Some of the meals are incredible, loving the Thai-ish Lemongrass Bowl right now. Freshly staff have, on the whole, been exceedingly polite, eager to help. That's so rare. So nice. Delivery people are not Freshly staff, so they don't always deliver it where you want it (in a building). The packaging is a bit much to deal with (non-toxic frozen gel-packs and recycled, biodegradable denim, both in recyclable wrapping, but disposal is a chore. It would be nice if they had delivery pick it up for return on delivery of fresh orders. The site is pretty easy to navigate. It would be nice if the iPhone app made it easier to rate meals.
Very good customer service with Mary F. She was very helpful in helping me with my account. I had to change the delivery address for my order. Thank you.
I want you to have your meals, Susan, so making sure we have an updated address is critical! It sounds like it was a painless request and we got you all hooked up with the new address. And, realizing you had Mary as your representative, I'm guessing it was a pleasurable experience for both you and Mary! Thank you for sharing your Freshly love!
I recently contacted Freshly about the status of an order. The shipper marked my order as delivered, though I did not receive it. The chat went smoothly and Ivy handled my issue very quickly. The service was thorough and professional.
Hi, Christian! Oh no, I'm so sad to hear of this delivery issue. I know we'll be sure to investigate this with the carrier and I thank you for your understanding. I'm very happy that, while an unfortunate situation, Ivy provided you customer service that you appreciated.
I had spoken to one agent yesterday about cancelling my order and that agent said the had put in a request however my Freshly app was not reflecting it was cancelled. I contacted Freshly again and mayumi helped me to check to see if it was truly cancelled and it was not. She cancelled and refunded my card for the order. She was super helpful.
Hi Lena, thank you for sharing your positive interaction with Mayumi! I'm glad she was able to rectify the situation and help you sort it out. I'll be sure to share this with the team!
Mel was professional and very helpful. I appreciate all the help she gave me in this inquiry.
I'm so happy Mel was helpful and professional with handling your order, Sunny! Thank you for the 5-star review! Mel will be so excited to hear about this!
I had questions about my 1st order and the next Ivy helped me out tremendously. She is definitely a good person to have help you with your questions.
Thank you for sharing this, Leona! I'm thrilled to hear Ivy was able to assist you and answer your questions about your order! I'd be happy to share your wonderful review with her!
Jess was amazing when I was scared and little upset.
Hi Demetria, I appreciate you writing a review of Jess's amazing service! I hope you continue to enjoy our meals and service!
I signed up for convenience & dietary purposes hoping it would help with both issues. Tried the Chicken, Macaroni & cheese & green beans first thinking it was the most generic dish I had ordered. I was very excited to try freshly! Oh the first bite of chicken I was ready to spit it out. But I didn't I tried to tolerate it, it was like soggy rubber. Then I tried the veggie, it was waxie but needed salt. Next Mac & cheese just awful. I just kept eating it one bite at a time with a lot of pepper. Probably just me.other people might LOVE it! A few days later I tried another one and I didn't like it either. So that's when I decided I had to cancel my subscription because it was not going to get any better. But I tried it with high hopes. I was very disappointed

Explained the meal selection process and changed the selections for me for the upcoming order
Angela, I'm glad to see you were assisted to your satisfaction! Thank you for sharing your Freshly experience with us!
Meals are always on time - i just wish they had less of the lower calorie options (no one wants a meal under 400 calories) and more fish options!
Wow, two years?! Thank you for being such a loyal member of the Freshly fam, Nana! I'll be sure to pass along your suggestions to our chefs! I hope you continue to enjoy Freshly for more years to come! Cheers!

Excellent customer service. They were very responsive when I had an issue with an order.
Thanks for sharing this amazing review, Melissa! I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying our service! I hope you continue to enjoy Freshly!
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.
