What is "BLUE APRON" on my bank statement?
Blue Apron is a legitimate meal kit subscription charge for delivered ingredients and recipes.
Merchant: Blue Apron | Category: Food Delivery
What Is This Charge?
A charge from Blue Apron reflects a purchase at Blue Apron, the meal kit subscription company founded in 2012 that delivers pre-portioned ingredients and recipe cards to customers in the United States. Blue Apron is not a retail store with physical checkout lanes, and its business is built around recurring food subscriptions and one-time meal kit orders. The charge usually appears when a subscription renews, when a new box ships, or when an add-on item is billed.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears because you placed an order, kept an active subscription, or allowed a free trial to convert into a paid plan. It can also appear when Blue Apron bills for a weekly shipment, a skipped week that was not canceled in time, or an add-on such as premium proteins or extra meals. If you shared an account with a spouse, roommate, or family member, their order can also create the charge.
Typical Charge Amounts
Blue Apron meal kit charges commonly fall between $49.95 and $109.87 per box, depending on the number of servings and recipes selected. Introductory offers can lower the first box to about $29.99 to $39.99, while larger family plans can exceed $120.00 before discounts. Some customers also see a temporary authorization hold of $1.00 or a pending card verification charge before the final bill posts. Shipping fees, taxes, and add-ons can increase the total by $7.99 to $19.99.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
A Blue Apron charge is usually legitimate if you recently signed up for meal kits, accepted a renewal, or received a shipping confirmation email. Check your Blue Apron account at https://www.blueapron.com and review the billing history, upcoming deliveries, and cancellation status. You can also search your inbox for order confirmations from Blue Apron and compare the billed amount to the plan shown in your account. If the charge is unfamiliar, call Blue Apron customer support at 888-278-4349 and ask for the order date, shipment address, and last four digits of the card used.
How to Dispute or Cancel
1. Log in to your Blue Apron account at https://www.blueapron.com and open the subscription or billing page. 2. Cancel before the weekly cutoff shown in your account, because meal kit orders are often processed before the delivery date and may not be refundable after processing. 3. Call 888-278-4349 if you need help confirming the order, stopping future shipments, or checking whether a box already shipped. 4. If the charge is unauthorized, contact your bank or card issuer right away and file a card dispute while you also request cancellation from Blue Apron.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Blue Apron charge show as BLUE APRON*?
BLUE APRON* is a normal card descriptor for a Blue Apron meal kit subscription or shipment. The asterisk often appears when the processor adds a billing marker, and the charge can still be tied to a weekly box, add-on item, or renewal. Check your Blue Apron account and email receipts to match the amount and delivery date.
How do I cancel my Blue Apron subscription?
To cancel Blue Apron, sign in at https://www.blueapron.com, open your subscription settings, and stop future deliveries before the weekly cutoff time. You can also call 888-278-4349 for help with cancellation. If a box already processed, Blue Apron may not refund it, so cancel before the next billing cycle.
Why is my Blue Apron charge a different amount than expected?
Blue Apron charges can differ because the final price depends on servings, recipe count, shipping fees, taxes, and add-ons. A promotional first-box discount can make the first charge lower than later renewals. If the card was only verified, you may also see a $1.00 authorization hold before the final amount posts.
Does Blue Apron charge weekly or monthly?
Blue Apron usually bills on a weekly subscription cycle tied to your delivery schedule, not a traditional monthly membership. The exact charge date depends on when your box is scheduled and when the billing cutoff passes. If you skip a week, the charge may not appear until the next active shipment.
Can I get a refund from Blue Apron for an unwanted charge?
Blue Apron refunds are usually limited once an order has been processed or shipped. Contact customer support at 888-278-4349 immediately if you want to request a refund or stop the next delivery. If the charge was unauthorized, also file a dispute with your bank or credit card issuer the same day.
