Subject: Vons Shopping Experience - The delivery

Hi all,

Just to close out this thread regarding the Vons online shopping and
delivery experience...

My delivery was set from 12 noon to 1 PM, and the delivery guy rang my
doorbell at about 12:10PM--very timely.

He asked me where I wanted my stuff placed, and he carried all my groceries
inside and placed them on the kitchen table. All groceries were in plastic
bags just as someone would have them if he or she would have Purchased
in-store.

Out of extreme curiosity, the first thing I did was to check for damaged
stuff , so I reached for the eggs--not a single crack! The bred was
in original condition. Not a single jar was broken. All frozen and chilled
food such as juices and milk were refrigerated on their way to my home. 
Very, very impressive!

We talked a little as he was here about 8 minutes or so, and he conveyed
that this service is growing very quickly. He told me there are 3 other
drivers in my area. I did not have to tip him per website info, but I did
offer him a bottle of water which he took.

Earlier this morning I checked the delivery status via my Vons iPod Touch
5th gen app, and it stated that my delivery was no longer due for delivery,
which made me worry a bit. It then hit me that because my card had just been
charged earlier today, the transaction was now complete. I do wish I would
have been sent an email message stating that my groceries were on their way,
but I guess I can always quickly launch the Vons app on my iPod and confirm
this same information. Indeed, I looked in the "Completed orders" section of
the screen and there was my transaction; it was no longer pending, it was
listed as completed.

Before the driver left he asked me to sign a receipt, but I asked him to
simply place an X on the signature line and sign it for me, and he agreed. I
hate signing for stuff! Its so slow!

I'm definitely going to start using this service on a regular basis from now
on. Its quick, its easy, its accessible, and no more relying on others or
dealing with transportation. I'm a very happy camper!

Joseph

Hi all,

Out of curiosity, and because it could help make life a little easier for
me, early this morning I decided to take a shot at online grocery shopping.
.

I jumped on the Vons website. It was very accessible and easy to navigate
using Jaws 14 and Internet Explorer 10.
http://shop.safeway.com/ecom/home

I placed my order. You must submit an order no less than $50. My first
delivery will be free, but average delivery fee ranges from $9 to about $13
as well as many $3 discounts or free shipping depending on many variables
such as same-day delivery or 2 or 3 day delivery, and coupons etc. Since I'm
a new online delivery shopper, they gave me a free 24-pack of bottled water
and a whole bunch of rolls of paper towels--very nice of them.

After I completed my order and received the confirmation messages regarding
delivery time (tomorrow between 12 noon and 1PM), I decided to search iTunes
for a Vons app. Sure enough, there was an app for that!
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vons-delivery/id632240419?mt=8

I installed the app, and so far it appears to be 100% accessible. I can
confirm that my shipment is on its way and time of delivery. I can cancel
the order, and I can review shopping history. I've not explorered any
further in terms of placing my orders using the app, but I'm sure it will be
very easy to do so as I need only click on my shopping history and order the
same items. I figure it will be much easy to shop around at Vons using a
full browser, so I didn't completely explore the app more than just
cursorily, but I'm sure one can accomplish the same major app tasks during
down-time such as sitting around waiting for someone or waiting for a ride.

In short, this Vons home delivery service was a great shopping experience,
and I now don't have to look for a ride or catch a taxi to purchase
groceries. I don't know if prices are any more or less than at a grocery
store,but I doubt it since prices seemed to compare to how much I've paid
for these items while at a physical store. Oh yeah, I actually saved about
$15 as some items were on sale and there were many "5 for the price of 2"
types of sale items. The cost and little sales items are conveyed to you as
you pick out an item. There are links that show you nutritional information
in an accessible format. While learning the layout of the website, it must
have taken me about 2 hours to actually learn the layout and complete all of
my shopping, and the website never crashed once!

   well, unfortunately that isn't available in my area.  the only one 
that I know is peapod.  it is similar but you have to have a 60 dollar 
delivery and they are a little more expensive than stores.  there is also an 
app for that.

I simply couldn't resist, so I bought myself a box of morning cereal I've

let's just say "They're grreate!"

Hi Joseph, I really enjoyed hearing about your Vons experience. I especially 
enjoyed reading about your morning cereal that brought a smile to my face. Hope 
you're really do enjoy your Tony the tiger cereal. God bless, Wren PS. We have 
Safeway here in Missouri I believe. So I may take a look at this Vons app. 
Thank you very much again great information.

Hi,

It is nationwide. If you decide to register, at some point you will be asked 
for your zip code. Enter it and you will be presented a list of Vons stores 
near you. If you do not have any Vons stores near you, try using Safeway as 
an alternative as it appears to be the major chain owning Vons. Here is some 
info I copied from the help page:

Do you deliver to my area?
We offer delivery in many major U.S. cities and suburbs. To find out if we 
deliver to your area, enter your zip code on the "Sign In / Register" page.

It appears that this app works with the Safeway grocery chain. Do you have 
Safeway's in Tucson? We have them here in Tempe.

Hi all,

Out of curiosity, and because it could help make life a little easier for
me, early this morning I decided to take a shot at online grocery shopping.
.

I jumped on the Vons website. It was very accessible and easy to navigate
using Jaws 14 and Internet Explorer 10.
http://shop.safeway.com/ecom/home

I placed my order. You must submit an order no less than $50. My first
delivery will be free, but average delivery fee ranges from $9 to about $13
as well as many $3 discounts or free shipping depending on many variables
such as same-day delivery or 2 or 3 day delivery, and coupons etc. Since I'm
a new online delivery shopper, they gave me a free 24-pack of bottled water
and a whole bunch of rolls of paper towels--very nice of them.

After I completed my order and received the confirmation messages regarding
delivery time (tomorrow between 12 noon and 1PM), I decided to search iTunes
for a Vons app. Sure enough, there was an app for that!
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vons-delivery/id632240419?mt=8

I installed the app, and so far it appears to be 100% accessible. I can
confirm that my shipment is on its way and time of delivery. I can cancel
the order, and I can review shopping history. I've not explorered any
further in terms of placing my orders using the app, but I'm sure it will be
very easy to do so as I need only click on my shopping history and order the
same items. I figure it will be much easy to shop around at Vons using a
full browser, so I didn't completely explore the app more than just
cursorily, but I'm sure one can accomplish the same major app tasks during
down-time such as sitting around waiting for someone or waiting for a ride.

In short, this Vons home delivery service was a great shopping experience,
and I now don't have to look for a ride or catch a taxi to purchase
groceries. I don't know if prices are any more or less than at a grocery
store,but I doubt it since prices seemed to compare to how much I've paid
for these items while at a physical store. Oh yeah, I actually saved about
$15 as some items were on sale and there were many "5 for the price of 2"
types of sale items. The cost and little sales items are conveyed to you as
you pick out an item. There are links that show you nutritional information
in an accessible format. While learning the layout of the website, it must
have taken me about 2 hours to actually learn the layout and complete all of
my shopping, and the website never crashed once!

I simply couldn't resist, so I bought myself a box of morning cereal I've
not eaten in what might be decades. ...Don't want to embarrass myself, but
let's just say "They're grreate!"
