There are days when shopping becomes a chore. Lack of time, feeling unwell or being too far from the nearest supermarket can put people off going out. The possibility of ordering the necessary items for your home via a courier service can be a lifesaver - including groceries!
For some, shopping online is already an everyday occurrence. This is because online shops offer a wider range of products, sometimes at more attractive prices than their traditional counterparts. However, more and more stationary chain shops are not lagging behind and are trying to catch up with the online competition. Above all, we are talking about the possibility of shopping in your favourite supermarkets without leaving home - including grocery shopping!
Why should you do your grocery shopping online?
Being able to buy all the products you need with home delivery is a very convenient solution. It saves the time it takes to get to the shop, visit the supermarket and return. Sometimes there is also a queue at the checkout, which makes the visit to the supermarket even longer.
Online shopping can be done unhurriedly, at any time of day. The range available in the online shop sells out more slowly than those available in traditional shops. So we don't have to worry about running out of stock! In addition, there is no need to waste time going to a nearby stationary shop. The same products can be delivered right to your door!
Another advantage of e-shopping is that it also saves money. When we go to the supermarket, whether we like it or not, we end up buying other products that we don't necessarily need. With online shopping, we can clearly and precisely define the list of items we need and then add them to the basket.
How do you do your daily shopping online?
The option of ordering shopping at home is constantly gaining new followers. For this reason, more and more retail chains are choosing to introduce such a facility for their customers. Currently, shopping with courier delivery can be done in, among others:
- Auchan,
- Carrefourze,
- Tesco,
- Frisco.pl,
- Peter and Paul.
Doing your grocery shopping with home delivery is done in virtually the same way as using an e-commerce service. All you have to do is visit the website of the shop in question and then add the necessary products to your basket. These include not only cosmetics, chemicals or household items, but also food and beverages.
Once all the items are in the shopping basket, it is time to pay for your order and choose a convenient date for the delivery of your purchases to your home. To do this, it is advisable to find out in advance about the available dates so that the purchased goods reach the owner on time.
InPost cooperates with Auchan Direct!
To meet the needs of our customers, we too have decided to get involved in delivering groceries to your doorstep! As of April 2020, we have partnered with the Auchan shop chain, which offers door-to-door shopping in its Auchan Direct offer. In the coming months, the company intends to expand its delivery areas to more and more cities and towns!
The Refrigerators we create are also an innovative solution. These have 3 temperature zones:
- +16°C for storing products and food at a constant temperature,
- 0°C/+4°C for cooling products and food,
- -18°C for freezing products and food.
Refrigerators They operate on the same principle as Paczkomaty - goods can be collected 24 hours a day. Amongst others, the following can be ordered to them: fruit and vegetables, frozen food, fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, cakes and pastries, as well as flowers and gifts.
Other methods of online shopping
The ability to shop online is increasingly being replicated by supermarket chains. However, they often choose not to introduce home delivery via courier by opting for other solutions. For those who prefer to collect their orders themselves, a click-and-collect option has been created. This allows them to purchase an assortment via e-shopping and then go to a point of sale to collect it themselves. Shops offering this form of shopping include:
- Auchan (collection is possible in the InPost Lodkomats that will be set up at Auchan supermarkets, as well as in designated stationary shops),
- Kaufland,
- Carrefour,
- Tesco.
In addition, a new solution for home delivery of purchases has recently become available in the Biedronka shop chain. This is because it offers the possibility of delivering purchased goods to the customer's door via the Glovo app. However, in this case, the purchases are brought to the customer at the earliest possible time, so it is not possible to choose the delivery date yourself.
