It was a pleasure doing business with Freshly and their customer service rep. Justine. When the robot was unable to solve my problem, she took over without a hitch. The food was always delivered on time, packed and insulated well. I liked that the ice packs contained a nontoxic substance that I just put in the trash and the bag was recyclable.
Unfortunately, most of their food was just too spicy for me so I had to discontinue my subscription.
Very good at responding to a chat. RE: I had asked to skip this week but was notified food was coming. Even tho the time to cancel had passed, they promptly issued me a refund for this week. (my thoughts were that I had cancelled the following week and not this one. I will check, but I'm very pleased with the service and the food!)
Hi James, thanks for the fantastic review! I'm glad to hear that you've been satisfied with our customers service.
We ordered ULTRA-UMAMI TURKEY MEATLOAF as part of our six meal weekly order. What we received was the Rutabaga Alla Vodka. Using chat a credit was issued for that meal, and that credit will go on our next weeks order. Too easy.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, Steven! My apologies for any inconvenience with your order but I'm really grateful to hear that you've been satisfied with our customer service.
Freshly's customer service is wonderful. They are so easy to work with, and it truly is a pleasure. Thank you so much. In today's efforts, Nathan B. Was most helpful
Sounds like you're in the right hands! I'm extremely delighted to hear Nathan has been a huge help to you, Rebecca! I'm sure, he'd be so pumped to hear your kind words! Thanks for your review!
Forgot to cancel before my last meal kit was sent out. Was able to chat with Kenny and he refunded the amount. I wasn't expecting that, as it was my fault for not canceling in time, but really appreciate it! When school opens, I'll be coming back!
Oh WOW -- indeed, a 5-star worthy customer service from Kenny! For sure, your kind words will make his day. Thanks for reviewing us, Ashley and we look forward to cooking for you again!
I really appreciated my interaction with Cherry tonight on the freshly Chat. She was very understanding and quick and efficent!
Looks like Cherry left an amazing impression! Thanks for the stellar rating, Ashley!
Need to change my meal plan was quick and easy Cherry did a great job helping me this is a new meal plan for me and so far I love the food
Thanks for the review, Phillene! We'll be sure to commend Cherry for the job well done!
Freshly is amazing! I was part of 2 food subscription services and switched completely over to Freshly because their food was much better and the customer service is exceptional. Justine did a great job helping me in a prompt and kind manner! I would recommend to family and friends!
Hi there! We're so happy to hear how we're able to be a great fit and how Justine was able to provide amazing assistance! Thank you for the review and for being a part of the Freshly fam!
Nathan B was very helpful. He understood my issue and handled it in under 10 minutes. He also wished me well on my new job!
Hi Laura, thank you for your 5-star review! I'm so happy to hear that Nathan B was able to assist you quite perfectly there. I'll be sure to share your sentiments with him!
Do not sign up without triple checking what delivery dates are available in your area. The purpose for me was to help me through the work week, which I assume is true for most people and the main point of the service. So I needed early in the week, but I could only get Thursday deliveries. I signed up for that initially hoping I could change future weeks, but no. The best I could get was Wednesday or Saturday, and even those days only several weeks away. Even the Thursday delivery didn't arrive till after dinnertime. Customer service showed no interest in being more flexible.
Hello there!
We want all of our customers to have a convenient and worry-free experience and we're very disappointed this hasn't been the case for you. We're only able to deliver on specific days in certain areas due to carrier availability and restrictions. But we'd be happy to look into this further. With that said, I'll be sending you a private message!
I had a problem with my subscription. Alex F fixed it and was very pleasant and professional. Great!
Hi Lesa! While I'm disappointed to hear that you had a subscription issue, I'm very happy to hear that Alex was of great assistance. I loved hearing -- very pleasant and professional Thank you, again!
In the chat I got to interact with Regina. She was very knowledgeable about plant based organic foods. She was Awesome! She is an asset to your company.
Hi Paul! Thank you so much for your 5-star review! I'm so happy and proud of Regine that you were provided excellent customer service, including her knowledge on plant-based meals. Thank you again for reaching out to us!
My husband and I tried Freshly. The food was fine, it just reminded us too much of eating airplane food and we decided it wasn't for us. Just as we decided it wasn't for us, our next order was charged and we got a confirmation email. Womp womp-- my email had put all of our follow-up emails in spam and so I was very confused about why we were receiving more food. Anyway, I explained all of this to Alex F. In the little chat box and received friendly, succinct, and helpful customer service. I'm really impressed!
Hi Renae! Thank you so much for your honest review. While I'm disappointed that you found your meals only fine, I also know that we're not a fit for everyone! But, I'm very proud that Alex took good care of you with the customer service you received! I'll make sure to pass along your feedback, and I'll follow-up with you privately to see if we can be of further assistance.
Accidentally missed the deadline to skip a week. Used the chat function, and Regine very quickly took care of it. She could not have been more friendly! Love Freshly, and love this service!
Hi Amber! Thank you so much for your 5-star review! I'm so happy that Regine got you taken care of with your skipped week issue. I will pass along your kind words. And, I love the fact that you love Freshly and the service we provide! Thank you, again!
Ron did great - and was so patient! He worked with me and was so helpful.
Great service! Friendly and helpful!
Hello Sherry, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! It's one of our topmost priorities to provide a remarkable customer service experience, and knowing how Ron took care of everything for you absolutely knocked our socks off!
Regine was very quick in efficient in resolving my issue with my freshly order. This is what keeps me a freshly customer (along with the good food of course!).
Hi Blake! Thank you for letting us know of your happiness with Regine. I'll make sure to pass along the review! And, of course, we're happy you're enjoying your meals!
I have been using Freshly.com to supply me with weekly meals. For next week I was unable to access internet and needed to change one of my meals. So upon returning home, I chatted with Regime at Freshly who quickly changed the meal for me. She was most helpful. Thank you for your support.
Hi Joanne! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I'm very happy to hear that Regine was able to assist you at your time of need! I'll make sure I pass along your kind words to Regine!
Trying out Freshly for my father in law who lost his wife recently to Covid. The order was a day late, but my father in law thought his first 2 meals were delicious. Freshly kept us informed the whole time and the food was packaged securely so the lateness was ok. I chatted with a Regine because I thought the billing was incorrect for the second week of meals. Regine looked it up and realized the promotion did not hit our 2nd week meals. Regine fixed the issue in less than 5 minutes. So far the customer service at Freshly is excellent.
Hi Amy! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We're elated to hear that your issue was resolved quickly with the help of Regine. We hope you continue to have a wonderful experience with us.
Nathan B is the best! He helped me fast and efficiently. He didn't argue or ask questions he just quickly helped me.
Thank you so much for the positive review, Teena! I'm glad to hear Nathan was quick to take care of you and your concerns! No worries, I'll be sure to share your appreciation with him!
Prompt delivery. Well packaged. Excellent personal customer service = Regine... made my first week easy!
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Penelope! I'm thrilled to hear Regine provided you with excellent customer service! I'd be happy to share your wonderful review with her!
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.
