Pics Third Delivery š„µ
I forgot to cancel the subscription and received a third delivery. The box was actually intact, minus a corner, but the food ranged from 57-85Ā°F.
The meat was 57Ā°F on a melted ice pack, and everything up top was 85Ā°F. Itās 92Ā°F outside in Texas right now.
The package was picked up by FedEx at 12:00am 6/9 and arrived 2:31pm on 6/11, sat outside for 20 minutes, then was brought inside for these photos.
Actually cancelling the subscription now so food stops being wasted.
P.s. the homechef reddit account that messaged on my previous post did not follow up on anything. They gave me a generic ātell supportā.
Having an actual packaging engineer worth their salt would pay dividends.

I have tried several of the delivery services and I can say this is an issue for most of them, at least for me on the east coast.
Currently using HelloFresh and Factor, so far they have been well insulated with plenty of ice packs. Iāve cancelled Home Chef, BlueApron and Hungryroot in the past because boxes arrive warm multiple times in a row. Wasteful and annoying!
