Thousands of people now have groceries delivered to their front door, but is it worth the extra cost and chance of errors?
No more wandering the aisles for an hour, then waiting in line for checkout. Just order on your phone, and everything shows up at your front door a few hours later.
But there can be drawbacks to having your groceries delivered, including missing items, poor substitutions, lousy produce, or mystery charges on your bill.So he recently started ordering delivery, until one recent purchase left him with a bad taste, and it wasn't from spoiled food.He claims his bill was packed with charges for other items."It was like $156 on extra stuff," he told us.
"A lot of consumers we survey say, you know, I end up having to go to the store myself to buy the things they couldn't bring me anyways," Brasler said."And so then is it really a time saver? It may not be."If you end up with missing items, or unexpected charges, Brasler says always reach out to the store or service to request a refund.
Jason Goeeke did that, and says he got his $156 refunded, but says it took two frustrating weeks, and several calls."We don't do the delivery," he said."We just have them pick it, and we go and pick it up."And if there are any wrong items, or overcharges, he says he can easily challenge it. Grocery delivery can be a real help, but check your receipts carefully, so you don't waste your money.Twitter: @JohnMatareseSEE MORE: Drivers on desperate search for gas in South Florida
