Your Questions, Answered
Delivery and Pickup FAQs
What is the flat-rate shipping cost for delivery across Southern Ontario?
We offer overnight delivery of our products to most of Southern Ontario for a flat fee of $25.00 CAD. Local delivery covers Barrie and Simcoe County for a flat fee of $10.00 CAD. Free in-store pickup is also available at our Barrie location.
Can I pick up my order for free instead of paying for shipping?
Yes, free in-store pickup is available at our Barrie food shop. Just place your order through the online shop, select the pickup option at checkout, and your meals will be ready and waiting when you arrive. There are no added fees for this option. It is a great choice if you are local to Barrie or Simcoe County and want to skip the shipping cost entirely.
Which products can be shipped outside of Southern Ontario?
Our Really Good Vegan line is not subject to provincial meat-inspection regulations, which means it can be shipped nationally across Canada and internationally. Meat and dairy products are restricted to Southern Ontario due to provincial inspection rules. If you are outside the Southern Ontario delivery zone, the Really Good Vegan lineup is your best option for receiving clean-label, chef-prepared meals wherever you are located.
How do I reheat my meals once they arrive?
The recommended method is to submerge the sealed pouch in hot water for 20 to 30 minutes directly from frozen. No thawing is required. This water bath approach preserves the texture and tenderness that make these meals stand out. If a pouch has lost its vacuum seal, you can remove the contents from the bag and heat them gently in the microwave as an alternative.
How do I know if my meal's vacuum seal is still intact after delivery?
A properly sealed pouch will feel firm and compact with no air pockets. If you notice ice crystals forming inside the bag or the product feels loose within the pouch, the vacuum seal may have been compromised. In that case, remove the contents from the bag before heating. As long as the seal remains intact, your meals are protected from freezer burn and can maintain their quality for an extended period in your freezer.
Are the meals already cooked, or do I need to prepare them from scratch?
Every meal is fully cooked before it is flash-frozen. The pouches can look similar to raw meal kits, but nothing is raw or partially cooked. Lawrence and the team prepare everything using traditional culinary techniques, then freeze the meals at their peak. When you reheat at home, you are finishing the process, not starting it. There is no prep work, no recipes to follow, and no risk of undercooking.
Is there a pickup option at the Barrie Farmers Market as well?
Yes. Without Reservations is at the Barrie Farmers Market every Saturday, where visitors can experience the brand firsthand and enjoy cooked-to-order favorites like its popular smash burgers.
