Don't forget about people who don't have cars. I absolutely loved Ocado when I was living in London. Tesco's was four blocks away, and Sainsbury's a kilometer.

Don't forget about people who don't have cars.
I absolutely loved Ocado when I was living in London. Tesco's was four blocks away, and Sainsbury's a kilometer. Getting groceries home on the bus is no fun.
Damaged goods were refunded no questions asked (the yogurt pots had a habit of bursting).
If I could get the same service in this area, I'd do it at the drop of a hat.
- vidarh 14y agoI second that. We have a standing weekly order with Ocado. For those who've not experienced Ocado weekly deliveries: It's fantastic - they automatically create an order for us every week for delivery on Friday between 6pm and 7pm. The order includes items we've said to always include, excludes items we've said to never include, but other than that they create a "recommended" order based on our past shopping patterns. Usually it's a very close match and we just tweak some quantities if we've used less or more of something or want to wary our menu. We then have until about 1am on Friday to amend the order via the web interface or their mobile apps as our needs change through the week. It cuts down my total grocery shopping time to about 5 minutes a week. Everything comes sorted into color coded bags for the freezer, fridge or cupboards, and the invoice (and web site) lists the minimum number of days until the use by date of each item. I hardly shop offline any more - between Ocado and Amazon, 99% of my shopping needs are taken care of.
