Shipping Times: How Long Will It Take?
After you place an order at Nutrisystem.com it will usually take up to a total of 5 business days for processing and delivery to your address assuming that you live in the Contiguous 48 states.
Frozen foods are packaged with dry ice and sent separately from non-frozen foods. Nutrisystem recommends that you unpack and put frozen foods in the freezer ASAP as they will thaw in a matter of hours after delivery.
Orders to Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico take 4-10 business days and are crazy expensive, so Nutrisystem probably doesn’t make sense if you live in these locations.
Tip: Wondering where your order is? You can find your tracking inforation on the Order History page in your Nutrisystem account. Frozen food orders will have a seperate tracking #
Shipping Cost: How Much Will You Pay?
Shipping costs depend on your order type (monthly plan or a la carte) and location:
- Standard Plans (Auto-Delivery): Nutrisystem charges a flat $9.99 per shipment for auto-delivery plans, which typically ship every 2 or 4 weeks and may include frozen foods. Some promotions include free delivery on your first order.
- A La Carte Orders: For non-auto-delivery orders, shipping costs vary. Orders under $75 for frozen a la carte items incur a $20 shipping fee, while non-frozen orders may also face standard rates unless you qualify for free shipping (leaf.nutrisystem.com).
- Advantage Plan: Popular choice for those who prefer to order a la carte as you get free shipping on $99+ orders
- Alaska, Hawaii, Canada: These areas face higher standard rates, often around $49.99 for non-Advantage orders, making Nutrisystem a questionable investment!
How to Avoid Shipping Fees:
You can usually avoid the $9.99 Nutrisystem auto-delivery shipping fee on your first order when you use a coupon.
If you are buying food a la carte consider joining Nutrisystem Advantage for free delivery on $99+ orders. There is currently a free trial so you can try it at no cost for the first 30 days. At only about $5 per month, the membership pays for itself quickly!

The good news is that there are a couple of ways to avoid paying delivery fees, especially if you are a new customer.
