Amazon Fresh (grocery delivery by Amazon)

songbird — Sun, 03 Nov 2019 02:38:54 GMT

Does anyone use Amazon Fresh? It's Amazon's grocery delivery system. We been using it since last February. It's my weekly grocery shopping. My husband tried it first. Back then it was a free trial for 4 orders. Then a charge of $14.99 per month. Now it's changed. It for free now. I select the food. It has pretty wide grocery selection (and adding more and more food) It totals the amount and you can select the tip. It's anywhere form $1.00 up to $7.00. It has nothing to do with how much food you order. Just up to you to decide the tip. I'm really impressed how the food is bagged. All the bags are insulated with (free) frozen bottles of water. We have it ordered in hot weather and cold. We have never had any spoilage or given the wrong item. You select the day and time you want your food delivered. I do it once a week. I keep my food queue up, adding things if I start to need them. You can order it for delivery that same day or any day in advance. Not just food, but paper towels, detergent, etc. They are all name brands. Price wise they are lower then the supermarket. It's a similar system to how some supermarkets such as Giant, etc which has a delivery called Pea Pod) The service has expanded to several thousand cities and towns. After each delivery, they ask you via email how the delivery was.

Interesting. We recently moved to a new state and we really miss imperfect produce. Do you get meats? I have auto ship of many non perishables already.

It's expanding everyday. Technically it's only been up and running since early this year. You put in your zip code to see if they can deliver. We tried it on a flue, and we loved it. So we kept it. Its been very successful and Amazon wants it to be operating in every state.

Thank you for posting this. I am getting ready for another surgery in a few weeks and I am totally alone. I will be unable to drive for quite some time. I checked out Amazon Fresh just the other day and it looked as if it would work for me. Yes, I understand those who say they want to do their own shopping. However, for someone who is ill, this seems like a viable option. But I did not know anyone who had used it.

Everything you local supermarket has, you can get it from Amazon. Meats, produce, fresh or frozen, eggs, butter, etc. Every kind of food. It operates as a supermarket.

Where do they get the food from? Local grocery stores?

Re: Amazon Fresh (grocery delivery by Amazon)

Msfitness — Sun, 03 Nov 2019 02:55:46 GMT

@songbird Thanks for the info! I will check it out! We have Whole Foods and I would imagine that is where the groceries would come from.

@AnnMarie-1 It's what you can find at Whole Foods. Remember, Amazon purchased it about a year ago. That's what it's based on. But you have a wide selection of food. It's not one brand of something. It's similar to what you see at a large supermarket. Amazon thinks food delivery is in the future for all. I & my husband still work. I could only do grocery shopping on weekends. Now I just order the food online.

If it were available in my area (it isn't now), I would do it in a heartbeat!

I hate having to drive to the store, try to find a parking spot, fight the crowds, and once home lug all of the bags inside.

Have the groceries brought to me?

Where do I sign up?

We have been using it for a few weeks now. I was thrilled when they emailed me that it is now free. As long as you spend $50 there is no delivery charge. You also leave a tip on the order but the delivery guys are really great and deserve one.

The quality of the food is great and I use it to fill in things especially when we are having people over and entertaining.

Good luck with your surgery @KailaS

@Anonymous032819 All of the food is delivered to your door. At the time and day you selected. You pay online with your credit card. Including the tip (if you want to tip them) So far, nothing has happened to our food. It's everything I ordered and it's in sealed containers and bags. If you want to find out about it, go to Amazon and click on Fresh.

@songbird

I just checked it out just before posting up thread, and I am definetly interested in using the service, except it is not available in my area.

Sounds interesting and I am a very big Amazon customer but I just checked and not in my area yet.

@Anonymous032819 t will eventually come in to your area. This whole service just started this past year. Amazon wants it to be a national service. Other places like Walmart has started theirs.

You should check out the food and their prices. Just make sure you are in the Fresh area. They are espanding on their food selection now.

Oh how I wish this had been around 8 years ago. It would have been so helpful to have groceries delivered to my mother since she could no longer drive,
