August was super helpful with finding a missing receipt I needed for an employee purchase I made a while back.
I received an email with a $$'s off offered. I clicked on the email and wanted to see what meal item choices there were. Didn't see anything that appealed so I left the website. Tonight I got an email stating my order would be arriving on the 22nd. This is crazy I didn't to initiate any order. I immediately got onto an online chat with a rep named Diane. She was very nice and said she canceled the order for me which is great but because of the way your website operates I will not visit it again. I'm going to remove myself from your mailing group. There needs to be something there for the consumer / customer confirming an order. I pressed no such button. I was told an order is initiated just by opening your email. I consider this to be fraud and will be reporting it. My hope is that my experience will prompt you to improve your website.
Thank you very much for sharing this feedback! We'll surely pass this on to the appropriate team for further investigation. We're excited to let Diane know how helpful she was with this situation. Reach out to us at [email protected] for us to further assist you with removing yourself from our mailing list.
Been a freshly customer for a couple years now and I'm very happy with their meal quality, selection, and customer service.
Peter, thank you! You said it all simply and in a straightforward manner -- I appreciate you! I hope you continue to enjoy the service and your meals.
I thought I lost my package so I contacted support. They sent me a refund for my order but I later I was able to locate the package. Then I contacted support again to tell them it's okay to reverse the refund, but they told me to keep it. Thank you so much Diana S! I really appreciate it!
Christopher, well I'm disappointed the package got delivered elsewhere, but I'm very happy to know you were able to locate it. I'm very pleased that Diana took very good care of you -- and enjoy your meals, you deserve them! Thank you for your very kind review of Diana. I know you'll make her smile today!
The default button on my orders was not working! I kept getting a default of 10 orders of Buffalo chicken which is too spicy for me to even eat! After talking to Josh on the chat, not only was he very patient with me while I sat and had to choose 10 new meals, but he set my default menu so this would not happen again! Meal crisis diverted! Thanks Josh!
We're so elated to hear that Josh was able to get his meal issue taken care of for you! Meal crisis diverted complete! We love that for you. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I needed to postpone deliveries for a couple weeks. There is no way to do that I could find even the the bot. I was connected to a real person and she did the postpone for me.
We're so glad to hear that one of our agents was able to take care of your delivery issue! We strive to ensure the best customer service experience yet! Thanks for sharing.
My experience with August was great. Very helpful.
Hey, Bill! Thank you for reaching out and taking the time to share how your experience with August went! He's indeed one of the best. We'll let him know you dropped an excellent review!
I wanted to cancel my order for next week so I went to the chat and met up with Mary F and she was fantastic she did an excellent job of helping me out and I am totally satisfied. By the way, your food is delicious!
Hey, Marianne! I'm so excited to share your praises with Mary F. I'll complete her day like how it made mine. We're looking forward to sharing more drool-worthy meals with you. Thanks for sharing your Freshly love!
Diana helped me quickly & with kindness. I appreciate my experience with her.
Hello, Isobel! A job well done for Diana S! Your appreciation matters, so I'll be sharing it with her. Thanks for reviewing us!
Was kind and did not pressure to continue. No questions were asked.

Lina, I can tell you we never want to give anyone the runaround, and I'm so glad you appreciated the fast and efficient customer service. Thank you for taking your time to review us today!
Food was mediocre. Customer service is superior. The human portion of chat function was helpful.
Nancy, thank you for your honest review and the compliments you paid to our customer service. I'm disappointed you were not more impressed with your meals, and I will pass along your feedback to our chefs and team. In the meantime, I'll reach out to you via private message as I'd love to hear any additional meal feedback you'd like to provide and if I can be of further assistance. Thank you.
It was quick and easy. Responder was nice and courteous.

Caroline, I'm always happy to hear our customer service reps are assisting our Freshly family members! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to assist you today!
I had to cancel an order I didn't know was going through. Pau K helped me and very quickly canceled my order and was very generous.
Eric, I'm so happy that Pau came through for you today. Thank you for your review! I like happy customers and it seems as though you were happy with your interaction with Pau today.
The live agent was extremely helpful and attentive!
Yay, I'm so happy to hear this! Chalk up a successful customer service interaction today. Thank you, Sharrarne!

We love great experiences, and thank you for your recognition of Mary! Nicholas, I can tell you we truly value our Freshly family members, and we always do our best to ensure you have a positive experience. Thank you.
Due to a shipping delay I received my box after the allowable time for food safety. I contacted customer service in the app chat. August was able to quickly help me, confirm the meals were no longer safe to eat, and processed the refund. I appreciate the hassle free process!
Allison, oh no, I'm very sad to hear of the delay, but customer safety is always paramount to us. I want to sincerely thank you for your review of August and I'm so proud you were taken care of to your satisfaction. August will have a big smile when hearing your review.
I did not receive my meals. The operator showed me a picture of where the meals were delivered to and it was not my foyer. She rectified the situation by applying a credit to my account.
Hi Susan! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. We love hearing about the times that we're able to rectify a situation and turn that frown upside down. Thanks for sharing!
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.
