Gousto recipe box delivery

✓ Legitimate charge

GOUSTO on your bank statement is a weekly charge for a Gousto recipe box. Gousto is one of the UK's leading meal kit subscription services — they send you pre-portioned, fresh ingredients along with recipe cards so you can cook restaurant-quality meals at home without the shopping.

Gousto charges are taken on a weekly basis, typically a few days before your delivery. The cost depends on your box size (2, 3, or 4 recipes per week) and the number of portions. Gousto frequently runs introductory offers — you might have signed up for a heavily discounted first box, and subsequent boxes are charged at the standard rate.

The critical cutoff for Gousto is Thursday midnight each week — if you don't skip or cancel before then, you'll be charged for the following week's box. Many unexpected Gousto charges are from people who forgot to skip a week.

Questions about Gousto charges

Can I get a refund from Gousto?
If you were charged for a box you forgot to skip, contact Gousto customer support — they may offer a credit or refund if the box hasn't yet been prepared or dispatched. Once a box is in delivery, refunds are more difficult. Gousto has a credit system that can be applied to future orders. If a box arrived with missing or poor quality ingredients, contact them for a replacement or credit.
Why is my Gousto charge more than last time?
Gousto adjusts box prices based on the recipes selected — premium recipes (marked with a gold "P") cost more than standard ones. The price also varies depending on how many portions you order and any delivery fees. Log into Gousto and review your upcoming box contents to see why the price changed.
How do I cancel Gousto permanently?
Log into gousto.co.uk, go to Account Settings, scroll down to Subscription, and click Cancel Subscription. Gousto may try to offer you a pause or discount — you can decline these. You'll need to confirm the cancellation, after which no further boxes will be sent or charged. Cancel before Thursday midnight to avoid the following week's charge.
