HelloFresh automatically re-activated my membership when I thought it was paused, with no notification until after they'd charged my card on file and shipped a week's worth of food. Never touching them again.
Home Chef proactively emails you a week ahead of time telling you what the menu is. I've forgotten to customize my meal selection once or twice, but have been happy enough with the defaults for the "carb conscious" eater profile that I never really have to.
Don't think I had any major issues with Blue Apron, except that yeah, their recipes were simplistic, and often used lots of bread, rice, and potatoes.
That's exactly the experience I saw canceling Blue Apron. You request to cancel, they acknowledge your request and say okay but with a weasel word reply. Something like 4-6 weeks later a new shipment shows up unexpectedly and they purport that they can't refund because it's been delivered.
I even tweeted at their CEO about the company's use of questionable and shady growth tactics to no avail. That is the kind of move that makes me open a credit card dispute against the company and write them off for good.
