Online Grocery Delivery Services

I live in the Boston area and have used three different on-line delivery services in the past and present. Peapod is also available in this area through the Stop & Shop grocery stores, there was the first in this area HomeRuns by Hanniford Markets they died after the profit margin was not high enough. Then Peapod, was ok but pricy. Now I have Roche Bros. Home Delivery, excellent quality food, NEVER in all the different outfits did I get spoiled food or obviously damaged. If I did they refunded the money or replaced it on the next order.

I've been a FreshDirect customer for almost 5 years and I never visit supermarkets any more. I get produce from local farms owned and operated by real people, not agribusinesses(local=within 200 miles of NYC); CSA shares; incredibly fresh and high quality meat and fish, antibiotic-free and organic; and the usual run of things I'd pick up at the store. The convenience is wonderful, and the quality is as good as I would get at the farmers' market or a premium grocer like Citarella's. I don't have a car and I love to cook, so this is a lifesaver for me. It's fabulous for the car-free, the elderly, or the simply-too-busy-to-shop. I'll be a faithful FreshDirect customer for life!

I know you're in the USA and online grocery shopping is as outlined above, but as a resident of the UK online grocery shopping is an everyday thing. Its also a HECK of a lot cheaper than you've outlined, and nearly all the good grocery stores deliver. They also have 1 hour delivery slots.

My great aunt, who is over 90, and lives in Sacramento, CA can't get a delivery unless she spends over $100 and pays $15 for delivery. It's pretty sick.

As a disabled person, if I didn't have the online grocery delivery I'd starve.

I would love to shop for groceries online. Unfortunately, no one delivers to my area at this point.

I've used both Peapod.com and Fresh Direct. I don't order most produce from them is that I can get it from street vendors who usually have good stuff for a lot less (I live in Manhattan.) When I've ordered online instead things are often not ripe enough but that's pretty common at most grocery stores.

I used Google Express during the beta period a year ago. I was recovering from an auto accident and couldn't drive. The timing of their beta was great for me. And it was free for 6 months back then while they were trying to figure out what to charge.

They didn't deliver fresh produce, meats, etc. back then. I don't know if they do now or not.

But they did deliver staples (canned goods, detergent, potato chips, etc.). Also wine. They also delivered from a number of my local stores that I normally shopped at. Also you could enter your various rewards cards for the stores and they you would get those credits too and any discounts that might be on your account.

At least here, I saw the Google shoppers at the stores. They would come in with there list and go around the store getting the stuff. Then they went to the register like everybody else. I think now they have a special checkout in the back of some of the stores.

I live in a Chicago suburb, Oak Park, IL. I am extremely pleased with Peapod's service, freshness, and quality. Their house brands are excellent. Cost can be controlled by pacing deliveries, watching for sale items. and using coupons just like in regular stores. Strategic shopping online is fun and a lot less aggravation than parking in a crappy parking lot, pushing a cart through endless narrow aisles, searching high and low, and oh my, standing in line with aggravating people of all kinds. Deli products and produce are also fresh and excellent. I don't work for them. I'm just a real satisfied customer.

I have used free delivery from Walmart for orders exceeding $35.00. Not fresh produce or frozen goods, but bagged or boxed goods, paper products, personal care items... stuff that I am in no rush to receive so free 5 day delivery in our unincorporated area that saves me a trip into town works great.

We live in suburban New Jersey and have been using both Peapod and FreshDirect for a number of years. We've been very satisfied with both services. Any problems we have had were quickly corrected, and the food, especially produce, has been of very good quality.

I live in Oregon and Safeway is a major grocery store chain here. They also deliver groceries to your home. Usual delivery fees range from $9.95 to $12.95 depending when you want delivery. Some orders over $150 are delivered free IF you buy 5 of their items on special. I NEVER have them "save" my credit card info. - I re-enter the info. every time I order groceries online. They usually get the orders correct but mistakes are made. Credit on your next order is offered if there are any slip-ups.

I've used Peapod when I was unable to shop. It was very convenient and not too much higher in price than regular shopping. They had sale items and you could use coupons. The only thing
I didn't like was the cost of produce. It was always top of the line but costly for some reason. Overall it was a great help when I was laid up. I would recommend it to others especially if you are unable to get to a store.

No grocery delivery for me. I use COUPONS LOTS OF COUPONS plus instore discounts plus the day old meat section. I also use the store AD comes out weekly they have BUNDLES that can save a buyer up to $30.00 to $40.00 on the bill.

If I was home bound, this service would be wonderful or to busy working great.
In the ole days we used grocery and drugstore delivery. So they are just bringing back,what use to be!

Reminds me of the "good old days". My family ran a grocery store (way way back when) and this was the norm then, customer phone in order, store box and deliver, not to portch but right to kitchen table. Plus credit at 0 % interest. But I agree that this is labour intens plus vehicle maintenance. Great idea but hard to make a profit at.

I use Peapod here in CT quite often and they are always prompt and I've never gotten anything that was old, spoiled or damaged. Once some of the eggs were cracked and I called and they credited the entire carton right away.

They also take coupons. You hand them to the driver, he scans them and Stop & Shop issues the credit to your credit card.

It's a time savor and in my opinion a money savor as you're not driving, parking, walking around grabbing enticing things off shelves, loading them in and out of your car and carrying them in the house. All of which takes the big "T", time.

I appreciate Boxed online grocery service. This offers all types of groceries like cleaning supplies, multi vites, baby and health products.

How do I get notified of what is available in my area (44691)?
