If before ordering products at home was not so popular, now it is becoming a necessity for many. Home quarantine in connection with the coronavirus makes adjustments to our lives and forces us to visit less places where there is a risk of meeting potential carriers of the infection.
How to order groceries with home delivery correctly? Especially if you’ve never done it. Let’s figure it out.
Immediately, we note that there are many delivery services, especially in big cities. In addition, now many restaurants and cafes, which also have to close their doors to visitors, such as schools and kindergartens, shopping centers, are ready to deliver food on demand. Therefore, if you have a favorite restaurant and you are worried that you can no longer visit it, ask if it is possible to order food with home delivery there.
That is, you can order food directly at the place that delivers (a large supermarket or restaurant, bakery) or you can use food delivery services. The latter are convenient in that, having installed the mobile application, you monitor the fulfillment of your order, and you can also order the delivery of goods from different places – shops, pharmacies.
What you need to remember
When ordering products with home delivery, check out the limitations of the selected service or store. For example, some do not deliver orders over 30 kg at a time. And if your purchases amount to more than 30 kg., They will be “split” into 2 orders, so be prepared for double payment.
Also find out how much it will cost to deliver the order. As a rule, if you buy for a certain amount (at different points it ranges from 100 to 1000 UAH), then the company is ready to pay for the courier’s labor at its own expense. If the amount of your order is small, then you pay for the courier yourself (as a rule, from 25 UAH.)
How quickly the order is processed
Differently: you can receive what you ordered in an hour or wait about 9 hours from the moment of order confirmation. Advice – try to place an order in the morning, then there is a high probability that you will receive it in the afternoon, daily orders, respectively, expect to be in the evening, but you can get evening orders already in the morning.
Bonuses and chips
Learn about them! Almost every delivery service has them. For example, for an order in 2 places at once (you and your parents), you will receive a discount. services are awarded orders on their birthday, as well as the first orders. They give a discount for orders to one house, as well as for your recommendation of the service to friends.
Enjoy your shopping!
