I needed to share an observation about one of my meals and opted for the chat option. I initially got the bot but was quickly turned over to Pheter who was very helpful. He quickly addressed my concern.
DJ was very helpful in making sure I applied my promo code correctly! Great customer service!
My meals were delivered past the stated delivery time. After speaking to a Freshly agent, Mel, I received a small credit toward a future delivery. However there seems to be a difference between the companies understanding of delivery times (by 9 pm) and what is promised to the me (by 8 pm). Regardless, the credit smoothed out the ruffled feathers.
Mel also helped me change my delivery date in the future.
Hi FS! Thank you for your honest review! I'm glad that Mel was able to assist you! I'll be reaching out to you via Private Message to see if we can be of further assistance!

My Freshly order was not delivered on time, so I reached out to Freshly's customer support to request a resolution of this issue and a refund. LiveChat connected me with Christopher, who was very helpful and efficient. He promptly answered all of my questions, processed the refund right away, and suggested to pass my feedback about the delivery company (AxleHire) to appropriate specialists. He also provided me with an additional in-house credit, which was greatly appreciated. This was a very pleasant experience, as I did not expect this issue to be resolved so quickly. I really enjoy Freshly, and your outstanding customer service makes me appreciate it even more! Amazing!
Hi Daria! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're ecstatic to hear that Christopher was able to answer all of your questions and concerns and provided compensation for your delivery issue. We strive to ensure our customers receive the best customer service experiences!
Great experience with Adrianna! She was very prompt and helpful!
We recently moved and ordered a couple of times to eat well without stress. We enjoyed the meals, kind of like eating out by having choices for all each night.
We are now settled and want to cancel. I appreciate that our Chat mate, Charm, shared how to restart when we might want to add the convenience and good food to our lives as needed
Thank you for sharing this, Karen! Although we're sad to see you go, we're grateful you gave us a try! I'm happy to hear Charm was able to assist you with canceling. We hope we can cook for you again someday!
The meals are great, well balanced and portioned.
Also the delivery is on time and they have an excellent customer service.
Thank you for sharing this, Carlos! I'm overjoyed to hear you're enjoying our service! It's always our pleasure to cook, ship, and assist!

Alex F. Was kind, quick, and very helpful. I needed to skip this week's delivery (I had just missed the cut off time), and Alex had it taken care of within minutes. I've been a customer with Freshly for about a year, and I've always had helpful service.
Thank you for the 5 stars, Nicole! I'm excited to hear you find our customer service representatives easy to work with! It's always our pleasure to assist you.
Freshly is my first subscription food ordering service. I was hesitant to do a food ordering service, but Freshly was so easy and accommodating that I've stayed with them. The food taste good and the portions are filling. I was worried about the meals being too small and staying hungry, but it has never happened! They consistently add new meals so you don't get bored with the same meals. I have lost over 10 pounds in just a couple of weeks on this system is I choose my meals less than 500 calories. Best part no shopping for groceries, cooking and cleaning afterward. Just heat (3 min) and done!
Wow --thank you so much for sharing this, Robert! I'm thrilled to hear our service was able to pleasantly surprise you! I hope you can continue to reach your dietary goals and enjoy our meals for weeks to come!
I am moving in a few weeks and wanted to make sure my meals continued up and through the move. I talked to AJ and he was really helpful. He even went back after I thought we were done and readjusted my dates. It was quick and easy. I used live Chat and was really pleased!
Hi Bill! I'm thrilled to hear how helpful AJ was with the changes to your delivery address! I appreciate your feedback very much and thank you for the 5-star review. I'll make sure AJ is made aware of your nice compliment!
I'm trying this again as my Mother very much likes Freshly. Hopefully, the delivery will be as requested as my Mother is 93 years old and MUST have all deliveries made to her front door. Several times deliveries were left outside her gate and she was not able to bring into her house
Hi Theresa! Thank you for your stellar rating. Our intent is that our carriers always deliver to the front door, whenever possible! I do want to make sure your mother receives her meals!, and If there are ever any concerns, just reach out to us for assistance! Thank you, again!
Customer service was so helpful and fast at resolving my issue.
We will use this service again!
Hi Bob! Thank you kindly for the 5-star review! With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I'm thankful you reached out to us and we provided you helpful and quick service with your issue!
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.
