A food delivery service popular with Instagram influencers has suddenly collapsed, leaving thousands of customers devastated and hungry.

Last week, customers of online meal plans service Five Point Four were left without their pre-paid meals after the Brisbane-based company shut down unexpectedly.

The company had stockists across, NSW, VIC and Qld.

The company lodged a notice of administration to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission on Friday.

‘In the face of increasing competition and our cost to serve, we have made the really difficult decision to stop taking orders with immediate effect as of today,’ the company said in an email sent to customers last Wednesday.

“For our customers with future prepaid orders, the customer service team will be working diligently to process your refund and will be in touch over the coming days.

“Thank you for being part of the 5.4 family and wish you all the best in reaching your health goals in the future.”

Customers received the email telling them any future orders would ‘unfortunately not be delivered’, despite some people expecting orders that day.

Did you get caught by their sudden closure?

  • Some people who used them may not find it easy getting out and about. Some may have used them when recovering from illness.

  • I’ve never heard of them – but with all the competition around now it must make it hard for those types of business’s.

    Does seem strange through that they went from $12M annual revenue and 20,000 subscribers to having to go into administration!

    More to this story I would imagine.

  • It said on the news that the elderly woman’s listeria was happening at the same time as her death. Cause was a heart complaint. I hope the company gets back on their feet soon. Unfortunate she died but the company doesn’t sound like the cause. If this is correct dragging the company through the mud won’t do them any good. At the end of the day people lost their jobs and an elderly woman had the heart complaint.
    It said they supply to a meals on wheels where she got her meal from.

  • Sorry to hear. Never heard of this company either.
    No we didn’t get caught by their sudden closure, we never order meals to be honest.

  • I have never heard of the company. I’d rather just use my own ingredients and cook from them. These are just too pricey and really, are just gimmicks.
