How do I make changes to my recurring Foodbox order?

  • Remove items by making their quantity “0”, or by clicking remove.

    Do I have to make changes to my Foodbox?

    No. If you're happy with the contents of your Foodbox or of the base Foodbox you have chosen from our Boxes, you don't need to change anything.

    Up until when can I make changes to my Foodbox?

    Customisation to orders is available on subscriptions, any customisations to a Box you're ordering are to be made before 4 pm, the afternoon before your delivery day.

    Eg. Your delivery day is Sunday, so finish any customisations to your Box order before 4 pm on Saturday afternoon.

    How do I make changes to only my next order?
  • Log into your Foodbox account and click into your account profile via the icon in the top right corner.
  • Under the Subscriptions tab, click Next Order
  • Add items by searching for what you’d like to add in the “Add to next order” box to the right
  • To manage anything else, click on Manage Next Order
  • Remove items by making their quantity “0”, or by clicking Remove.

  • Once saved, your next Foodbox delivery contents will be updated for that order only.

    Will the price of my Foodbox change?

    We change our Foodboxes based on seasonal availability. The price will be as displayed and if you do not make any changes to the box, the price will stay the same. The price will only change if you add or remove items from your Foodbox. Once you make any changes the price of your Foodbox will adjust.

    Please note if you subscribe to the box, the price may fluctuate a few dollars either way from week to week, due to produce price fluctuations, but we do our best to keep it as similar as possible.

    Can I customise the items in my one-off purchase after I place the order?

    One-off orders are locked in when the order is placed, so they are not customisable. But a reminder you can order right up until 4 pm the afternoon before your selected delivery day, so if you’re not 100% on what you need in your order just make your order closer to that cut-off time.

    E.g. if you would like your items to arrive on a Wednesday, you can place orders right up until Tuesday, 4 pm.
