You also can't get alcohol. They've been pretty smart with what they do and don't allow - makes it much more flexible than Instacart in terms of logistics on their end. It means they can just dump everything on your doorstep if you're not home.
I've noticed they do have some "fresh" things now, like bread, but that's it - no refrigerated things or other things that may spoil. I did have an issue one time ordering fresh bread and they missed the delivery window and delivered it the next day, by which time it was stale. A minor glitch though, but shows why they're so conservative about what they deliver.
- seanflyon 12y agoDo you know why they don't deliver alcohol?
- tsycho 12y agoProbably because alcohol requires an above-21 person to sign and receive the delivery, which adds complications to GSX if no one is home when they deliver.
- proexploit 12y agoThey do now. I've ordered it. If I had to guess, I imagine it's not a legal requirement you want to tackle right away when you're just getting started.
- mech4bg 12y agoSo they do! That's interesting. Did you have to be home to take delivery for it? Also it doesn't look like they've added it for Costco which is a shame.
