Navigating COVID-19Resource SheetGroceries and Food Delivery ServicesThanks to modern technology, online shopping has become ubiquitous in recent years. Today, people can buy nearly everything online: clothes, electronics, furniture, toilet paper and even groceries. The best grocery delivery services offer everything that you can get at the store, but with the convenience of being dropped off at your home. Some of the more well-known grocery delivery services are Instacart, Amazon Pantry, Amazon Fresh, and Walmart. Many of these operate differently, usually by either putting together orders in a warehouse or using personal shoppers who go to local stores to fill the order, but all both offer a range of goods, from fresh produce to meat and seafood to non-perishables like pasta to cleaning supplies.?Some things you should keep in mind are that many grocery delivery services require individuals to create an account and choose between annual or single delivery charges. Not all stores may offer delivery to certain locations, so be sure to verify that an address is eligible for delivery before preparing an order. For some grocery stores, individuals may be able to place an order online, but must pick it up as there are no delivery options through those store locations. Be sure to verify each individual stores ability to deliver orders.
