As a office lady,I was completely agree to use online grocery delivery.I have no time to go to the shopping.So I usually use the mobile phone app to buy the thing.If you worried the grocery delivery will come late or the food is not fresh.You can set the time or append the note in the app.I think the grocery delivery that is very convenience

  Yes ,I buy food at the store or supermarket or morning market. I never use an online grocery delivery service to get my food.



  My opinions are the same to Dominique’s. it is inconvenient to buy food and vegetables and something to eat. I consider the time and the money. Of course , the fresh is also important.



  The first, as a housewife, I hope buy the best more things with the least money. If I may buy things myself I can save the tip.



  The second, if I want some things, I hope I get them at once. The grocery delivery may deliver produce to many persons at the same time. He need to send them one by one.  I must wait him. The waiting time is uncertain.



  The third, as the article said, when I found the thing which the delivery had have arrived at my door was not exactly what I wanted or bad or something, I could refuse to accept it ,but then, I need to continue waiting . it was so waste time.



  So ,I don’t use an online grocery delivery to buy food.



 Of course, the most important is that I have enough time to go shopping and to pick up my wanting food.
