It seems like Amazon will be in a better position to offer fresh products in the long term than a grocery store.

It seems like Amazon will be in a better position to offer fresh products in the long term than a grocery store.
- eclipxe 11y 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.
