Had the wrong meals sent to us. Ron was very quick and friendly and handled the matter in a matter of minutes.
I really like the meals, I just wish their substitution policy when they don't have a meal was a little better. Getting 5 of the same meal for weeks gets boring
Hello there,
We apologize for the trouble this may have caused you! But we appreciate you sending us this valuable feedback as this will help us improve. If there's anything else I can assist you with further, don't hesitate to reach out to us!
Ron Helped explain why I received wrong meal-
Very thorough and did issue refund of the substitution meal since we can't eat beans that was in a good portion of the substituted meal.
Helpful and professional
Thank you for reviewing us, Fran! I'll be sure to give Ron a big shoutout for the job well done!
Ron did an excellent job quickly responding to the issue and providing a resolution
We do not just aim to provide delicious meals but also provide excellent customer service so I'm really proud to hear that Ron did a remarkable job in assisting you! Thanks for the feedback, Peter!
Diana S. Handled my issue quickly and thoroughly. I appreciate her assistance.
It's great to hear how Diana was able to exemplify the kind of customer service we want our valued customers to experience! We appreciate this lovely feedback, Brian!
Mary helped me resolve an issue with an incorrect order. Was polite and quickly reimbursed me for the error.
Justin from Freshly helped me work out a logistics issue with my next delivery via the app's chat feature. It was handled so quickly and easily, the problem was solved before I could even stress about it! Wonderful experience.
Sounds like you're in the right hands! I'm extremely delighted to hear Justin was able to assist you efficiently! I'm sure she'd be so pumped to hear your kind words! Thanks for your review, Michael!
Dealt with the situation quickly and well. Formal and nice.
Great experience. Justin was helpful and took care of everything quickly.
We pride ourselves on our world-class customer service, so knowing that Justin was able to exude that is very heartening! We appreciate this feedback!
I had an issue with a promo code that I attempted to fix last night. When I checked this morning, I noticed that the issue was not resolved as I had hoped. When I reached out to Freshly again today Arjen fixed it so quickly!
Another job well done from Arjen! Thank you for reviewing us, Rachel!
My delivery was delayed two days, so I reached out to Freshly chat to see if the food was still safe to eat in the event it was delivered today. Arjen replied very quickly and thoroughly. Arjen provided the details of the length of time the food is still "fresh", cancelled the shipment, and issued me a credit. I appreciate the prompt and thorough handling of my issue.
While I'm saddened to hear about the trouble this may have caused, I feel relieved that Arjen was able to patch things up! Thank you for the rating, Gayle!
Received notification on app that meals were left at front door at 9:16 PM. No meals at front or garage door. Chatted with Diana S. She checked and then sent message that account would be refunded. Definitely appreciated her prompt response and corrective action.
While I'm saddened to hear about the issue with your recent delivery, it's a sigh of relief knowing Diana was there to the rescue! I'll make sure to share this win with her and of course, give her a big shout-out for a job well done! Thanks for your stellar review, Karen!
He listened to my issue and documented the issue, then resolved my concerns. Ron was able to refund my purchase that was delivered incorrectly.
A shipment didn't deliver, but they helped me with a quick refund and credit. Great customer service!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful customer service experience with us, Amber! We can't stress enough how we appreciate your understanding given the hiccup you've experienced with your recent delivery! We'll surely share your awesome review with the rest of the team!
I'm new to Freshly and there was an issue with missing meals in my first order. It took almost no time to resolve the issue and the agent, Diana S., was incredibly helpful.
Joyce A. Was extremely helpful. Even though Freshly doesn't currently have a military or first responder discount, like Factor... she hooked me up with a discount for the month. She's awesome.
Oh WOW -- indeed, a 5-star worthy customer service from Joyce! For sure, your kind words will make her day. Welcome to the Freshly family and thanks for reviewing us, Andrew!
I was reviewing my upcoming delivery and realized that 7 out of the 10 meals coming were incorrect (I did not select them). Since my order was already processing it could not be changed but Mary offered to cancel my order which was a much better option than receiving meals I didn't want. I gave this three stars because I don't know why my meals were changed. Customer service with Mary was five stars.
Hi Monica, thanks for reviewing us! Please be aware that we work with a rotating menu, we update/add/remove meals on a weekly basis. If a meal were to be removed from our menu, we would auto-fill that slot with a meal already in your selections or a random meal.
It is not guaranteed all selections will remain the same, so we encourage all customers to closely manage their subscriptions to ensure they're getting the meals of their choice each week. That is why it is so important to review your weekly selections, and why we make sure to send weekly reminder notifications.
Half of the meals that I received were wrong. Mel, my chat assistant told me that sometimes when they are out of something the computer auto selects things for me and it is my responsibility to choose new meals if I don't like them. I never received a notification other than a shipping confirmation that stated the correct meals. The remedy from Mel was to credit me 25% of the cost of my meals that week, which I stated was unacceptable given that half were wrong and it wasn't even that I got 3 random meals, I received repeats of one of my correct meals. So 4 of my meals this week were the same thing, which was not an exciting prospect for my palate. Mel agreed and gave me a 50% credit.
Hi Shawn, thanks for bringing this to our attention! I'm glad Mel was able to work things out for you! Please know that we work with a rotating menu, meaning we update/add/remove meals on a weekly basis. If a meal were to be removed from our menu, we would auto-fill that slot with a meal already in your selections or a random meal. It is not guaranteed all selections will remain the same, so we encourage all customers to closely manage their subscriptions to ensure they're getting the meals of their choice each week -- that is why it is so important to review your weekly selections. If you have any other comments, I’d be glad to hear them at [email protected] -- we're always willing to lend a helping hand!
I got an email that lead me to believe that my order did not register so I contacted support to confirm my order. Mel was able to confirm my order.
I'm thrilled to hear Mel was able to shed some light on things! I'm sure, your 5-star review will make her day! Thanks for your review, Jo!
Answer: Hi Marc, Thanks for your inquiry! At this time we change one meal per week, typically. We will either remove an item and replace with something new, update the recipe on a current item or just add an item without removing one. As we continue to grow we will have plans to offer even more variety as well!
Answer: Hi Steven, Thank you for your interest in Freshly! We are a weekly subscription service, so you would be charged for, and delivered meals on a weekly basis. However, you can select to skip weeks, or cancel your subscription at anytime! These changes would just need to be made prior to your weekly deadline, which is outlined in your Welcome Email, Reminder Emails, and in your Meal Planner. I hope this helps!
Answer: Our meals are prepared and shipped out from our kitchen in Phoenix.:-) For Arizona deliveries we use FedEx.
Answer: The delivery window they give us is between 9am and 9pm. We package the meals to be safe for 2 days transit time, plus safe to sit outside for up to 12 hours upon delivery.:-)
Answer: Hi Nancy! We do not cook meals based on other programs' guidelines at this time. We're not overly concerned with calorie counts, but more concerned with where calories come from. Our meals are generally high protein, high healthy fat, low carb, low sugar. We use unprocessed ingredients free from hormones or added sugars, and never use chemical preservatives. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions at this time!
Answer: Hi Shawn W, That doesn't sound right! Please reach us at [email protected] so we can take a closer look at this!
Answer: Hi Joyce, Thank you so much for reaching out to us here at Freshly! I'd like to apologize for the delayed response! First and foremost, I'd like to inform you that we're a weekly subscription service, which means you'll receive meals weekly, and get charged weekly as well. Here are the steps to follow while signing up: 1 - Add your email address and zip code in the sign-up box on our homepage. ( www.Freshly.com) 2 - Pick your meal plan. Just keep in mind that our meals have a shelf life of about 5 days unless frozen. 3 - Pick your delivery day from the available dates! The specific day of the week will be your weekly delivery day unless changed. 4 - Select your delicious meals from our 30+ selections. 5 - Add your contact info, payment details, and delivery address.
Answer: Hi Gayle, Thank you for reaching out to us here at Freshly! You can certainly reheat our meals in a conventional oven, however, our current meal containers are not safe for the oven or stove-top, so you'll have to transfer your food to heat it up. First, preheat your oven to 350° F. Transfer your food to an oven-safe dish (don't forget to scrape the sauce out of the tray!) and cover the top in tin foil. Heat for 25-35 minutes, remove foil, and let sit 3-5 minutes, then transfer to your choice of plate or bowl and enjoy! (Keep in mind, heating times are approximate. You'll want to reheat the meal to an inner temperature of 165° F.)
Answer: Hi Angela, Thank you for reaching out to us here at Freshly! We use third-party carriers for our deliveries, such as FedEx in her area! We can deliver Tuesday-Saturday in Southern Illinois--deliveries can occur between 8am-9pm depending on the carriers route for the day. While carrier delays are out of the norm, weather-related issues, road closures, driver confusion, etc. can wreak havoc. We have a dedicated delivery team that works directly with our carriers to ensure successful deliveries, and we're always sure to compensate when delays arise. We certainly hope this helps! To view a list of currently available deliveries, you can enter your zip code at www.freshly.com!
Answer: I've been getting mine in on time, but I assume as with all packages going through USPS, UPS, and FedEx right now, things have been backed up since COVID and only getting worse. So it's not Freshly's fault even if they aren't delivered on time.
