I was shocked by all the negative reviews, but then people don't usually leave unsolicited reviews unless there was a problem. If you are considering trying Kroger delivery, please keep that in mind. I used to shop Kroger brick and mortar when I lived in another state and they were pretty good. Recently, I had been seeing ads for Kroger Delivery in my area, and I knew we didn't have a Kroger here, so it made me curious. Sure enough they deliver in Florida. Since Covid, I had been using Wally world pick up and I like the convenience. Other groceries have delivery, but that is through Instacart, and I do not like Instacart. Kroger's deliver fee is $9.95 and deliver window they offer is similar to WLMrts pick-up time frame in my area. Kroger offered a $10 off coupon to use for the first 3 deliveries, so in essence, free deliver for my first three orders. I loved the selection and the prices are comparable to groceries in my area. They have a ton of digital coupon, including coupons for free items (I believe there are 5 per week). I only used 4 of the 5 free items, the 5th just didn't interest me. This week was Simply Orange orange juice (full size), Dole Chopped salad (you pick for a variety), Grands Biscuits, and a couple other things I don't remember. The only thing I didn't like about the ordering process was their website, it kept glitching out and asking me to refresh. It wasn't just a few time, it was an extreme. I would have to close the browser, go back in, get to one page, then it would do it again. That was on my laptop, (which is less than a year old). I switched to my tablet and had much better luck, it did not glitch at all, so when I order again , I will use my tablet.Now for the delivery, that is where groceries and really mess up, especially with fresh dated food. I am not a person who returns things, I will just shop somewhere else. Kroger Deliver receives full marks. Everything had good dates, just like when I am shopping myself and I dig to the back to get the best date. When I spend money to have someone else shop for me, I don't want things to spoil in a day or two... hint hint other grocery stores. The driver was clean, neatly dressed, and driving a Kroger truck. He saw me in the carport and waved a friendly wave and had a big smile. I asked him Kroger stores, and he could not stop singing the company praises. He felt he was being paid fairly with good benefits (he offered that information, I only asked if there were stores in Florida). He loved and valued his job... I got thinking, if someone is going to be handling your food, you want them to be happy with and value their job...(think about it, it is the same reason you are not mean to a server in a restaurant). I will be ordering again, and will probably continue to order after I have used up the three $10 off coupons. After seeing the the Kroger Delivery man's excitement over having the opportunity to work for them, I had to find a place to write a review.
