Hello Brenda, thank you so much for this wonderful review! I'm happy to hear you've had an easy and convenient experience with us.
I set the wrong delivery date past the deadline to correct it on my own, i used the live chat service to speak with Christopher, who was very nice and was able to help me resolve my issue in a timely manner.
Hello David, thanks for the stellar review! I'm thrilled to hear how Christopher assisted you with your concern. I'll make sure to share this with our team.
My experience using Freshly
I can't say enough about how easy Freshly is. My husband and I used another meal subscription box for more than a year, and I grew accustomed to starting meal prep as much as an hour before dinnertime.
At best, with the "express" versions of those other kits, you have 15 minutes of prep and cook time. With Freshly, you don't even have to pull a pan out. Just unbox your meal, pull the plastic back to vent, and cook for about three minutes. You'll then let it rest for a couple of minutes before eating.
If you're expecting what you get after 15-60 minutes over a hot stove, you'll be disappointed. However, the food was surprisingly tasty. Each meal was packed full of flavor. The green beans were crisp and the macaroni and cheese that came with the chicken breast well-exceeded expectations and is a new personal favorite.

Hello Neel, thanks for the 5-star rating! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying our meals and services.
Customer service solved an issue with wrong meals delivery quickly and politely
We are on our second week of meals and I have to say we haven't had a bad meal yet. The flavors are delicious and complementary to the other foods that come with it. It's a nice change when you are running out of ideas to cook. I have caregivers taking care of my mother while I undergo cancer treatment, this helps eliminate the need to make sure she is getting healthy meals and makes it easy on the caregivers as well. I would like to see some fish meals if that's a possibility. Otherwise, we are both enjoying our dinners. :)
Oh WOW! This is awesome to hear, Janet! I'm tremendously thrilled to hear you're having a whale of a time here with us so far! I'll be sure to pass along your feedback to our Chefs for further review, hopefully, we can add fish options on our menu soon.
I have been looking for Fresh yet healthy options for myself and every meal I have chosen is delicious and I recommend it to everyone.

Hi there, Corey! I'm so happy to hear that you've had a pleasant and friendly customer service experience!
I typed in my address wrong for my first order and needed help correcting it. Mel swiftly made the adjustment for me and was super helpful and nice. They also reminded me about future delivery dates and deadlines which is helpful to know, as I'm new to this service. High fives!
I had one of my favorite meals - Swedish meatballs - arrive in a bursted package. Unfortunately I was unable to eat it and reached out to the support chat for assistance. Christopher credited my account and delivered more than I could have asked for, in less than 5 minutes! Thank you Christopher for making this so seamless and delighted as a customer to Freshly.
My first order came but was someone else's meals, they quickly responded and refunded me. Will order again
I'm saddened to hear about your experience with your first order, Frank! But I'm also glad that you've been given amazing assistance that all of our customers deserve! I appreciate you sharing this rating, and we're looking forward to spending more delicious weeks with 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!
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.
