FAQ
What is Freshever's freshness guarantee?
We stand behind every box we deliver. If any item arrives damaged, spoiled, or doesn't meet our freshness standards, send us a photo within 24 hours of delivery and we'll replace it with something in your next box at no charge.
You can reach us through the contact form on our website or chat. We handle these directly and quickly — because trust matters more than a single piece of fruit.
When Does Freshever Deliver?
Freshever delivers fresh Ontario produce boxes across the Greater Toronto Area every week — including Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Etobicoke, Scarborough, North York, Pickering, and Ajax. To receive your order within the current week, sign up before our weekly order deadline: Tuesday at 11:55 PM Eastern Time (8:55 PM Pacific Time). Orders placed after the deadline will be scheduled for the following week's delivery.
To find your designated delivery day, visit our Delivery Area page and enter your postal code.
Delivery hours are typically between 12:00 PM and 9:00 PM local time. Because we optimize delivery routes by neighbourhood to reduce carbon emissions and our environmental footprint, we're unable to guarantee a specific time slot. On the day of your delivery, our team will send you the most accurate estimated window — just make sure your phone number is saved in your account.
Our driver will ring your doorbell or knock upon arrival. Prefer a contactless drop-off? Just let us know and we'll make a note for your deliveries.
How does billing work?
The Freshever program is a subscription program. This means that you will be automatically billed on the credit card you use at checkout for the frequency you select. You can choose from a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly schedule. You will be billed on the every Tuesday at 11.59 PM before your next delivery. If you're looking to skip, pause, or cancel your order - be sure to do so before Tuesday at 11:59pm the week before your next delivery. You can manage your subscription by visiting the Subscription Portal by logging into your account and clicking on the 'Manage Subscription' button at the top of your screen.
How does Freshever keep prices lower than Toronto supermarkets and big delivery apps?
Freshever reduces grocery costs by up to 50% by sourcing directly from local Ontario farmers and distributors, bypassing the expensive retail middleman. Unlike apps like Instacart, we don't mark up individual item prices or charge hidden service fees. Our batch-delivery model in the GTA further lowers costs, passing those savings directly to our customers.
How much does Freshever delivery cost?
Freshever charges a flat $2.99 delivery fee to every postal code we serve across the Greater Toronto Area. No hidden service fees, no markup on individual items, and no tipping expected — unlike Instacart, Voilà, or PC Express where fees, markups, and tips can add 30-40% to your bill.
First-time customers can use code WELCOME15 for 15% off their first order. Our boxes start at $14.40 for the Small Veg Box on subscription, making it easy to try without committing.
Can I change my delivery day?
Not yet. We batch suburb delivery days together to minimise carbon emissions and keep costs low. Wednesday covers Toronto Core and North York. Thursday covers Scarborough, Pickering, and Ajax. Friday covers Etobicoke, Mississauga, Brampton, and Vaughan. We plan on offering a second delivery day soon.
Is Freshever packaging eco-friendly?
Yes. We offer two types of sustainable packaging based on your order type:
• Reusable Bags (Subscribers): Frequent customers receive insulated bags that are collected and reused in a closed-loop system.
• Recyclable Cardboard (One-time): Single purchases are shipped in eco-friendly, biodegradable cardboard boxes.This approach reduces waste and ensures your food stays fresh without harming the planet.
