Choose the delivery address before you choose meals
A moving-week order only helps if it reaches the address where someone can receive and refrigerate it. Do not choose the old address, new address or a gift recipient by habit. Use the address that fits the available checkout timing, and share tracking with the person responsible for the handoff.
Build the order around the move schedule you know today. Recheck checkout timing if the schedule changes.| Moving stage | Confirm first | Useful order decision |
|---|
| Before the kitchen is packed | Which meals need covering and how much refrigerator or freezer space is available. | Choose a small number of current items that fit the people and storage space. |
|---|
| Packing and loading days | Which appliance, utensils and cold storage will remain accessible. | Select items whose label directions work with that setup. |
|---|
| Move day | Where the household will be when a perishable order arrives. | Avoid an unattended address or a day when nobody can refrigerate the food. |
|---|
| First days after arrival | Whether the new refrigerator, freezer and reheating appliance are working. | Wait to ship if safe receiving and storage are not ready. |

Confirm five details before ordering
- People and meals: count who will eat the food and which breakfasts, lunches or dinners are actually uncovered.
- Live item details: compare current prices, portions, ingredients and available nutrition; availability can change.
- Appliances: check the selected item's label directions against the microwave or oven that will be accessible.
- Address and timing: confirm eligibility and the available arrival estimate at checkout; carrier timing can vary.
- Cold storage: reserve enough refrigerator or freezer space before the order arrives.
Do not assume every meal has the same reheating time
Meals are fully cooked, but portions and preparations differ. Follow the label on the exact item instead of using one blanket time for the whole menu. Keep the needed appliance and a basic utensil accessible, and review the reheating guide for general handling steps.
Plan the perishable handoff
The USDA mail-order food-safety guide says to alert a recipient about a perishable delivery, open it promptly and check that it arrives frozen, partly frozen with ice crystals, or refrigerator-cold at 40°F or below. If it arrives above 40°F, do not taste it; contact the company. Put the meals into working cold storage and follow each item's label.
If a refrigerator is unplugged, in transit or not yet working, arrange another safe cold-storage location before delivery. FoodSafety.gov advises discarding many perishable refrigerated foods after more than two hours above 40°F; do not rely on appearance or taste to judge safety.
Build a small plan for the confirmed gap
- Mark the days when shopping, cooking or cleanup will be impractical.
- Subtract any meals already covered by travel, friends, takeout or groceries.
- Use the live menu to choose portions and items the household can eat.
- Check that the selected address, arrival estimate and storage plan still fit the move.
- Share tracking and arrival instructions with the person receiving the order.
A smaller first order can be easier to receive and store during a changing schedule. For a longer kitchen shutdown, use the kitchen-remodel meal planner. For stocking food after appliances are running, compare family freezer meals and the storage space they require.
Sending meals as a moving or housewarming gift
Ask before sending food. Confirm the recipient's address, move dates, preferences, allergens, appliance access and cold-storage space. Enter the recipient's information at checkout, add a gift note if desired, and send the tracking details to the person who agreed to receive the order. The meal-gift guide has a broader recipient checklist.
Dedicated gluten-free does not mean allergen-free
SmashMeals prepares food in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen with no shared gluten-containing production equipment. Other allergens are handled in the facility, and ingredients vary by item. Review the exact meals and our kitchen and allergen information; ask before ordering when anything is unclear.

How ordering works
- 1. Pick your meals Browse the menu that's live this week and choose what you want. No recurring subscription is required — order one week, every week, or whenever you need it.
- 2. Choose how you get them Free preorder pickup at locations offered during checkout, $15 home delivery in the Tri-Cities, or $35 flat-rate FedEx Ground for eligible addresses. Choose your preorder pickup point during checkout; Grab & Go retail inventory is sold separately. Orders close Thursday 11:59 PM Eastern.
- 3. Heat and eat Meals are fully cooked and ready to heat. Local pickup and delivery meals arrive fresh, never frozen; shipped meals are flash-frozen for transit. Follow each item's storage and reheating directions.
- Dedicated gluten-free kitchen — We do not bring wheat, barley, or rye into the building and we do not share equipment with gluten-containing production. A dedicated gluten-free facility is not an allergen-free facility — check each label for other allergens.
- Transparent nutrition — Many current menu listings include calories and macros. Check each selected meal's label and ask for any ingredient or nutrient detail you need to make a choice.
- Cooked in Kingsport since 2017 — Founder-run production kitchen at 1917 Meadowview Parkway, Kingsport, TN — the same kitchen for local pickup, local delivery, and shipped orders.
Moving Week Meal Delivery Questions
- What should we eat when the kitchen is packed?
- Choose food that fits the appliances, utensils and cold storage you will actually have. For SmashMeals, compare the live menu and follow the exact item's label directions; reheating time is not identical across every meal.
- Should I ship meals to the old address or the new address?
- Use the eligible address where someone can receive and refrigerate the perishable order based on the arrival estimate shown at checkout. Recheck the plan if your move date changes, and share tracking with the responsible recipient.
- How far in advance should I order moving-week meals?
- Start by checking the current ordering window and the arrival estimate available for the selected address. Carrier timing can vary, so do not promise a date or plan around an estimate you have not confirmed at checkout.
- Do all SmashMeals meals reheat in two or three minutes?
- Do not use one blanket time for every item. Portions and preparations differ. Follow the storage and reheating directions on the exact meal label and confirm that its required appliance will be available.
- What if the refrigerator at the new home is not working yet?
- Wait to schedule a perishable order or arrange another working refrigerator or freezer before delivery. Someone should receive the box promptly, check that it is still frozen or refrigerator-cold, and store it according to the item labels.
- Can I send moving-week meals to someone else?
- Yes, at an eligible address, but ask first. Confirm dietary needs, appliance access, cold-storage space and who will receive the box. Add a gift note if desired and share the tracking details.
