Alex B. Was very helpful in getting my situation resolved. I am happy to have interacted with a real person and not a robot! I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I deal with humans because it is not very frequent anymore
And I love you, James! Not only for the shout-out to Pink but also for the warm words you shared on our meals and customer service! I hope you continued to be WOW'ed with us on both fronts. Thank you for taking your time to review Pink!
Customer has always been above and beyond helpful. Thank you for everything! Unfortunately we need to cancel due to financial reasons but everything was wonderful and would definitely reactivate if the near future allows. Thank you all!
Melissa, awesome to hear of the efficient and quick service! I'm so happy to know you were well taken care of! Thank you for the feedback!
I signed up for one subscription, but I somehow got two. I tried to cancel the second subscription, but they were still going to send me food and charge me money. I did the live chat and Nikki was there to help me. She quickly canceled the second subscription, stopped the shipment, and refunded my money! Thank you so much for your help!
Stephen, on rare occasions someone might accidentally create a second subscription, but I'm very pleased to know that Nikki took great care of you. Nikki never surprises me with her customer service, but it's so awesome to hear that as well from our family members! I hope you enjoy your meals!
Freshly has always been so helpful with their customer service. I spoke with Mel today and was able to get all of my questions answered.
Yay, Alexis, and yay Mel! It doesn't surprise me that if you asked Mel a question, you got the right answer back! Thank you for the shout-out as I know it will be appreciated by Mel!
Everything tasted the same. I found it unappetizing.
Hi Pamela! Thank you very much for your honest review! While I'm sad to hear we may not be a fit for you, I'll absolutely forward your feedback to our chefs and team. If I can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].
I used Freshly's toll free number for assistance with both setting up my account and canceling it when it was no longer needed. Both times, the experience was outstanding. Freshly has an excellent company model of quality food, accurate & timely order fulfillment, and great customer service! I would use them again in a heartbeat when the need arises.
Susan, while I'll miss you, I want to sincerely thank you for your kind review. It sounds as though we fit the bill when it came to having your meals delivered -- from the quality meals and on-time deliveries to the great customer service. You know you're always welcome to return, and if you do, I can tell you we'll enjoy cooking for you again!
I noticed I got two wrong meals in my last freshly box. I was worried about the time it would take to correct the problem. But jazzy was pretty quick with the response.
Sakinah, I'm sad to hear of the incorrect meals, but I'm very proud of Jassy and the awesome customer service extended to help with your issue. Thank you for your shout-out!
I've been having issues with my delivery carrier reporting my packages as delivered, but not receiving them. Freshly's customer support has been amazing in getting me helped out as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Amanda, I'm sorry to hear of the delivery issues and we'll certainly take a look into this! I'm very happy to hear that our customer service was exemplary in assisting you!. Thank you for letting us know your honest review.
I was missing a meal in my box, Jassy helped get this corrected and added a credit to my account for the trouble.
I had mistakenly ordered 2 subscriptions and Nikki was super helpful and canceled my 2nd subscription. Exceptionally helpful team.
I am not surprised by how Nikki assisted you today - consistently stellar like your ratings! Thank you, Mukesh.
Wonderful experience, customer experience did a great job quickly rectifying an issue. Only -1 star because of said issue, and perhaps it'll change in the future, but would in general highly recommend these guys, as they genuinely seem to have a solid mission and a cool concept, and not to mention typically really great food.
Hi Chris! We'll continuously work on getting your 5-star rating. In the meantime, we appreciate you for sharing your thoughts and recommendation. Know that if there's anything else that we can help, reach out to us at [email protected].
I signed up after seeing a Facebook add, read a few amazing reviews with some nice recommendations, expected to receive a small discount as per add, but I didn't. I contacted customer service, was quickly helped and after all was said and done, I received an even better deal than I had expected! Thank you Nikki, I appreciate all you have done for me and I can't wait to enjoy my first meal! Thank you again!
Pink quickly solved my issue and picked up where my last customer service rep had left off.
Indeed, Pink deserves a shoutout for her excellent service! We'll be sure to let her know how much you appreciate it. A million thanks for this 5-star rating, Laura!
Arjen was very helpful and my problem was resolved since the first time my refund apparently didn't process.
Jassy gave me great customer service and helped me work out any questions or needs I had.
Had to skip an order this week as leaving for vacation, and forgot. Pink was very kind, and helped me correct the order after the deadline. Thanks!
I'm so thrilled to hear that Pink was of great assistance! Thanks for your stellar feedback, Zane!
Resolved my issue in rewards to a swapped meal the help was much appreciated
I'm grateful to hear that we satisfactorily addressed the issue and everything flowed smoothly. Thank you for your review, Rich!
Thanks for the awesome review, Carrie! We're so happy to hear that our team was able to help. Have a great day, Freshly Fam!
I tried Freshly back in September to try to have some easy options for healthy foods in single portions. I signed up for the 12 meal plan because it was the most economical (although still approx $9 per meal) and excitedly picked a range of meals from the expansive online menu. I had to wait about 10 days for the first delivery in order to snag a Sunday.
The food arrived on time, but in a ridiculously large, heavy box, which I had to lug up 4 floors into my walkup apartment. I promptly unpacked it because it took up so much space and was leaking, and dragged the bag out to the trash.
From the first meal through the last, the food was thoroughly disappointing. Everything was salty and had a strange, acrid flavor to it. Some of the meat was ok (particularly the steak pecorino) but the rest of it was about the quality and consistency of a microwave meal. The vegetables and sides (mostly grains) were limp, soggy, and the portions were sparse.
I forced myself to finish all 12, to justify the money that I had spent and promptly cancelled my subscription.
Thank you for your review, Emily! I appreciate your feedback, and I'm sorry to hear that you didn't fully enjoy our service. We're working diligently to improve our meals though, so I will be sure your message reaches our team members! We'd be happy to look into this for you. Feel free to reach out to us via [email protected] at any time for additional assistance. I've also reached out to you privately regarding this issue!
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.
