View Comments (26)

• $129 a year for prime. It "ain't" free.

  • I don't know about that. I just redeemed 30 days free prime trial on one of my accounts to get the add credit card deals for amex and citi. Adding this would be totally free.

    I don't think it's useful. I like W+.

  • 'tis free if you get Flagship rewards!

    • Is that the same level free as my W+ is free because I pay Amex AF?

  • Worse, it's $139.

    Plus tax if in a state that requires it.

• Additionally, Shipt is just a guy visiting a real food store. speaks more to the caliber of employees that a subscription hires and/or retains.

  • This is almost identical to Frey's comment. What speaks more...and to what?

    • That’s kind of eerie.

      • Glitch in the matrix?

• do they charge premium or all regular prices as in store?

  • From my experience it’s the same or cheaper than in store

• I won't bite unless they deliver Costco too 
  They should buy Instacart to become the "every grocery store"!

• Used to be $9.99 per delivery for my area, so $9.99 per month for unlimited deliveries is a decent deal as it is, assuming you like Whole Foods et al.

• Do you typically need to tip the delivery drivers for Amazon Grocery?

  • I don’t. They’re guaranteed like $20 or something per hour, and don’t know which houses tipped. From the start this wasn’t a tipping thing, so when they added a tip line I just set it to zero. Not trying to be a jerk, but if they’re guaranteed a base that I think is fair, then we don’t need to be plowing more into it.

  • they're paid a full hourly wage for the blocks they select to work, it's not like they're making $7.25 + tips or $3 + tips or anything, so you don't and they don't even know you tipped when they're doing the delivery

  • Amazon says it's not required but I always tip when I order. If they do a really good job then I might add a buck or two afterwards. I'm a good tipper.

• I think I'm in for 89 days. Why not?

  I don't order food from Walmart anymore. Either something is wrong item, food is missing, or the driver steals the entire order. Happened more than once. I try to avoid instacart and moved some grocery to doordash - but doordash seems to be getting much worse, IMO. Fresh at least is somewhat reliable, I have found. Giving us Whole Foods delivery as well makes this a great offer, I think.

  "...you may cancel any time from the subscription management page on your account setting. You will not be charged for the next subscription period if you cancel before your renewal date."

  • "Either something is wrong item, food is missing, or the driver steals the entire order. Happened more than once."

    I do a lot of W+ orders but they are small orders, I just go up to $35 for free shipping. Only once or twice something was missing and it was pretty obvious that driver probably misplaced the whole bag.

    Once I received someone else's bag in my order. So, yeah, it happens.

    Either way, super easy to get money reimbursed. Not like they ask you for photo proof. Click on order, returns, item missing, boom done, you got your money back.

    Driver steals entire order? I call bullshit on that one. Are you saying they drove to your home, hopped out, put the bags by your door, took a photo and then took the bags back with them? What kind of ghetto is this?

• I ordered from them on Monday and it never arrived. Somehow it was listed as out for delivery but never made it on the truck. I will stick with using Giant delivery which I have never had a problem with.

• I'd say a little higher price-wise but the quality is better. Out of all the grocery deliveries I've tried in the past, Amazon Fresh was on the better side as far as freshness of product, quality produce, expiration dates. Instacart was the worst, followed by Walmart. Shipt wasn't too bad, falls in the middle there.

  • "Instacart" is just a dude going to a physical grocery store and shopping for you. The quality of the product depends on the quality of the grocery store you're ordering from.

    • I've had too many problems with "the dude." I requested no substitutions for the bulk of what I used to get with instacart. Depending upon the IQ of who does the shopping, they either seem to pay attention or pay no attention whatsoever...multiple issues... I also noticed that with instacart, the case of water never seems to get delivered (they don't want to haul water and no - it was not out of stock). I've never had that issue with Amazon fresh, ever.

      • Amazon Fresh is the most reliable. Instacart is hit or miss. Sometimes you get a very good shopper who follows instructions. Other times you get an illiterate monkey who ignores all your instructions to refund or substitute. For me, most of the time I experience the latter.

    • Shipt is also just a dude going to a physical grocery store. Speaks more to the quality of workers a subscription hires (or keeps) on.

• "unlimited free grocery delivery on orders $35+" is more than enough to describe the subscription. Are you asking for experience with Amazon Fresh in general? I would say similar price, likely a bit higher quality especially 365 products owned by Whole Foods
