Customer Comments & Reviews
Freshly Meal Delivery review
Food is good, if it arrives. For the past two weeks the meals were delivered a day late, and spoiled.
Today’s delivery was left out on my driveway in the Arizona sun.
Truly bad service.
Freshly Meal Delivery review
Had three meals from Freshly this week. We would reorder each one of them, as they were appealing to the vision and very tasty. Finally ... a food meal plan that has real taste!
Blue Apron Meal Delivery review
We have been a Blue Apron customer for over six years. During these years, the mishaps (e.g broken containers, missing ingredients) have been minor and quickly resolved. The meals are easy and quick (about 30 mins) to prepare. What I enjoy the most is the quality and variety of ingredients. Also, I love cooking with lesser known ingredients without having to buy a whole box...e.g. ras el hanout, saffron, Szechwan peppercorns.

Freshly Meal Delivery review
The 6-meal plan was ideal for me after surgery when preparing meals was not possible. The variety of meal choices, quality of ingredients and ease in preparation kept me a satisfied customer until I was able to prepare my own meals again.
Blue Apron Meal Delivery review
We enjoyed Blue Apron for several months. We decided to cancel this weekend, due to their policy of so-called free dinners for friends. I tried to send a free dinner to my aunt in Florida. I told it was free, and that they would want you to sign up, etc., but to just enjoy the food, and if she liked it, to join up.
I was so embarrassed when she wrote me back and said that Blue Apron required her to give them them her account number before they would send the food. We felt this to be very rude, and "SNEAKY" to get people to have a so-called FREE DINNER.
Blue Apron, you really dropped the ball on this one, and I'm sure you'll bury this one in a pile of others.
Freshly Meal Delivery review
Delicious meals delivered right to my door. I ordered the turkey, pork chop, meatballs, meatloaf, pasta and BBQ chicken. My husband and I, who eat light, shared each meal after we each added a salad on the side. I froze the meals and they are reheating perfectly. I like the fact that the meals are ready to eat, no cooking! I paused the meal delivery until we eat all of the meals and then I will order again. I like that I can pause the subscription and restart.
Blue Apron Meal Delivery review
My wife ordered us Blue Apron because we've been so busy with work and trying to get everything in order. Plus, neither of us are really good cooks. This was the perfect program to help us be able to learn how to cook and make decent meals. I know I was tired of take out and so was she!!
