Think of Freebies as a "thank you" for being a loyal customer. As you progress through your subscription, you’ll occasionally earn Free Box credits (a $78 value) to gift to friends and family. It’s the perfect way to help your inner circle kickstart their healthy habits.
Each Freebie covers the cost of a 6-meal box ($78). Your friend just covers the shipping fee. If they choose a larger plan or add any premium extras, they’ll simply pay the difference.
Redeeming a Freebie signs the recipient up for a standard Factor subscription. They can choose to keep the momentum going or cancel anytime before their next cutoff.
Head to the "Feed Friends" tab in the top right corner of your account. If you have Freebies available, you can enter your friend's email and send the invite directly.
Note: If you don't see any Freebies yet, you’ll see our Referral Program "Give & Get" offer instead, which earns you account credit!
Do Freebies expire?
Yes, so don't let them go to waste: Once a Freebie lands in your account, you have 21 days to send it. Once the referrasl is sent, they have 60 days to claim their box.
Freebies are strictly for gifting—they are about sharing the love. If you’re looking to earn credits for your own future boxes, use your Referral Link (the "Give $40, Get $40" offer) instead.
All of our meals are delivered to you in completely BPA-free CPET individual plastic containers!
CPET stands for Crystallizable PolyEthylene Terephthalate. These plastics are safe for food storage as well as heating in the microwave or oven.
We ship our meals in insulated boxes with gel packs that will keep the box at refrigerated temperatures for quite a long time! We thoroughly test them in all seasons across all climates.
Keep in mind that it is normal for the gel packs to be slightly melted by the time they arrive. This is because they release cold air into the box as they melt. The cold air does dissipate quickly when you open the box, so you should transfer the meals to the fridge immediately.
You do not need to be home to receive your meals! We ship our meals in insulated boxes with gel packs that will keep the box at refrigerated temperatures for quite a long time! We thoroughly test them in all seasons across all climates.

We deliver Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on your zip code. Our cutoff for any new or modified orders is dependent on your delivery day. For Saturday and Sunday Deliveries, the cutoff is Tuesday at 11:59 pm CT, one week prior to delivery. For all other delivery days, the cutoff will be Wednesday at 11:59 CT for deliveries the following week.
After your first order, you’ll start receiving a box of food every week! You will always have until your cutoff time to modify the order, including the meal selections, plan size, and billing and shipping information.
To ensure peak freshness, our chefs hand-prepare every meal to order. By waiting until after the weekly cutoff to source our ingredients, we guarantee you receive the highest quality produce while helping us minimize food waste.

Transparency is important to Factor, and we make it our priority to provide as much nutrition information to our customers about every ingredient in every recipe as possible.
Because an expansive amount of dietary preferences and dietary needs exist, we may not be able to accommodate specific needs. We leave it to our customers to review the ingredients and determine with their healthcare team which meals best meet their dietary needs.
Yes! Some of our meals are customizable. For example, you may have the option to swap the protein for an alternative. If a meal is eligible for customization, you'll see a dropdown menu at the bottom of the recipe preview that lets you make the change.
Keep in mind that swapping the protein can affect the meal’s nutrition and ingredient profile, which may impact the dietary category it falls under.
We love a clean planet as much as a clean plate! Here’s the quick guide to keeping it green:
Boxes: Flatten them out and toss them in your curbside recycling.
Insulation: Our Laminated Paper insulation is 100% curbside recyclable. If your box contains PET or Cotton insulation, please check your local guidelines or dispose of it in the trash. https://www.plasticfilmrecycling.org/
Meal Containers: These are BPA-free and made from #1 PET plastic, which is widely accepted in most curbside recycling programs.
Gel Packs: These are non-toxic and reusable! If you’re done with them, snip the corner, drain the non-toxic gel into the trash (avoid the sink!), and recycle the plastic film at a designated drop-off location. The contents of our gel packs are made of 99% salt water and 1% sodium polyacrylate. If you’d like, you can also donate them locally to a local Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts of America. The plastic film should not be curbside recycled, but you can find more information about where to recycle it HERE.
It is always worth checking what materials are recyclable in your area. If your town doesn't recycle certain materials, or you're interested in other options, check out Earth911 for a list of recycling facilities near you
Don't worry! It’s actually totally normal for gel packs to be slightly melted upon arrival—that’s just them doing their job by releasing cold air into the box. As long as your meals feel cool to the touch and the proteins are below 41°F, they are perfectly safe to enjoy. We have thoroughly tested our insulation to withstand different climates and seasons.
We strongly recommend you transfer your meals immediately to the refrigerator upon delivery. If anything feels warm or you have concerns, please discard them and reach out to our Customer Experience Team right away so we can make it right.
Yes. Because the Freezer Provisions items arrive in a separate box, this can be expected with any order of our Freezer Provisions items! After your Freezer Provisions purchase has been processed, you will receive an order confirmation email including details informing you of this. Additionally, you will receive an email with a tracking link for your delivery once your order has been shipped.
Rest assured, we freeze our product at peak freshness and pack them with dry ice inside an insulated box to keep them safe and cold, in case you can’t get to your delivery right away.
We freeze our product at peak freshness and pack them with dry ice inside an insulated box to keep them safe and cold, in case you can’t get to your delivery right away.
Still, despite shipping your box for maximum freshness, we recommend that you freeze your items upon receipt and do not keep your box outside for more than 6 to 8 hours after delivery.
If your Freezer Provision items appear thawed when you open the box, check for temperature:
- If your product is below 40°F for 2 hours or less, you can enjoy your items right away or place them in the freezer to enjoy at a later date.
- If your product is above 40°F, please discard the products and contact our Customer Care team for further assistance.
The health of our customers and the safety of our food has always been the #1 priority for Factor and while COVID-19 is very much top of mind to all of us these days, it is only one of many food safety concerns that the ready-to-eat meals businesses (such as restaurants, grocery stores and Factor) manage every day.
We take this responsibility seriously and always meet or exceed the ongoing guidance from the experts at CDC, FDA, USDA and Health Departments across all aspects of our business and are taking extra precautions to provide further assurance to our customers during this current pandemic.
- Our kitchen and production facility undergoes a full, “deep” sanitation daily as well as multiple sanitation cleaning of all equipment throughout the day.
- Employees are given a health screening as they arrive at work and are sent home if they are ill; all employees properly wash their hands every time they enter a food production area and always wear gloves and masks when they handle food. They are provided clean coats, which are changed at specific times during each day. Hair and beard nets have always been worn throughout our production facility with 100% compliance.
- The Factor facility is permitted by the Health Department whose standards mirror or exceed those of the USDA, FDA and Illinois Department of Health. We operate with robust quality and food safety protocols which are designed specifically for our facility. And of course, our kitchen adheres to USDA cooking/cooling temperature requirements.
- Employees who pack your weekly order wear masks and gloves when handling the packaged meals and equipment is regularly wiped down and sanitized.
Here is a link to the FDA's frequently asked questions site regarding COVID-19.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Experience Team with any questions by calling 888.573.5727.
At this time, we are unable to customize menus based on specific ingredients or macronutrient needs. However, you do have the ability to view and modify your meals each week and remove any items you don’t want.
Our menu contains a full list of ingredients and nutrition label for each meal. You would just need to log on at some point before the cutoff and do a quick check of the meals we have put in your cart. If any meals contain an unwanted ingredient, just remove them from your cart and add something else. Whatever is in your cart at 11:59 pm CT on your cutoff day will be locked in as your order for the following week.
