Do it yourself

Cancel Home Chef yourself

TLDR: Open Account Settings and use Pause, which the help page says is how you cancel, and finish until the confirmation email arrives, or email support@homechef.com. Orders are final at noon Central on the Friday before delivery, and a later cancel does not refund that box.

Cancel in your account

You can sign in. The help page says the pause control is how you cancel.

  1. 01Go to homechef.com and sign in.
  2. 02Click Account in the upper right, then Account Settings.
  3. 03Use Pause at the bottom of the left-hand tabs.
  4. 04Give a reason and continue until you see the cancellation confirmation screen.

In the app, tap Account, then My Settings, then Pause My Account. The help page says this is not finished until that screen and a confirmation email.

Cancel by email

The terms say you can cancel by email.

  1. 01Email support@homechef.com.
  2. 02Give your name and the email on the account.
  3. 03Say you want to cancel your subscription.
  4. 04Keep the reply.

How to know it worked

  • The help page says the cancellation is not complete until the confirmation screen and a confirmation email.
  • Check for that email, including in spam.
  • A skip of one delivery leaves the subscription on. The terms say later weeks still bill unless you skip those too or cancel.

Watch out for

  • Orders are final at 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on the Friday before delivery. Tempo by Home Chef is final at 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on the Wednesday before delivery.
  • Cancel, pause, or skip before that deadline or you are charged for the next delivery. The terms say that delivery is not refunded.
  • Pausing or cancelling does not stop a first order, or an order that has already been processed.
  • A promotional price changes when the promotion ends. You still pay the recurring charges until you cancel.

Home Chef refunds

  • A cancel after the deadline does not refund that delivery. The terms say so directly.
  • If you are not satisfied, email support@homechef.com within seven days of delivery and ask for a credit or a refund. A full refund does not apply to orders larger than $100. The amount is their decision.
  • If you refused a delivery because you skipped, paused, or cancelled before the deadline, and you have proof such as a time-stamped email, the terms say they will process a credit or a full refund, including shipping, within 30 days of the request.

If it did not work

No confirmation email? Then it didn't happen.

Our letter comes with a receipt. This is when it is worth having us do it.

Have us cancel Home Chef

  • You cannot log in, or do not remember the email

    The notice goes to Home Chef customer service in your name and address. No login, no password.

  • You paused after the Friday deadline

    The notice dates the cancellation. The delivery already past 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time still comes. The notice is what stops the week after it.

  • No confirmation email arrived

    The help page says the cancel is unfinished without that email. The notice stands in for it, with a delivery receipt.

  • You were charged after cancelling

    The dated notice and proof of delivery are what your bank asks for when you dispute the charge.

  • You would rather not chase support

    We post and email the notice, then follow up with Home Chef until they confirm. If they never do, you get your money back.

Two minutes from you. We do the rest.

These are the real emails from one cancellation. 15 days from form to their confirmation.

Cancelling Home Chef

What people ask about Home Chef.

How do I cancel Home Chef?

Sign in, open Account Settings, and pause the account. In the app, open Account, My Settings, then Pause My Account. Or email support@homechef.com. Wait for the confirmation screen and the confirmation email. Do it before 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on Friday, or Wednesday for Tempo.

Is pause the same as cancel?

The help page says that pause is how you cancel, and you can reactivate later. It is not complete until the confirmation screen and a confirmation email. Skipping one week leaves later weeks on.

I cancelled and another box is still coming. Why?

A cancel after 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on the Friday before delivery still sends that box, and the terms say it is not refunded. Tempo locks on Wednesday at the same time. A first order, or an order already processed, is also not stopped.

Will Home Chef refund the box I already paid for?

Not when you cancel after the deadline. If you refused a box and you have proof you cancelled before the deadline, the terms say they process a credit or a full refund within 30 days. For a bad meal, email them within seven days. A full refund does not apply to orders over $100.

Can you cancel Home Chef without me logging in?

Yes. The notice goes to Home Chef in writing, so it does not depend on you reaching a cancel button inside your account. A lost password or a locked account does not stop it.

Does the letter ask them to delete my data?

Yes. It asks the company to erase the personal data it holds on you where it has no lawful reason to keep it, and to confirm in writing once it has.
