I’ve been using Home Chef almost every week for the last 11 months. Over the summer, I had a shipment arrive a day late. The ice packs had melted and none of the food was cold. I called their customer support and they issued a refund for the entire box. One other time, I ordered several meals and the protein for one of them was missing. They refunded the cost of that whole meal. Overall, they rarely have issues with missing ingredients. More often, they forget to include the recipe card, but the recipes are all available online. I think every meal delivery service is going to have some hiccups.

We've done Blue Apron, Hello Fresh and Marley Spoon. All in all, I like Blue Apron best -- good ingredients, reasonable prep times. I think they can all get a little repetitive though so we switch occasionally.

Why did you disappoint me Home Chef???? Meals weee easy, tasty and I usually had leftovers. But this week’s delivery was late and all the produce and seafood was leaking or opened! So disappointed!! Any recs for reliable and tasty home meal delivery kits?
