Your produce is picked by our staff of personal shoppers. They are regularly trained in a hands-on produce course to ensure the highest quality selection.
DO I NEED TO BE PRESENT AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY?
Yes, someone over the age of 18 must be present. If someone over the age of 18 isn't present at the time of delivery, your driver will return your items and issue a refund to the credit card used, less any delivery and/or convenience fees. If your order contains alcoholic beverages, tobacco products or other age-restricted items, someone over the age of 21 must be present to accept and sign for the delivery. Valid (non-expired, government issued) identification confirming the age of the person signing for the delivery or pick up of any age-restricted items is required where that person reasonably appears to be under the age of 50. If you do need to reschedule a delivery, you must contact our Customer Care team at least two hours prior to the beginning of your scheduled delivery window in order to avoid any additional fees.

WHY DOES MY ORDER CONFIRMATION SAY THAT PRICES ARE ESTIMATES ONLY?
The prices quoted at the time of your online order are estimated prices only. The actual order value cannot be determined until the day of delivery because of variations in product weights (e.g. variable weight items such as produce), available prices between the date you submit your order and the date/time your order is filled and delivered, substitutions, taxes, bottle deposits and item availability.
HOW DO YOU KEEP MY GROCERIES FRESH?
Your order is picked and delivered straight to you, door-to-door, typically from the our aisles to your home in less than an hour. Each one of our personal shoppers uses insulated bags and coolers to ensure your perishable items arrive in the best possible condition.
