Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you wanted to know about meal delivery services — and about how we review them.
What is the difference between a meal kit and a prepared meal service?
Meal kits deliver pre-portioned ingredients and recipe cards so you cook at home. Prepared meal services deliver fully cooked dishes you simply reheat. Kits usually cost less per serving; prepared meals save the most time.
How do you choose which services to review?
We prioritise the services our readers ask about most, new launches, and services that have changed their menus or pricing significantly. You can suggest a service through our contact page.
Do meal delivery companies pay for your reviews?
No. We buy every box we review at the regular price. Some links are affiliate links, which earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you, but they never influence our scores.
How are your star ratings calculated?
Our testers score taste, value, freshness and packaging, ease, and flexibility. Reader ratings are shown separately and come from verified site members.
Are the deals on your site still valid?
We verify each deal when we publish it and list its expiry date when one is given. Offers change quickly, so always double-check the final price at checkout.
Can I leave my own review?
Yes! Create a free account and verify your e-mail address, then rate any service or gallery image. Reviews are checked by our moderators before they appear.
Which services are best for special diets?
Browse our categories for keto, vegan, gluten-free, high-protein and other diets. Each review lists the dietary options the service supports.
How do I cancel a meal delivery subscription?
Most services let you cancel or pause from your account settings, but deadlines vary. Our reviews note how easy each service makes it and any cutoff days to watch for.
