    Does anybody here order their groceries online? We've just got an RFP through for a store here that I have been dying to get my hands on. Their site is absolutely the worst e-commerce experience I have ever had.

    Please share with me the good sites that you use, and if you feel so inclined, how they make your life easier with features and functionalities that make your online shopping experience a happy one!

    I would like the option of just ordering the same thing I did the week before to save time.

    • Fresh Direct offers that feature.

    I do it all the time. In NYC we have Fresh Direct (www.freshdirect.com) and they are amazing. The produce is actually better than what you'd normally find in the grocery store as it is hand picked before the stores even get their deliveries. The prices are also very comparable.

    • a lot better than what is found in brooklyn. we dont have a super market in my neighborhood.– e-pill1/2

    One of the best features I enjoy about Fresh Direct is the ability to schedule a delivery between 8-11pm, or between 6-9am (around normal business hours).

    The ability to modify an order once it's been placed is also great. I always forget to add something, and it's nice to be able to go online and edit the order before it's delivered.

    • How long before the delivery can you edit it?– jevad1/2
      I think up until 10pm the night before...I believe they spend the night packing the orders.– monospaced2/2

    I've always found it a bit sketchy in the way that, I don't get to see the produce / meat that I'm buying.. I don't know who's choosing it, and i don't know their aptitude in judging a good piece of fruit, or meat etc. Although, if I lived in NYC, I would use freshdirect.

    brains,

    Fresh Direct actually boasts food experts who hand-choose the produce for you (on your specifications, too), and expert butchers for meat and fish. You can get very detailed. My experience is that they are better than any grocery store in this department, surpassing even my highest expectations (and I love gourmet).

    • and since they stock the highest quality, you don't really have to "see" it first– monospaced1/2
      wow, I sound like I work for them– monospaced2/2

    I used Stongs.com The site is really basic, and a little long winded when making your grocery list, but didn't stop me from using their service for a year.

    -After the first 2 deliveries,I stopped ordering fruits or veg from them though. They always sent me the crap stuff that didn't make it on the shelves at the store.

    maybe the opposite of what you asked, but... i've used some of the grocery deliveries in hong kong before, and have had a lot of problems. mainly orders that have the absolute wrong items or just some items that don't come at all.

    so for me, i would like to know directly the item i am ordering is going to the be the right one, otherwise it shouldn't be unavailable. none of this replacing for other similar stock shit.

    also, they lack good images. it would be nice to see higher res images.

    • i mean shouldn't be available...– ephix

    I don't order the delivery. I like going to the store, because there are some way sexy babes working the cash registers.
