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. <Smile>.
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 grrrrrreate!"
