Opinion: Online Grocery Shopping – Seattle, USA
Young kids?
Two parents working?
We’ve used Safeway.com quite regularly (a couple of times a month, most months) over the past year or so in Seattle, and are pretty happy with the service, the quality of the food, the ordering system, the delivery options and the cost.
A quick summary:
- Ordering system: An interesting option is to simply type (or paste, or select a previously saved) free text list into Safeway’s “Express List”, separating items with carriage returns. Hit “Save & Search” and a the site makes a surprisingly useful attempt at filling your list on an item by item basis. It’s a version of the standard workflow of search-choose-search-choose-etcetera, but more along the lines of list-choose-choose-choose-etcetera.
- Quality of the food: In general, pretty good, and much the same as would have been chosen in-store
- Delivery: Reasonably priced, tiered costs based on the narrowness of the delivery window you require.
Recommended.
