It was so quick and easy to chat with Cassie, even if she couldn't help me with everything (I wanted to change my meals after the deadline).
Super helpful, nice and got my answers and was wishing she could do more on what she couldn't help me with.
Freshly sends an email showing your current selections. They look good so why bother to check. If you do check, you may find that the meals have randomly changed. And customer service replies with pasted, scripted responses the majority of the time, even when you ask them not to. Yes, they rotate meals. But they rotate out meals my Dad is able to eat and that he has selected for many months and that have good ratings. Customer service then says that a meal is still available and if I want to order it I still can. I say yes only to receive a response from another customer dissupport person that the meal is no longer available.
We are all human and mistakes do happen. But with Freshly, those are few and far between. They always give top notch service and recently Nikki excelled in helping me with a tiny glitch. It was handled quickly and with the utmost courtesy. I couldn't ask for better treatment. And to top it off, the meals are amazing, delicious, and so convenient.
Hi Carrie! I loved reading your philosophy of life where we're all human and make some mistakes -- no truer words! But, a sign of a caring company is what is done to address that occasional issue! I'm so glad that we assisted you to your satisfaction and that Nikki went above and beyond in providing you excellent customer service! Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you I'm very happy that you're enjoying your meals! Thank you, again!
Cassie was quick to understand my situation and rectify the problem. I have been getting weekly delivers for about the last 2 months but for my recent deliver my package never showed up even though it said it was delivered. Cassie quickly responded and was able to issue a refund to my account and report the incident to their quality assurance department. My issue was resolved with in 5minutes. No hassle at all.
My experience was great I had a very nice customer service representative Allie S. Who was very kind and patience.
Hi Electa! I'm so pumped up to hear that Allie provided her usual great customer service! Thank you for letting us know, and I'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Allie!
After the first 2 people dropped my request. I got Nik that was awesome. I got an email that said to apply my $45 credit but didn't know how. It wasn't reflected properly in my account and Nik helped me fix it! Thank you Nik
Very positive was more than pleased with the level of service
Maurice, the brevity of words, but a powerful, positive review of the service you received. I'm thankful to you for making my day!
Needed to change payment from venmo to card details. Needed to resubscribe and re-create login. Nik was fabulous, but the process is less than intuitive and WAY more difficult than it should be.
Missed order, but Nik explained everything to me. Give him a raise!
Hi Devohn! You won't hear an argument from me on giving Nic a raise! Being a wonderful customer service expert, Nic is wonderful and I'm so glad he was of assistance to you! You might be thanking Nic, but I'd like to thank you for being part of the Freshly family!
This is our first week of enjoying Freshly meals. They are very good. This evening Pink was very helpful in cancelling a duplicate subscription I had mistakenly ordered and she was able to change our selections for next week. I was very grateful since we received double of the same meals for this week--my mistake. Pink was very efficient! Often the online chats with companies can be excruciatingly lengthy.
Hi Martha! Welcome to Freshly! I see Pink is up to her normal exemplary customer service skills, and I'm very happy you received the assistance you needed. I'm very happy to hear you're enjoying your meals, and I just want you to know that we enjoy making the meals for your enjoyment. Thank you for reaching out to us with the shout-out for Pink -- I know she'll appreciate it!
I liked the food it was very good healthy great price. Customer service was very great Nik was very helpful and went above and beyond to help resolve my problem
Hi Chase! Thank you for your kind words on Nic's customer service interaction with you. I loved hearing that you felt Nic went above and beyond - that's what I like to see! Of course, I loved your wonderful compliments on the service and your meals! Thank you!
Alex F was very helpful and he did not question my concern regarding the unsolicited subscription. I truly appreciated that.
My chat agent was excellent to work with. They were very patient and worked hard to get me answers. I wish the freshly program were a little more transparent, though... I was chatting simply to see how much my next meals would cost but they hide that from you until you've already paid for it. The chat person had to do some work to investigate it. It would be nice to just see what you'll be paying, as this doesn't help foster trust in the program.
Hi Peter! Thank you for your kind words about the customer service representative who assisted you. I know it's never our intention to be confusing with our website information related to your subscription. But, I also know we appreciate any and all feedback - positive or negative - to make the customer experience more user-friendly! Rest assured, I'll absolutely forward your thoughts on the website's transparency to our IT team! Thank you for sharing!
I asked for a refund, and Justin solved this problem really fast.
Hi Jesus! 5 out of 5 stars for Justin is definitely a touchdown! Thank you so much for giving your shout-out to Justin -- I know he'll appreciate it
I received someone else's order but the customer service rep refunded me right away and gave me a credit towards a portion of my next order.
I needed to re-activate my subscription and DJ was very helpful and polite.
Hi Yvonne! Thank you so much for your 5-star review and welcome back! I'll make sure to pass along your kind words to DJ! Thank you for taking your time to review DJ!
MJ T was amazing! Our order was erroneously routed to the incorrect carrier. Not only did MJ T quickly resolve the issue by refunding us, a credit was applied to our account. More importantly, MJ T was very deliberate in sharing that our food was no longer safe for consumption. The carrier WAS instructed to discard, but we may still receive and should discard ourselves. MJ T was professional, efficient, and kind - definitely an asset to your organization!
Hi Marcy! Oh no, I'm so sad to hear of this delivery mishap. Thank you for your patience and understanding! I'm so proud of the usual great customer service I've grown used to with MJ! It sounds as though MJ hit a home run with the customer service extended, and met your satisfaction. Thank you for being part of the Freshly family!
Marge S. Very competent, very helpful in answering my question in a polite patient manner.,,,
Refreshing...
Hi Robert! I loved reading your words describing the customer service you received as being competent, helpful and polite! It sounds like Marge definitely helped you! And, thank you very much for your kind review!
Received a meal I didn't order and can't eat because it has corn. Sunny helped
Oh no, not a wrong meal! MIke, I want to thank you for your patience and understanding with that issue. I'm glad that Sunny chipped in and assisted you! Thank you for taking your time to let us know and review Sunny!
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. 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!

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.
