I sent a late night email to Freshly and was pleased and surprised to receive an almost immediate response from Marge S. Her answer to my question was knowledgeable and articulate, written in a pleasant tone, and contained not only the answer to my query, but also several helpful links for use in the future. I am very impressed by Freshly and your most pleasant and competent customer care rep, Marge S. Thank you!

I'm thrilled that we're Kate give you quality customer service, Donna! But we're very sorry to hear about what happened. Rest assured I will pass along your kind review to the team. Thank you for the 5-star rating!

I had talked to Marc E last night, and I had asked about shipping and he said all shipping was included in the price of the meal, however, I have received several emails with "deals" from Freshly and it said shipping was excluded. I called today and talked the "Jess" and she thoroughly explained the shipping information, even going as far and breaking down the shipping for the desired number of meals. She (please excuse me for assigning gender, as I am old and still do that) explained the plans and gave me information in plain language. I am planning on setting up a Freshly account very soon. The information she provided was straight-forward and concise, and certainly displayed a friendly yet professional attitude. Great Job!
Hello Joe, thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're so happy to hear that all questions were answered concisely and professionally. Thanks again for the 5-star rating. We can't wait to cook for you soon!
I had recently become an empty-nester so I was looking for easier, yet healthy options for meals for one. I've had better meals with a $2.00 frozen meal from the grocery store. Everything tasted like it had been frozen and thawed just before shipping to me. Veggies looked and tasted like canned and overcooked. Rice was undercooked. My daughter came over for dinner one night so we cooked two of the meals and split them in half so we could each give our thoughts. Neither one of us could actually finish either meal that's how horrible they were. Overall I was EXTREMELY disappointed the Fresh is NOT what Freshly delivered. Gross is the best word to describe your food, Gross and a Waste of money. If the single meal option is what you are looking for stick with the frozen food section, their most expensive is still less expensive than Freshly and taste much better. If home delivery is what you are looking for I've tried several meal kit options that are great. Blue Apron, Hello Fresh, and Home Chef are all great but are all meant for more than one person eating. Still leftovers of good, freshly prepared food is better than Freshly.
Hello Kimberly, I'm so sad to hear we haven't lived up to your expectations and our meals weren't able to leave quite a good impression. However, I appreciate you sharing this with us and I'll be sure to take note of this and pass your feedback to our chefs. In the meantime, I'll be reaching out to your privately to take a closer look at this matter. Please feel free to reach us at [email protected] for any additional feedback or suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to review us.
We have used Freshly twice now and have been extremely pleased with all of the meals. They came on time and ready to heat and serve. Each meal was delicious. We will definitely use Freshly again.
Hello Charlotte! I'm so happy to hear that you've been enjoying our meals. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us. Keep sharing the Freshly love!
Mary F, helped me with my incorrect order and I was very very satisfied with the guickness of her resolution, she immediately reimbursed my account and apologized for my inconvenience. She did a great job.
Hi, Shirley! Well, from the sounds of it, Mary hit the proverbial customer service home run in how you were treated and accommodated! Thank you for your patience, and I thank Mary for representing us well!

Geri, welcome to Freshly and I'm pleased you got your questions answered! Ivy is wonderful, too! Thank you for sharing your customer service experience with us, and I know Ivy will love to hear your review!
I was put in touch with Nikki because my order was wrong. She instantly found the cause of the error and made it right. Nikki was fast and personable, and it was one of the best customer service experiences I've had.

Jess was extremely helpful with my promo code issue.
Hello Nicole, thank you so much for your awesome review! I'm really glad how Jess did an excellent job of assisting you with your promo code issue!
I placed an order with Freshly before realizing the meals would come so close to me relocating. I reached out to Customer Service and connected with Rafael. He was excellent in clarifying my concerns and assisting me in receiving my initial order and suspending my subscription until I was able to reactivate it in the future.
Rafael was timely and professional. He was an Excellent example of Class A customer service.
Thank You Rafael for allowing me to try your product with ease while repairing to relocate. Now I have one less thing to worry about.
Maria, my best wishes with your relocation and, yes, who wants to worry about a meal delivery when you are in the throes of such a move! I can tell you I'm so pleased that Rafael was at the ready to assist you! Thank you so much for your kind words about the customer service experience you had with Rafael, and I welcome you back when you're ready to return! Thank you for being the best part of Freshly!
I had a frustrating issue with the wrong meals being sent. Marc E. Was extremely understanding and courteous, and best of all resolved the issue in a speedy manner. This was a great example of customer support at its finest.
Ricardo, I'm so sad to hear there were incorrect meals that were sent. Goodness, I want to thank you for your understanding! While we didn't mean to throw you a curveball with this situation, I'm at least very happy that Marc came in and did good by you! I'm just happy to know you feel we treated you right and are satisfied with the service Marc provided you!
We didn't receive a box last week. I reached out to support via live chat and a refund was issued right away. Great support from Kenny.
Thanks!
Oh no, Brandon! This is not what I wanted to hear, and thank you so much for your patience with this particular issue. Our delivery team does look into each delivery issue, but in the meantime, I'm very happy that Kenny provided you with A+ customer service! Thank you for being the best part of Freshly!
I couldn't access my account and Mel was polite, kind, courteous and above all else super helpful in getting my situation resolved!
Marie, I'm so glad to hear this, and thank you for sharing some Mel-love! At times I refer to our customer service reps as rock stars, so you and I must be kindred spirits! All kidding aside, thank you for your very kind review -- which I'll absolutely share with Mel!
Perfect support from Jess, appreciate the flexibility, help and politeness!
Luc, thank you! Jess is definitely helpful and polite! To say you got perfect support from Jess speaks highly of the work done by her in assist you! Thank you for the thumbs-up, and rest assured I will let Jess know she did good!
My first delivery went to the wrong address. I talked to Mei and it was completely taken care of. We added a note to the delivery driver to make sure it won't happen again. Excellent customer service.
Hi, Roger! Oh, no, that's not what I wanted to hear! While that was a curveball thrown at you that you weren't expecting, I want to thank you for your understanding! And, I'm glad we updated the delivery notes a bit more to help the driver find you next time! Thank you!
Quinn was very professional in helping me thank u very much I really appreciate
Ronald, thank you! Quinn is a rock star in my book and it sounds as though she did rock star quality work in assisting you! Thank you for taking your time to recognize Quinn!
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 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.
