Melbourne is one of the best-served cities in Australia for meal kit delivery. All four major services — HelloFresh, EveryPlate, Dinnerly and Marley Spoon — deliver across metropolitan Melbourne and to most VIC regional centres. Melbourne-based fulfillment centres used by HelloFresh and EveryPlate mean particularly reliable next-day and same-week delivery windows.
Delivery typically arrives within 1–2 days of your order cutoff in Melbourne metro. Most services offer multiple delivery days per week across inner and middle-ring postcodes.

Dinnerly
From $5.99/serving · Delivers to VIC
⚠ 3.2 / 5 · 1,010 reviews on ProductReview.com.au
Dinnerly's digital-only recipe format and budget price point attract Melbourne residents looking to cut costs, but its 3.2/5 score reflects consistent service issues. If budget is your priority in Melbourne, EveryPlate at $4.44/serving is a better choice — lower price, much higher score. Owned by Marley Spoon Group.

4. Marley Spoon — Premium recipes, poor reliability

Marley Spoon
From $8.95/serving · Delivers to VIC
⚠ 3.0 / 5 · 1,324 reviews on ProductReview.com.au
Marley Spoon's chef-designed, dietitian-approved recipes are genuinely well-regarded by Melbourne's food-conscious community — but the service reliability is a consistent problem at a comparable price to HelloFresh. Cancellation complaints and missing ingredient reports are frequent. Read recent reviews carefully before subscribing.
