Confidence
The page content, title, and menu match the well-known Blue Apron meal delivery service exactly, with no signs of impersonation or cloning. The domain is over 24 years old and registered through a major registrar with no privacy masking, while the hosting IP shows zero abuse reports. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists returned completely clean results. The evidence package confirms it is the real company, now owned by Wonder Group, with active Delaware incorporation since 2012. Mixed customer feedback exists around billing and support, but these are service issues rather than indicators of fraud.

  • Page contains e-commerce copy (cart / checkout / shipping).
  • No phone number or postal address anywhere on the page.
  • Multiple contact / trust-signal red flags on the page.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on blueapron.com and not a lookalike like b-lueapron.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.
