Grocery delivery isn't new. The convenience of having your groceries delivered will be a part of our future. My friend, a 36-year-old mom of 2 beautiful baby girls, has been using Amazon Fresh for a few years, even before she became a mom. She used it regularly at work (we'll talk about same-day delivery in a bit). When she was pregnant, grocery delivery was a big help.
How Amazon Fresh Works
You use their website to select items and fill your cart. At checkout, you choose a DELIVERY Date and a 2-Hour Window.

Pros and Cons
One of the advantages of Amazon Fresh is a BROAD PRODUCT RANGE. In addition to Whole Foods and 365-branded products, you have items that you can find at major grocery stores that are NOT available at Whole Foods. Prices are reasonable
RELIABILITY is another advantage. Orders were always on time and never late. There are no problems with missing items. The produce quality is fresh. It's like you picked them yourself at the grocery. If you forget to add an item or realize there's something else you need after placing an order, you can edit or cancel up to a particular time before delivery.
Cons
There is so much packaging when you recieve your delievery. Everything is packed up in boxes and insulated bags for frozen foods. That is because they fulfill orders from a warehouse rather than a local store or a fulfillment center. There is no option for bulk bin items. Same-day delivery is usually not available. However, if you place an order first thing in the morning, maybe you get it by night.
What If I Bought Ice Cream?
Will I get ice cream or vanilla juice when it arrives? When you order refrigerated foods, expect to get frozen bottles of water. Frozen foods are packed in an insulated pouch with an ice pack, while a frozen bottle of water is nestled against refrigerated items to keep them cool.
It is worth mentioning that a 10% tip is added to your order, though you have the option to edit that.
If you need to restock your wine fridge or grab a six-pack for the weekend, you’re out of luck. Amazon Fresh does not offer wine or beer.
