It happened 3 times in the last month for just me so how many "accidents" are happening. I called the shipper 30 min later and they said this happens by accident sometimes it gets marked delivered but it's not.

So not sure where my package went as none of my neighbors received it on this road as we would have seen a car on the road go into our neighborhood and out. We live on a road with 20 houses and no outlet past my house. My camera has no person on my property around that time and my husband was outside and not one car past my house. I was sitting in my family room next to front door and no one dropped anything off at that time at my front door. I would not recommend Blue Apron to people who cannot do this. I have enough cooking experience and knowledge to recognize when the recipes are poorly written so I can prevent them from being awful. Our delivery comes regularly on Thursdays and have come to enjoy opening the box to see what is in it, even when the ingredients and cooking methods end up being stupid. Because everything is pre-packaged and measured out we have reduced our food waste by a lot. My wife and I have seen better numbers at the doctor's office since eating these meals.

On the other hand, with a bit of skill I have been able to rescue most of the recipes so that they still taste good.

If you limit the number of people who can talk about the problems with recipes you don't have to deal with having incompetent people coming up with them. That may be why they only allow you to comment on individual recipes if you sign in with Facebook, which I have cancelled. (It's science - bread stored in the fridge gets overly chewy and tough because of the way the structure of the bread interacts with the environment of the fridge.) It's like they hired people to develop their recipes that only have a vague notion of how to cook. They say to store it in the refrigerator even though that is something you should never do. They send bread for some sandwiches that gets moldy really, really fast. Everything is cooked in olive oil, regardless of whether or not that is the best choice.
