Grocery delivery in the UK is amazing! I wish it was like this everywhere. All the major chains have professional websites, nice trucks, cheap service. Delivery prices range from about £3.00 to £6.00 depending on the time of day.
Sadly, I'm moving to Canada where grocery delivery is nearly non existent. I hope amazon solves my problems there.
- sim0n 13y agoYeah, when I lived in the UK I often used major chain's delivery services (Tesco, Sainsburys, Ocado, etc) when I couldn't get to a store. Safeway has a pretty good delivery service in the US for next day grocery deliveries (pretty much as good as in the UK - apart from the website, which is pretty terrible). Though, one of the perks of living in the Bay Area is Instacart. Instacart is 100x better than the UK delivery services since they offer same day delivery that generally arrives within 2 hours (and then there's Postmates if you need things within 1 hour). They also have a subscription model like Amazon Prime Fresh where if you pay $99 a year you get free delivery for orders over $35 which is super useful.
- ultimoo 13y agoInteresting. Does this have anything to do with the fact that distances are larger in the US and a large percentage of the population rely on their own cars rather than public transport?
