Fresh Direct- anyone use it?

[slackerinabox]

I'm thinking about placing my first order tomorrow. Do they give you an apx delivery time or do you have to wait around all day? It's a little pricey but they have some items that I can't get locally.

Thanks for any info

They're not 15minutes away, but they don't delivery here. 🙁

Groceries delivered to your home. I could just go to the supermarket but some of their items are hard to find, such as prime cuts of meat (I have no idea where I can find a decent butcher in Brooklyn).

That's crazy... Never thought I'd see the day when groceries were being delivered.

they give you like 2 hour window or something.

It was great when I used them, i used them a few times, the food was usually very fresh, and i didn't experience any problems with them

I've ordered fairly regularly for nearly a year. It's a little hard to eat $40 of groceries in a week if you don't pack lunch. The food is very fresh, and I was able to get a no-questions-asked refund on a spoiled carton of soy milk.

They give you a 2-hr window (I order 2 days before delivery, and some slots are full), but they've been up to an hour off on either side, around 3-4 times total.

Using it for a bout a year. Same story as Flatscan, including FD being good about their occasional screw-ups (e.g. rotten red bell pepper or late delivery). They've only been late once.

That was common years ago. Problem is that the delivery boy expected a dime tip.

Same here, but they are very expensive compared to my local grocer stores 🙁
