Common issues
HelloFresh keeps showing me 'Pause' instead of 'Cancel'.
This is deliberate. Scroll past all the pause/skip options to find the 'Cancel Plan' link at the very bottom of the Plan Settings page.
I missed the Friday cutoff — will I be charged?
Yes. If you miss the cutoff, the next box is locked in. You can contact HelloFresh support to try to stop it, but it's not guaranteed once the order is processing.
