced subscriptions instead of letting the product and customer experience speak for themselves.
I was initially interested in trying it, but after reading other customer reviews, it’s a definite no from me.

Resolved
UPDATE:
I managed to get through to customer care this evening and they have issued a refund. The customer service adviser was helpful and it was easy to do - I just think there should certainly be more warning that despite cancelling you are still signed up for an initial box, even though there is no email confirmation or otherwise. Rating revised to 3 stars from 1 star as a result.
INITIAL REVIEW:
I signed up to Green Chef, but immediately realised that there would not be enough option that my children would happily eat. I cancelled immediately as a consequence and my account showed no future orders. There was no email confirmation of an order or otherwise. I checked extensively at the time on my account as I didn't want to be caught out. Green Chef have now charged me for my first box and I cannot connect to customer services. The meals they are sending are not ones I would have ever chosen. This service is a scam.

Hi Victoria,
I’m really sorry for the confusion and frustration this has caused. I understand how concerning it is to be charged for a box you didn’t expect, especially when you believed your account was already cancelled. This isn’t the experience we want for you. Please allow us to look into this further and help resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Hi Cate,
I’m really sorry to hear this, especially after giving us another try. I understand how frustrating it is to find the green beans in poor condition right when you’re about to prepare your meal. While the refund has been processed, I know it doesn’t help in the moment, and I truly apologize for the inconvenience. Your feedback is important, and we’ll make sure to share this with our team to help improve the quality moving forward and we sincerely apologise for that.

The quality of the ingredienst is excellent, especially the fish, prawns and chicken, Well packaged and fresh, generous portions , On the minus side, I don't like having my meals chosen for me when I forgot to do an order or skip a week, Some of the recipes can have too many ingredients and can be time consuming.

I was curious, unfortunately curiosity means having to give you card details. I cancelled straight away.

Please please please avoid!!! Never trust an advert from instagram or YouTube! Greenchef are scammers
They advertised a rock bottom starting price for the first box of £9.99 plus delivery yet they’ve scammed £43 from my account which I definitely didn’t sign up for! I’ve requested a refund but judging by other reviews I’m not going to get one, I’m waiting another 6 days to dispute that payment through my bank and then I’ll have to wait 6 weeks for it back
