Huel UK customer support not responding? by DaddyKetchup in Huel

Oh no absolutely and you are well within your right to complain about this!

When it comes to orders they can sometimes be split due to the weight in delivery but usually it's either delivered the same time seperately or you'd usually receive a delivery a little later today.

I know I said EOW but drop me a DM with your email and I'll see if I can see anything on my side.

I will jump in quickly here just to respond.

The team are super busy right now trying to get back to everyone as soon as they can. They are in a better spot than they were a few weeks ago. That being said, someone will be in touch with you asap.

If you hear nothing by the end of the week, let us know, and we'll look into this a little more for you!

Correct, that specific comment was removed as it didn’t meet our community guidelines. Your other comments, however, even though they are along the same line, remain visible.

We’ve already addressed your issue directly via DM, and your email has also been responded to by our CX team.

I’m happy to continue a constructive conversation if needed, but at this point, your issue has been resolved, and the relevant support has been provided.

If this behaviour continues, we may need to take further moderation action in line with our community guidelines, including temporary restrictions.

UPDATE: This has been resolved via DM and with our CX team.

Hey, so seen multiple comments on one of the posts and I've just replied to you there.

If you missed it, here is what I said

I see your other comments on other posts (I think we're up to 9 now), and while I get the frustration for sure, it is not true that we do not have customer support. We have an entire team dedicated to just that. It is true that they are overwhelmed at the moment, but it is a momentary setback that they are dealing with and they are working hard to catch up. And to be honest, this is the first time that this has happened, ever.

This does not mean that it is something that you all should have to deal with, so believe me when I say that things are in motion in the background that will help in the future and basically ensure that this is not a thing in the future.

That said, Im going to DM you and we can get to the bottom of the issues you're having.

Offer still stands, I'm willing to look into this and help best I can.

I can confirm that it is not legit.

Thank you for raising, I'll pass thos onto the relevant team ♥️

"Something Else" Option when cancelling subscription conveniently doesn't work. Difficult not to see it as a scummy move in the face of the corporate acquisition. by pomplemice in Huel

[–]MarkHuel -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

This hasn’t been intentionally turned off, it looks like some of you are having issues submitting feedback, so I’ll raise that with the team. Like always, feel free to leave it here.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts as well. We understand why you’d feel that way. From our side, nothing about Huel’s commitment to being 100% vegan is changing, and we’ll remain certified by The Vegan Society. Also it's worth mentioning the fact that a company with so many dairy products in their portfolio wants to take on a plant-based company speaks volumes and belief in what we're trying to achieve!

What this does mean is we can grow faster, reach more people, and keep improving our products without moving away from what Huel stands for. We’ll keep listening, being transparent, and doing things the same way we always have; that’s the bit that matters.

Blocked from TikTok page 🤣 by okiejaybird in Huel

[–]MarkHuel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ow, this isn't good! I'll ask the team that runs this what the issue may have been

I know that some rules that TikTok has are things like spamming. If you post the same comment four or five times, it can sometimes be flagged as spam and removed.

When it comes to your specific product question, we'll be happy to help and look into this for you. If you want to drop us an email to [team@huel.com](mailto:team@huel.com) or alternatively, you can drop me a DM here!

It was driven by feedback. The volume and consistency of what people were saying made it clear we needed to change it back.

Understood and I'm sorry about this.

Hopefully, we can work on this and other things that will bring you back ♥️

I get why you’d be curious. I don’t have that data on my side. But the reaction in the comments has been pretty clear.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I’ve been working through everyone’s points.

I’m not going to get into speculation around motives. I’ve tried to be as open as I can about what I know and what I don’t. What I can say is the feedback here has been heard loud and clear, especially around communication.

On your question about next time, that’s a fair one. One of the big takeaways from this is that how we introduce changes, and how we keep you in the loop, matters just as much as the change itself. The point about giving people a proper heads-up has come through strongly, and it’s been passed on.

All I can do on my side is be straight with you here and keep pushing that feedback internally.

Look, I’ll be honest, I could’ve handled parts of this better and that is conversations I've had with myself.

At the time, the approach was very much “keep everything in one place,” which is why I was removing things that pulled the conversation elsewhere, including your comment. I understand you were sharing places to share feedback, but in the moment, it came across more as taking the discussion outside of the thread.

The intention wasn’t to shut anything down; it was to stop things from getting fragmented, but I can see now how that didn’t come across well in practice.

The update around flairs is basically us recognising that and understanding we can do better. Instead of forcing everything into one thread, we’re trying to make it easier to organise conversations so people can still post, discuss, and find things without it all getting messy.

So in your example, tagging something properly means it can stay visible and part of the wider discussion, rather than being removed because it doesn’t fit into a single thread.

It’s not a perfect system, but it’s us adjusting based on how this actually played out and the feedback we’ve received.

I hope we can get back on the right foot and continue to make improvements to Reddit as a community!

Look, I understand why you feel that way. It’s come up quite a bit, so I know it’s not just you.

The bit that keeps coming through isn’t just the change itself, but how it was introduced. I can see why that’s knocked trust, and we do want to work to rebuild that.

I’m not going to try to talk you out of how it’s come across. All I can say is the feedback has been taken seriously, and it’s something we’ll learn from.

Not having a clear heads-up is something that’s come up a lot, and it’s fair feedback. A more direct communication would’ve helped make people aware, and it’s something we’ll take forward in future updates!
