Understanding EveryPlate's Cutoff Deadlines

EveryPlate has a strict cutoff deadline to ensure they have enough time to process changes before your box is assembled and shipped. This deadline is typically five days before your scheduled delivery day, by 11:59 PM Central Time (CT). Missing this window means you will be charged for and will receive that week's box.

How to Skip Multiple Weeks

If you plan on being away for an extended period, you can skip multiple weeks in advance. However, each week must be skipped individually. The process is the same as skipping a single week; you just need to repeat the steps for each upcoming delivery date you want to pause. You can access and manage these future weeks through the 'My Menu' section on the website or app.

What to Do If You Miss the Cutoff

If you realize you need to skip a week after the deadline has passed, options are limited. EveryPlate's system will have already processed the order, and it's too late to make changes. In this case, you will receive and be charged for that week's box. Plan ahead and set a reminder to manage your deliveries before the weekly deadline.
