I believe they will compete more with Aldi and not regular grocery stores that offer everything.
As long as grocery stores still offer fresh fruit, meat, deli, florist etc...I will go there. If I need a box of cereal I will spend the extra $.50 for the convenience.
But on a day I just need basic necesities, Aldi or Amazon here I come!
- foota 10y agoIt seems like Amazon will be in a better position to offer fresh products in the long term than a grocery store.
- eclipxe 10y agoLet's call it AmazonFresh
- TeMPOraL 10y agoI can already imagine seeing it on my Kindle: > Most customers who bought this book were eating while reading: > - Fresh Honeycrisp Apple, $0.99 (instant drone delivery under 15 minutes, free for Amazon Prime customers)
- chii 10y agoI can't imagine ordering fresh produce without first seeing or touching it. Boxed goods like cereal is OK to order online, but I want to pick out the unbruised, best pieces of fruit of veg.
- rickyc091 10y agoI actually use amazon fresh's delivery service and I can tell you they don't send bruised fruit/vegetables. FreshDirect here on the East coast has long solved this problem as well. They move merchandise so quickly that it never gets a chance to bruise. It's always guaranteed freshness. I will say that sometimes you won't get the sweetest piece of fruit though.
- fizgig 10y agoMeal-in-a-box outfits like Blue Apron seem to have mostly solved this problem. Of the 3 or 4 test orders I received from 2 such services, the produce was generally in excellent condition.
