Chefgood automatically subscribes you for payments even when you ask to be taken off

Chefgood is a scam, i spoke with a call taker two weeks ago to come off subscription as it automatically charges and gives you the same meals the following order. they kindly gave me a credit which i used two weeks later only to find if you dont click a button ‘one time’ you go back on subscription and they send you same meals. When i rang again they said they dont have the capability to make it one time purchase. Very convenient for them you go back on subscription. Could be the other way around. And yes they are muscle chef . Wont be using this again

Hi Robert, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your frustration and understand how disappointing this experience has been.

As discussed when you previously contacted our team, your subscription was cancelled at that time. However, when placing a new order, you do need to select the One-Time Purchase option at checkout, as cancelling a previous subscription doesn't automatically make future purchases one-off orders. Please see the link on steps available on our website on how to do this - https://chefgood2.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/18090206642191-Placing-once-off-orders

We understand this may not have been clear, and we're sorry for any confusion caused. The One-Time Purchase option is available at checkout, so you can order without signing up for a subscription.

We also send email reminders before subscription payments are processed, giving customers the opportunity to make changes or cancel before being charged.

We appreciate your feedback and will pass this on to our team.

I recently went back to chef good after trying quite a few others. Dismayed with the new packaging. The plastic wrap is now vacuum sealed so food is plastic above and below. Even if I pulled it out and reheated on a plate the food is already ruined. I am assuming the food is put in the containers hot and then vacuum sealed. Otherwise the rating would be higher.

Hi Binaj,

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback and we're sorry to hear you're disappointed with our new packaging.

Our meals are vacuum sealed to help maintain their freshness and quality for longer. We understand that the new packaging may not be everyone's preference and we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us.

We'll be sure to pass your feedback on to our team for review.

Delicious meals and an excellent delivery experience

I recently switched to Chefgood, and I am really impressed with the experience so far!

First, the meals are delicious, and they make my life easier.

What really stands out is the delivery service. I can provide detailed delivery instructions and photos, receive timely SMS updates, and even track the driver's location via GPS as the delivery approaches. The midnight delivery option is another fantastic feature that makes Chefgood incredibly convenient.

I noticed some reviews mentioning issues with subscriptions, but I haven't experienced any. I was given a very clear explanation of the difference between a one-off delivery and a recurring subscription. I found the options easy to understand and the ordering process straightforward, so there were no surprises.

My only suggestion would be to introduce a larger meal option, perhaps around 450g. The current 320–330 g portions are small for someone who is physically active or looking to maintain their weight. I sometimes find myself still hungry after finishing a meal, and I'd happily pay a little extra for a more substantial portion.

Overall, I'm very happy with Chefgood. The food is delicious, the delivery experience is excellent, and the service feels genuinely well thought out. I would definitely recommend giving it a try!!!

Hi Maggie, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review.

We're so happy to hear that you've had such a positive experience since switching to Chefgood and that our meals are making your day-to-day life a little easier.

It's also wonderful to hear that you've found our delivery service so convenient, especially the tracking updates, delivery instructions and overnight delivery option. We know how important it is to have flexibility when it comes to receiving your meals, so it's great to know these features have made a difference for you.

We're also really pleased to hear that the ordering process was straightforward and that the difference between a one-time purchase and a recurring subscription was clearly explained. We always want our customers to feel confident and informed when placing an order.

We really appreciate your suggestion about introducing larger meal options, particularly around 450g. We understand that everyone's appetite and dietary needs are different and we'll be sure to pass your feedback on to our team for consideration.

Thank you again for your kind words and for giving Chefgood a try. We truly appreciate your support and hope you continue enjoying our meals.

I would not recommend ChefGood

I would not recommend ChefGood. The food is bland and disappointing, and I was caught off guard by the recurring weekly subscription. I recently discovered another order had been placed that I wasn't aware of. The subscription terms and recurring orders should be communicated much more clearly. Very frustrating experience.

Hi Mihail,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're really sorry to hear that you've been disappointed with our meals and your experience with the subscription process.

We understand that taste comes down to personal preference, and we're sorry our meals weren't to your liking. We'll be sure to pass your feedback on to our team.

Regarding subscriptions, we do offer the option to select a One-Time Purchase at checkout for customers who don't wish to receive recurring deliveries. The subscription frequency is also outlined in the order confirmation email sent as soon as an order is placed. We then send an email reminder the day before each recurring payment is processed, giving customers the opportunity to make changes, skip or cancel their subscription before being charged.

We've had a look through our system but unfortunately haven't been able to locate an account or any previous correspondence under your name. We'd really appreciate it if you could reach out to our team with your order number or the email address linked to your account so we can look into your experience further.

You can contact our friendly Customer Care team at support@chefgood.com.au, via live chat on our website, or by calling 1300 911 595.

Our team is available from 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 5pm on weekends.

We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to look into this for you.

Headaches after every dinner meal I tried.

Tried Chefgood for the first time after trying Dineamic, Macros etc. Ordered a week's worth of dinners for 2 - they were heavily processed and overcooked (pasta was al sogge instead of al dente - even after reducing the zapping time). Within an hour of every single meal, both my husband and I ended up with wicked headaches. Meals were pretty bland overall. Won't be ordering again.

Hi Mandi,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your first experience with Chefgood fell short of expectations, particularly after trying other meal delivery services.

We apologise that the meals did not meet your expectations in terms of texture, flavour and overall quality. We understand how disappointing this must have been, especially when ordering a full week's worth of dinners for two.

We're also concerned to hear that you and your husband experienced headaches after consuming the meals. We take feedback of this nature seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to investigate this further. If you're comfortable doing so, please reach out to our customer support team at support@chefgood.com.au with your order details and the meals consumed so we can escalate your concerns to our quality assurance team for review.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your feedback and apologise for the disappointing experience.

Kind regards,
The Chefgood Team

DO NOT BUY…WASTE OF MONEY

Over saturated Meta ads had me spending over $200 on my first order that was supposed to be $54. I changed a few things so fine with the price side of things BUT I selected from the extensive delivery time of between midnight and 7am on a Sunday…I had a christening and a wake all in one day. Needless to say with a $200 order in today’s financial climate and the delivery time changing 3 times since I woke up, I have missed a christening and will now miss the wake because I cannot waste $200 worth of food. Customer service is non existent despite offering the services during this time period. I truly cannot believe this is my FIRST experience with this company and I already had 3 people in my close circle waiting to see how my experience went before switching from another provider they pay MORE for. I am actually appalled. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. As at writing this I STILL don’t have my delivery 5 hours outside the delivery window that keeps changing!

Good food but delivery issues are anxiety producing

I liked the food which was why I stuck with them for so long, but how they handle deliveries and customer service completely lets them down. Once I found the email address for complaints, that is how I followed up on every issue. There is no point in calling, and forget out of hours contact.

The people responding to the emails would make a reasonable effort to respond to issues, provide compensation when food was off (occasionally broken packet or even a tiny tear could make the food go off), and follow up on when delivery instructions weren't followed.

However that is poor compensation for the anxiety the delivery service produces and the fact you may now have to shop for meals, which was what you were trying to avoid in the first place.

Who in their right mind leaves the food delivery on top of the apartments' letterboxes, ready for a passerby to steal? They only offer meal deliveries in 12 hour windows too, which meant I mostly had to opt for a night delivery, and once I had to retrieve my box when it was delivered to the neighbouring block instead.

I don't think the owners of the company get involved with these issues at all. I have become convinced that the delivery tenders have gone to the lowest bidder, without a thought about realistic schedules: that it's not that the delivery drivers can't read instructions, but that there are disincentives for doing the job properly. It's amazing that most drivers did deliver, but it's not something which should be neglected at any time. The two other meal services I ordered from previously never did a bad job with deliveries.

There is no opportunity to have a say when a particular meal needs to be substituted, and you can end up with something you don't like, can't eat or completely messes with your dietary objectives. Yet we must finalise our selections well in advance.

Another thing to note: Other people have complained about cancellation issues when they forgot to cancel an order. Whilst it's a nuisance that orders are placed well in advance, which doesn't help when plans change, this is one thing that is spelled out in their policies, so it's really on the customer there.

Hi L William,

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your experience. We truly appreciate your honesty, especially hearing that you genuinely enjoyed the food and stayed with us for a long time. That makes it even more disappointing to learn that delivery and service issues ultimately let you down.

We’re very sorry for the stress and inconvenience caused by unreliable deliveries, unsafe drop-offs, incorrect addresses, and the limited delivery windows. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand how frustrating it is to need backup meals when the whole purpose of the service is convenience.

While we’re glad our email support team was able to respond and provide compensation when needed, we recognise that this doesn’t undo the anxiety or disruption caused. Reliable delivery is a fundamental part of the experience — not an optional extra — and your feedback highlights how important it is that this is executed properly every time.

We also understand your concerns around substitutions and limited flexibility once orders are finalised. That’s valuable feedback, and we’re continuously reviewing how we can improve communication and customer control in these areas.

Thank you again for sticking with us as long as you did and for outlining your experience so thoughtfully. Feedback like this is taken seriously and helps drive meaningful improvements.

Thank you,
The Chefgood Team

Worst food service

I’ve tried a few of these services. This was the worst. Packets were broken , cracked packaging and sometime the food tasted funny. They said they would refund me but they haven’t done anything. I would definitely avoid this brand. The service I had suspended was automatically renewed without asking.

Hi Ian,

I’m really sorry for the frustration caused by the damaged meals. It looks like this likely occurred during transit, as our pick-and-pack team ensures that all items leave our facility in good condition.

We’ve raised this issue internally, and I can confirm that a refund has been processed on the 3rd of November for the meals you were unable to enjoy and this should settle back into your account within 3 -5 business days.

Regarding your account, I can see that it was paused on 17 August 2025 and set to resume on 23 September 2025. An email was sent at that time to remind you that your subscription would restart, and another notification was sent confirming the delivery scheduled for 3 October. We always send these reminders to help ensure you’re fully aware of any upcoming deliveries or changes to your account.

Thank you for your understanding, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else we can do to help.

Kind regards,
The Chefgood Team

Be sure to talk to customer service to cancel an order!

I was going to start a subscription with them and picked out a meal plan. I changed my mind and cancelled the subscription which I presumed meant the initial order too, only to get a delivery notice.
I contacted customer support to be told it’s too late to stop the delivery because the cut off for changing the menu has past!
So no I have to pay for an order that I had cancelling in plenty of time!

Awful company to deal with

Awful company to deal with, even after you cancel they will keep billing you. I cancelled as the food is gluggy and heavy, there are not many vegetables. I cancelled on line and they still sent me deliveries. Because I didn't choose the last order, as I believed my cancellation had been processed, they sent foods I dont eat like lamb and beef. If it was in the cancellation period, they could have at least repeated my last order. I had sent numerous messages via their website email and chat room with no response. I finally got through to a live person who was rude and belligerent. They are still trying to steal money from my account 3 weeks after I have cancelled. I regret ever using this company.

Extremely disappointed with our recent…


Extremely disappointed with our recent experience. We accidentally placed an order and reached out to Chefgood immediately (multiple times over several days) to cancel or adjust it, but were told there was no way to make any changes at all.

We’re interstate during the delivery window and simply wanted to prevent 20 meals from being left to spoil at our front door. For a company that promotes zero waste, the lack of flexibility or care around preventing actual food waste is really frustrating.

There was also no option to speak with someone senior, and no willingness to find a reasonable solution. It felt like once they had our payment, that was the end of the conversation. Really disappointing customer service.

do not use this company

do not use this company. they have the poorest communication out of any company i have ever used in 60 years and i do not exagerate . they have and show absolutely no care for their customers and people who rely on them for food they already paid for and therefore cannot buy any other food when they failed to deliver. time and time again it was guaranteed the delivery would arrive and time and time again they did not deliver without a word of communication. they are heartless and uncaring and i strongly recommend not to support them. this world is hard enough and i will never support such a sociopathic business model ever again. if we do- we get more and more the same.
shame on you chefgood.
you are reprehensible.
im glad to say goodbye when you finally refund my money.

After dealing with cyclone Alfred in the Gold Coast, we did not receive our scheduled delivery with zero communication about what to expect from here onwards. Complete lack of response to emails, online chats and phone calls. Very disappointing.

Do not use this company

Do not use this company, they are dishonest and scam you into a subscription without communicating this properly. The food is extremely bland and has gone downhill since they first commenced trading 2 years ago. Be aware, as you can see many people have been scammed and the customer service is unhelpful and extremely rude. I hope this review will help someone else, think twice before ordering from here.

We were told that it was my wifes fault as she paused the service for just 7 days. Bol locks i say. they as usual refused to issue a refund. Now ive blocked my card contacted the bank to try and get a refund.. Besides all of the above the food was NOT good at best. Im sure they will go broke within 12 months. their food and service and etiquette is just n ot good enough.
