I am a new subscriber and had a few questions, primarily to clarify that Freshly had the right shipping address on my first order. I decided to try using Chat and was assisted by CJ, who was very helpful -- verifying the shipping address and providing me a link to use if ever I need to change the delivery date. CJ had very nice "chat" etiquette! This first help experience made me think favorably of Freshly's online customer support.
Hi Lea! I'm very happy to learn that you had a quick response to your issue by CJ! Thank you for letting us know!
Was given 2 wrong meals, and was given appropriate credit back. Would have been 5 stars if she would have given the full credit in the first place instead of me having to ask.
Hi Jason! Thank you for your honest review! I'm sad to hear there were two incorrect meals, but am happy you were taken care of with the credits!
We are not Freshly customers. A package intended for a customer shows up at our house. I communicate with Freshly via chat. The bot or person on the other end gives me some boilerplate responses and ultimately tells me to "CALL OR TEXT US · *******459". Which I did. But why couldn't the bot/person on the chat simply tell me that the actual customer ultimately did receive a replacement package, and that we were free to use or discard the package as we saw fit? Why did I have to engage in a second communication?
Also, why didn't the bot that initially answered that chat pass along what I had already typed to the bot/person who the chat got turned over to?
I reached out via chat was assisted quickly with my request by Mel, and she was very helpful.
Hi Wayne! I'm thrilled by your kind review and compliment on Mel's help! Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us!
Alex F responded quickly and changed my order without any problems. Really appreciated how easy that was.
Hi Kara! Thank you so much for your kind 5-star review! I'm so glad that Alex was able to quickly and efficiently change your order! I'll make sure that Alex hears your kind words!
I need to have my address changed for the winter and Ash took very good care in doing that. We also discussed the delivery problem with Thanksgiving week in Florida and she resolved that issue too.
Looks like Ash ticked all the boxes! Thank you for the stellar rating, James!
Meals were fantastic. Arrived on time and neatly packed. Will probably return in the future. Charm was a real Charm!
Truly charming! Thank you for this review, Judy! Looking forward to cooking for you again someday!
My weekly delivery was damaged. I reached out through chat to request a refund, and received friendly and prompt service from Kenny.
While I'm saddened to hear about the trouble this may have caused, I feel relieved that Kenny was able to patch things up! Thank you for the rating, Matt!
Kenny helped with problem, did a great job, with changing name and phone number, that's about all
Another job well done from Kenny! Thank you for reviewing us, Judy!
I tried to chat with Freshly a few times earlier today and the automatic bot was not working properly. I waited a few hours and Christopher answered my questions and was very chipper and helpful.
Thank you so much for this review, Marie! We appreciate you sharing your experience with us. We'll be sure to let Christopher know what an outstanding job he did!
Every time we have had any issue freshly has went above and beyond to insure that we are happy! They have a great team and the meals are even better!
Thank you for sharing this, Chrystal! I'm happy to hear our customer service went above and beyond to ensure you were happy! I hope you can continue to enjoy our customer service for weeks to come!
Hope helped me skip a delivery to an out of date address. Saved the day!
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Samantha! I'm overjoyed to hear Hope was able to save the day!
I chatted with Lee from Freshly about help coordinating a staff event for our team who is working from home.
Freshly seems like a terrific "fresh"idea. Lee was super quick to direct me to resources. Hope we can make something work for our teams in partnership.
Thank you for the 5 stars, Roeshay! I'm thrilled to hear Lee was able to provide you the resources needed! I'd be happy to share your wonderful review with him!
Overall great experience. I also have noticed a change in my health. I have lost weight and gained more energy.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Ticha! I'm excited to hear our meals have helped you change your health for the better! It's always our pleasure to cook for you!
My order was missing two items and I was able to get on via chat and get it resolved quickly. CJ was super helpful and took care of the issue right away.
Thank you for the 5 stars, Mikaela! I'm happy to hear CJ was a great help by taking care of your issue right away! I'd be happy to share your wonderful review with her!
I have been ordering Freshly for a while and was satisfied with their food. My latest order was stuck in transit and was not going to be delivered in time to arrive in good eating condition. Freshly team refunded me the money and gave me a some credit towards my next delivery.
Bummed out the food did not arrive, but understood it was out of Freshly's control.
Good customer service nonetheless.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this, Jonathan. I'm sorry to hear about your recent experiences with our deliveries, this certainly isn't something we wish for any of our customers. I'd be happy to share your experiences along with the appropriate members of our team so that this does not go unheard!
I often forget to update my order each interval, so every two weeks or so I come in to get my meals reassigned. Customer Service is always quick and streamlined to help if I can get into a chat!
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Ben! I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying our customer service!
I received an incorrect meal for the week. Chat response was very quick and helpful.
Good customer experience
Thank you for sharing this, Divyansh! Although I'm saddened to hear you reviewed an incorrect mean, I'm happy to hear our customer service was able to assist you!
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!

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.

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.
