Wana get grocery at you door step? Log on to GopherGrocery

If you’re busy at work/university and can’t get much time to buy grocery stuff, all you got to do is to visit GopherGrocery. It has the solution for your problem. You just have to place order online and choose specific day and hour of delivery.

The service is available 7 days a week. There are two type of deliveries i.e. business delivery and home delivery. Each delivery is available in different time slots and every time slot consists of one hour. Business delivery has only one slot which is between 3-4 PM where as home delivery has around six time slots starting from 4 PM to 10 PM. To avail this service you must have an order of at least $50. Delivery charges are $2 but if the order is above $100, it is free. You have to place order at least a day before delivery which means that the order cut-off time is 12 AM for the next day. This is in order to maintain the freshness of food.

The Minnesota based service which started as a small grocery delivery service at University of Minnesota, is now one of the largest grocery delivery companies in Minnesota. Customers have to choose from 35 different aisles which consist of 500 product categories and more than 10,000 items.

You can also gift ‘Gopher Grocery gift certificate’ to your friends and family and surprise them with groceries delivered at their doorstep. The problem is that the person who is going to receive the gift certificate will have to be a registered Gopher Grocery customer (thats a bad idea).

All major debit and credit cards are acceptable for the payment. Moreover you will receive $10 in your account every time you spend $500 at Gopher Grocery.

Grocery delivery service is certainly not an easy job. The problem is that people want to see and feel the freshness by touching fruits and vegetables which is not possible online. This is the major obstacle in grocery delivery services. Other than that there are a few other issues like if I want to deliver my stuff today, I can’t do it because of delivery conditions which makes this service limited to certain people. What they need to do is to make this service available on daily basis so that people can order stuff and get it delivered in a short span of time. It should not be necessary for a person to be a registered customer to avail gift certificate otherwise it won’t be a surprise. They should give some incentives to customers like no delivery charges or give them some gifts (other than $10 on spending $500), so that people can get attracted towards it. This will make them popular and certainly increase the business.
