January 6, 201412 yr I just signed up for his grocery delivery service; it's excellent. Has anyone else used it?
January 6, 201412 yr Not me. I like to choose my own food, not have someone else pick the bananas or steaks for me.
January 6, 201412 yr Active Members I like to shop in person several times a week. I carefully look at the week's various store coupons and react accordingly. Regardless, like Charlie PSP, I like to choose my own groceries. Best regards, RA1
January 6, 201412 yr I hate shopping. I tried other services, but didn't like them. Amazon, so far, as done an excellent job.

January 7, 201412 yr It occurs that if I ever take up residence in a 4th-floor walk-up, this service will be a godsend. Assuming they schlep all the way to one's door.
January 7, 201412 yr Active Members The convenience would be great but I think I would miss going to the market, plus as others have said selecting fruits, veggies and meats that are appealing to me. Maybe once in a while it would come in handy but not as a regular thing for me. Initially I thought maybe it could be a solution to my problem of impulse buying while shopping but perhaps that would not be the case as it could be easy to get carried away with clicking on many things that look interesting.
January 7, 201412 yr Active Members I wasn't thinking of the low rise aspect as much as the walk-up aspect. I know Mr. Otis is not unknown in NC. Best regards, RA1

January 9, 201412 yr Active Members I order quite a few specialty food products(dry goods) via Amazon. However I have found the prices to be higher than I can find in fancy grocery stores. Add in the careless handling of packages by FedEx and I would not be too quick to order everyday grocery items via amazon.
January 9, 201412 yr Active Members I think Fresh deliveries are handled by an in-house Amazon delivery service.

Add in the careless handling of packages by FedEx and I would not be too quick to order everyday grocery items via amazon. The trucks that deliver the food are decked out in Amazon livery. The company has distribution centers in LA county and in San Francisco. They've started somewhere else, but I forget where. My third delivery arrives tomorrow. I can order as late as 10 pm--up to 2200--and can schedule delivery as early as 0700. So far, so good.
January 10, 201412 yr Active Members The company has distribution centers in LA county and in San Francisco. They've started somewhere else, but I forget where. They also are serving the Seattle area. I've been intrigued by this even though not in my area. It really does seem to be set up very well for those whose primary interest is convenience and what you can order seems to be quite extensive (originally I thought it might be of limited selection but the site indicates over 500,000 items), even wine, beer and spirits. How great would it have been to have this available here in the mid-west during this recent cold spell we've been having. Once this comes to my area I'll be one step closer to never having to leave my house Just need Amazon to have a service for house calls by doctors and dentists, lol
January 10, 201412 yr [...] Just need Amazon to have a service for house calls by doctors and dentists, lol And don't forget...escorts!
January 14, 201412 yr Active Members And now for the rollout! "While it might be a nice surprise to receive a free, unexpected groceries on your doorstep, some San Francisco residents are a bit puzzled as to why Amazon is pushing its new Fresh delivery service with free bags of very unfresh items. A can of Coke, mushroom soup and fish taco seasoning? Dinner is served!"

January 15, 201412 yr Active Members I prefer to personally select those items with which I may elect to become intimate.
