Freggies FAQs

• Can I get Freggies at work?
  Yes, and Yes! You can set your delivery address to your work address or get your coworkers fired up about Freggies...
  
  
• Do you have any quick, easy and healthful recipes?
  Yes, we periodically post our favorites here. If you have some recipes that you would like to share, please send them to us!
  
  
• What comes in a FregPick?
  We pick what goes into a FregPick box. To see a sample of what may come in a FregPick: Mixed Fruit & Veggie. The beauty of a FregPick is it is inexpensive and you can set it up to automatically show up once a week or every-other week! Note that the contents of the FregPick can change at any moment based on produce availability.
  
  
• Do I have to be home to receive my delivery?
  For a regularly scheduled delivery, you should be home to receive your order; however, we can simply leave your order in a designated location (should be shaded & cool). Just indicate a location when you place your order.
  
  
• How does my produce stay fresh during delivery?
  At Freggies, the quality of your produce is our biggest concern. We carefully control the conditions in which your products are stored and transported, right up until the moment you receive them. Fresh items stay chilled and frozen items remain frozen. If we are delivering on an especially warm day and you do not plan to be home to meet us, consider leaving a damp towel (full size) that we can use to cover your produce.
  Additionally, we work closely with local vendors to ensure your produce is as fresh as possible. We want to deliver produce to you as soon after harvesting as possible.
  
  
• Is Freggies organic produce locally grown?
  We like to say that all of our organic produce is local to someone. Of course we do our best to use local farms when possible but some of the time we have to go elsewhere to get the variety that our members want year round. We only work with certified organic growers.
  
  
• Your pricing seems low for organic produce. How & why do you do that?
  Our prices are lower because we purchase direct and we don't have the high overhead expenses of a grocery store. We just have delivery trucks!
  We do however ask that you realize that you should expect about five percent of your order to be bad when you get it. This may sound astounding but the reality is that we can't see through the produce skin. Sometimes produce can taste bad even though it looks fine on the outside. Sometimes a bad piece sneaks through our eagle eyes or is hidden within a box. This is part of the nature of this business. Let us know of any of it that you see right away and we can credit you or add some replacement items to your next order with Freggies!
  
  
• What should I do with the boxes after I store my produce?
  Simply leave it out for us on the next delivery day and we will pick it up. Or, you can keep a few of them and set them out periodically. Whatever works best for you. If a box is broken or damaged, please recycle it for us and the community!
  
  
• Should I tip my driver?
  It is really up to you. Our standards of quality are very high so you should expect the best! If you feel like you see something extraordinary, we would love to hear about it. We are also very interested in constructive feedback on how we can make your life better through this service.
  
  
• I am unhappy with a product I received. What should I do?
  We delay in processing your credit card charge until the morning after delivery. We require you to contact us the same day as delivery if there is a problem with your order. We may occasionally call to check on the quality of the produces and service but we customarily assume you are super happy if we don't hear from you by phone or email on the day of delivery. There are many variables with a perishable product but our approach is to do whatever it takes to make things right. Please know that you should expect a small percentage of your produce to have perished at or near delivery.
  
  
• You don't carry an item I want!
  Please let us know about the items you want. We pick from a list of hundreds of available items each week in an attempt to provide the most common and popular items. We do accommodate special orders. The best thing to do is email your request to info@freggies.com and simply let us know what you are looking for and the quantity. We will bend over backwards to accommodate these requests. If you know well in advance (a week or two) that you will need something, please try to let us know as soon as possible.
  
  
• I didn't get all of my order, what happened?
  There are two reasons that are most common that will cause a shortage or missing items in your planned order. The first is that the quality of the items does not meet our standards. In these cases we do not deliver that particular item. Or, it may be that the item is not available. Remember that we only offer organic produce and it is not as commonly available as conventional produce so at times we are transitioning farms or a crop may simply not be available. We will note on your order sheet the items that are not available and of course will remove them from your order before finalizing the order.
  
  
• Where do you deliver and when will you start delivering in my neighborhood?
  We currently offer free home delivery to most of the greater Seattle neighborhoods. Search from our home page, for a specific zip code.
  
  
• Order timing
  Please plan to complete your order by noon the day prior to the delivery day. You may also complete it several days in advance. Example: If the delivery day for your community is Friday then you need to complete your order no later than noon on Thursday.
  We are expanding our free delivery service as fast as possible. Please let us know where you live and that you'd like us to deliver to your neighborhood. Below is the process for getting Freggies to your neighborhood.
  We first need someone in the area to sign up as a FregRep. Then we request the FregRep to compile a petition including 40 families (first+last name, address, phone & email that commit to using Freggies). Once we have these items, we can normally begin service in your neighborhood quickly.
  
  
• My home (such as an apartment or condominium) uses controlled access. Do I need to do anything special?
  You need to meet us or provide an alternate delivery location if your home has controlled access.
  
  
• How late can I place an order and still get my order the next day?
  For most delivery regions, orders are required by noon for delivery the next day. Note that residential delivery is limited to once per week.
  
  
• What will my delivery driver look like?
  Our drivers always wear Freggies branded clothing. If you see them they should be close to one of our white delivery vans which will have the Freggies logo on the side of it.
  
  
• Is there a minimum order size?
  We do not require a minimum order but please keep in mind that we lose money on orders under $40. In general, we don't mind an occasional order that is less than $40 but if we get too many of them, we will have to make some changes.
  
  
• Is all the produce organic?
  Yes, Freggies supplies all organic produce! You can also view a list of sample products.
  
  
• I live in a multi-family dwelling (apartment, condo, etc.). Does Freggies deliver to this sort of residence?
  Yes! We can deliver to you but we actually prefer not to. There is simply so much risk in the delivery being lifted by an unintended recipient that we would prefer to deliver to you at work. If you do choose home deliver in a multi-family environment then you accept the risk if the order is misplaced. We also cannot delay in our delivery and routing to wait to meet or wait for access beyond a security door so the delivery will be left at the common entrance inside if we have quick and easy access.
  
  
• What is a Franchise Partner and can I become one for my neighborhood?
