Car service companies with real grocery stop, not curbside pickup

[emilymad]

We are looking for car services that will do a real grocery stop and not just curbside pick up. I don't really get the point of a doing a curbside pickup, especially with the companies that charge you extra for the stop. I see that FL Tours and Tiffany's seem to do the real stop. Any other companies that I am missing? We only need to get a few things so a short stop will work fine.

Just to add, Tiffany's does a real stop at a nice Publix.

Curbside isn’t your thing but the point of it is pretty obvious- speed up the grocery stop and assure you do not go over the company’s allotted time for your stop.

I have no clue what key I hit on my previous message. We did the Publix stop twice with Tiffany's. They said 20 minutes and we had no problem getting what we wanted.

Did you have your have your shopping trip planned, like mapped out? It would take me 20 mins to find the first item.

I will only need 2-3 items and we are very familiar with the Publix so the 15-20 minute stop is more than enough. I don't want to pay the more expensive Instacart prices to do curbside plus I see that many car services charge $20+ to add the stop. I could just do a grocery delivery to the resort for that amount.

You can ask the car service where they will stop.

For me they have always stopped at the Publix located at 9930 Universal Blvd., Orlando 32819

If that's where they will be stopping, you can go to https://www.publix.com/
click on Choose a Store
Type in: 9930 Universal Blvd
The first result is Lake Cay Commons at that address
Click on Choose Store
Then search for each item on your shopping list. It will tell you what aisle that item is in. If it doesn't have the item, you can figure out what you would want as a replacement, while you are still home.
Then you can create your grocery list according to which aisle each item is in.
That will speed up your shopping.

We stop there for hoagies , 6 pack of soda and gallon of water. I don't think I could get the hoagies made in that amount of time. I like plain hoagies, but DH like everything under the sun hoagies. So premade off the shelf ones dont work for him.

It's a grocery stop.
I agree that wanting specific made to order foods might become complicated.

Of course you should never have a premade hoagie! And they can be so slow making them at Publix at least compared to where we are from so I agree you would need to preorder.

We used Tiffany Town Car and they stopped at Publix. They told us 20 min and the driver didn't time us or anything. I think we were done in 20 anyway.

Publix app lets you create your list by aisle. Works great.

I believe they still do, but you have to request it when you book.

Yes! And if something is on the back wall, the app even tells you whether it’s on the right or left or in the middle. The app is one of the reasons we shop at Publix instead of other places.
