Read MoreFrequently Asked Questions
How do meal kits get delivered?
Meal kits are always sent in chilled boxes. These boxes have any cupboard/vegetable ingredients stored in the box, whilst any meat or dairy is stored in a cold bag with an ice block. This storage method ensures each delivery can last safely for at least 12 hours after being delivered. As a result, it’s perfectly safe to have your box delivered whilst you’re at work and pick it up when you get home in the evening.
Are meal kits good value for money?
This really depends on your priorities and how you measure ‘value’ to you. From a purely monetary standpoint, it’s clear that Meal Kits are going to be more expensive than picking up the ingredients from you local supermarket. However, it’s also important to consider how you value the convenience of Meal Kits being delivered to your front door, bringing variation to your weekly meals, having pre-portioned ingredients and reducing your food waste.
We conducted a full cost analysis to see which meal kit was cheapest, so it’s worth checking that out to help inform your decision.
Can I cancel my meal kit after my first order?
Yes, absolutely. All meal kits in Australia have what’s called a ‘rolling subscription’ which means you can cancel at any time. This means you can get just one box to try out the Meal Kit and see if you like it. You'll need to remember to cancel your subscription at least 7-8 days before your next delivery is due.
