Online grocery pick-up or delivery.

Ordering online for pick-up and order-to-your-door are both great options to get those items on your shopping list. Many major grocery chains let you shop in-app/online for an assortment of products, place them into your virtual shopping cart and choose a preferred window of time for pick-up or delivery. It’s that easy, but don’t forget to check your preferred store for any fees or minimum order requirements before placing your order.

Tips to make your online grocery shopping a smoother experience.

With the boom of online orders, it’s getting harder to snag a preferred timeslot for grocery pick-up or delivery. Here are some things you can try:

1. Check timeslot availability during off-peak hours.
This could be another reason to stay up late. Many stores release new timeslots for online grocery delivery/pick-up throughout the day, at night or in the morning. Check regularly to see what’s available.

2. Be patient and hit refresh.
It’s a bit like trying to get hot concert tickets. Hitting refresh periodically may help you find timeslots too.

3. Look for another nearby location.
Some grocery stores have multiple locations for pick-up. Most grocers have store locators on their websites or even available on their apps – so you can check out the top two or three locations near you.

4. Piggy-back on a friend’s order.
If your friend is planning to place an online grocery order, you may want to ask if they’re willing to tack yours on too. With physical distancing still in place, try to arrange for e-transfer and porch pick-up instead.

5. Be proactive and plan ahead.
If you’re not in a rush to find those recipe items or just planning to re-stock some items you may need in the future, why not order ahead of time?

Check out these other ways to make your online grocery run easier. 

• There’s an app for that. Yes, many grocery stores offer mobile apps so you can shop on-the-go and track your order status. See if your store offers this service.

• Read up on the fees. Whether you opt for pick-up or delivery, make sure to read up on the various fees. Every online store has a different fee structure and these could add up.

• Update your orders. If you’ve placed an online order ahead of time, some stores let you edit your order up to two days before your scheduled pick-up day. Every online grocer has different rules so be sure to read up on their policies.

• To substitute or not to substitute? Some grocery stores allow you to make notes to your online order. If an item you requested isn’t available, you can choose to allow for substitutions or not.

• Pay attention to your notifications. After placing an order, you’ll most likely receive an email or text notification letting you know when your order is ready for pick-up/delivery.
