I had a freshly order show up 3 days late, all the ice packs were melted and the food was room temperature. DJ was quick to refund the order, reach out to the delivery team, and credited my account. I was worried about the hassle to correct this but DJ made it fast and easy.
The customer service chat option is great! It was quick and efficient! The virtual assistant connected me to a human quickly when it wasn't something that could be performed by the VA. The customer service rep Nikki was very nice, speedy and helpful!
Donna, I've heard people say before that Nikki is exceedingly nice, speedy and helpful! I'm glad she's keeping the good reputation going! I want to thank you for taking your time to review us!
Celine M was very helpful. She took the time to explain everything on the app. She manually put in the order because it wasn't showing that I updated the order.
Thanks so much Celine
Michele, thank you for your kind words. Celine is a rock star, so I'm so happy she got you all wrapped up and taken care of! Thank you for sharing your experience!
I love this service. It's my favorite meal prep service and I've tried just about all of them. Their customer service team is unbeatable as well. I recommend freshly and their team to everyone
Valerie, I will just tell you I'm honored to read your review! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I hope we continue to keep you happy with warm fuzzy feelings for the service!
We caught the TV commercial on "Hey Honey we'll never have to cook again!" and decsided to try.
Freshly is an outstanding Meal Provider of excellent fresh foods! The meal selection is very large and they add new dishes frequently. I personally have enjoyed over 100 meals on a weekly schedule and all have been good, some very good, and a pinch of GREAT!
The service is excellent guaranteeing freshness. I prefer the "full meal" type dishes and not the "bowl" but they offer a lot both ways.
My one ask-- is to allow the selections to be more flexible. If you want the best pricing and service you want to select a frequent plan. But if you are a weekly planner you cannot get 7 meals--you get 6 or 4 for example. Otherwise I am a happy and well fed client.
If you want frequent, "3 minute quick to table" and delicious meals with great variety--Freshly is THE ONE!
Hi Rick! What a fun review full of positivity and a splash of feedback (which we love, by the way)! I am happily going to forward your feedback as that is how we keep improving for our Freshly family members! Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you how warm you made my heart with all of your other compliments on our meals and service. I hope we continue to impress and keep your tummy full and feeling good! Thank you, again!
Ivy helped me and answered all my questions. Best customer service representative. Super quick, efficient and easy!
Alexa, I won't disagree with you about the feelings you have with Ivy and the customer service provided to you! I'll take super quick, efficient and easy -- and day! Thank you for sharing!
Marge S. Has been very helpful and fast answering my questions. The customer service can not be beat.
Aw, Dee, I love your positivity! I know Marge is wonderful, but so are all of our customer service reps! We're here to help -- even 24/7!
August was very prompt and helpful when in the online chat! They helped solve my problem with refunding my order.
Yay, August for assisting Taylor! Yay, Taylor for giving a big thumbs-up to August! My thanks to both of you!
She was so nice and very fast and I truly appreciate all her help. Due to these hard time I can no longer to freshly but once I am back I will definitely be doing meals again.
Jennifer, you are so kind with your words! When your time is right, we welcome you back with open arms! And, reach out to us and we'll do our best to provide a welcome back promo!
I needed assistance with my next order and Ally B dealt with it very quickly and efficiently.
Thank you! By the way, the meals are really good.
Hi Cherry! Ally is a rock star and I'm so happy you got in and out with your issue quickly and efficiently! I'll be sharing your experience with Ally!
My issue was solved immediately and without issue. Thank you
Stacie, I absolutely appreciate you letting us know you received excellent customer service! Thank you for this 5-star rating!
Diane was friendly and knowledgeable. She understood my concern and addressed it appropriately. Very happy with the customer service at freshly!
Hi Rebecca! I'm so thrilled to hear that Diane was of great assistance! Thanks for your stellar feedback!
I had a premium meal I did not enjoy.
Let me preface by saying Freshly has become a key part of my fridge and I've recommended to several others.
I had a premium meal, that while delicious, wasn't enough to satisfy my 5'3", lives off salad self. One quick contact through the app and August quickly refunded me and made sure I was happy.
I never complain (I promise!), so this was a nice experience. I'll continue to look forward to my Freshly box every week. The service is just outstanding!
Hello Michelle, I appreciate your honest review! While we're sad to hear that you didn't fully enjoy the premium meal, I'm happy that August was able to provide you a remarkable customer service experience in handling your concern. We'll make sure he gets the shoutout he deserves for doing such an awesome job helping you out! Thanks for being part of the Freshly fam!
Mary handled my complaint quickly and efficiently. One of the best
Wow, another shout-out for Mary F! For sure, your kind words will make her day. Thanks for reviewing us, Ahmed!
I needed to cancel my week last minute and Mary F assisted me without a hitch - thank you!
Hello Ashley, sounds like you're in the right hands! I'll be sure to give Mary F a shout-out for doing such an incredible job helping you out! Thanks for this fantastic review!
I needed to change my meals for the upcoming week and even after the deadline Mary manually made some changes to my order.
Cheers to Mary F for being an awesome assistant! Thanks for giving us 5-stars, Akshay!
Jassy was extremely helpful and kind. Was a to provide a reason why my meals were not delivered and gave me a additional credit because of the delay.
Jassy does have a knack for being quick and helpful to our Freshly family members! I'm terribly sorry to hear about your recent experience. Lauralee, we thank you for your kind review! I know Jassy will love hearing your Freshly love!
Mary F helped with my questions and understood my concern. She was very professional and took care of what I needed.
Hello Worlanda! We're so happy to hear that Mary was great of assistance to you. We'll be sure to give her a shout-out. Thanks for the awesome review!
I needed to skip a delivery that had already processed. The agent took care of things quickly and applied a credit for the order.
Thank you for the wonderful review, Elizabeth, and I'm going to tell you a little secret -- I can tell you we always want the customer to feel their experience with us is stress-free!
Coral was great, refunded an order I forgot to cancel
There goes Coral again with awesome customer service! I hear it often and never tire of hearing it! Forrest, thank you so much for your kind review. As you might imagine, Coralwill love hearing it!
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.

Logan, oh no, I'm so sad to hear of this delivery being delayed where the meals were no longer fresh! That's so disappointing and thank you for your understanding! I'm very happy to hear that, to some small degree, DJ made the experience a bit better! Thank you again for your patience!
