Publix deliver
 

I just received my first home delivery from Publix.

Every item was in my order and was surprised they found chicken.

Whenever the shopper couldn’t find a certain item she would text me an alternative.
The communication was terrific and I knew exactly when she was due at my house.

My husband took the bags into the garage and Lysol wiped them before bringing in the house.

I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Well I also did Instacart from Publix 2 times. First one...great. Just like what u posted. Second delivery...not. The girl put bags on my front porch so close the my door that I couldn’t open it without knocking over the bags. The entire order was someone else’s. Good thing I was there. It was not a good experience.

My only experience was the shopper voided 5 items. Didn't offer alternatives. Got lost trying to find me in Marsh Bend

Used once so far. The shopper stayed in constant contact if something was unavailable. The funny thing was, there was a picture of bananas on the order form. I ordered one. And that's what I got -one banana. We are still laughing over that.

I recommend them.

I might try them. I've been trying for two days to schedule a pickup time from neighborhood Walmart. No doubt they are overworked and understaffed.

The instacart folks are like the uber of grocery getters/deliverers.

I hope it was my Daughter-in-law.
She's fantastic.

I have not been able to get a pickup time from Walmart for over 2 weeks.

We also had a good experience with ALDI. Great communication and all in stock except heavy cream. Only minor problem was one produce item that had an expration date a week earlier. I view this as the store's fault more than the shopper. Overall, very pleased.

Cost
 

What is the added cost of Instacart? I don't know much about it but I see it as our future.

How much does it cost to us this service? Is it based on how big your order is? Should you tip them?

I haven't used it yet but plan to for my next order. On the app it says delivery charge is $3.99 per delivery, or $9.99 per month for unlimited deliveries, or $99.00 a year for unlimited deliveries.

Plus 5% service plus 5% tip (automatically charged). Plus higher base prices at Publix and Sam's Club. Also, delivery is 8.99 from Sam's, NOT 3.99.

Thank you for that review. Publix is normally top notch and your experience does not surprise me!

I had a good experience with Publix delivery yesterday, too. And it was delivered within an hour!
