Grocery Deliveries

[BcIcemen]

I have been using Garden Grocers but the pricing is high. Has anyone used Orlando Grocery Express or Dizzy Dolphin? If so pros or cons. Any other suggestions?

Have you checked the FAQ on grocery deliveries in the regular Resorts Forum? That may have answers to your question.

I have not used the 2 you mentioned before but I have used Amazon a couple years ago and Instacart (Publix) on my last 2 trips this year and would recommend both. Both I found to be cheaper than Garden Grocer

Up until a few years ago I used Garden Grocer. Now I just use Amazon Prime Now because the Garden Grocer prices kept going up and the selection down.

I use Instacart which shops at the local Publix. You even get discounts for on sale items.

I use Instacart for Publix. Easy and it is far less expensive than Garden Grocer. I haven’t tried Amazon, but may give that a go.

If you order alcohol do you have to be there for them to deliver

Yes, you need to meet the driver if you order alcohol.

Does Instacart use its own Publix account for discounts, or do you give them your Publix account info?

I don't think Publix has accounts. The discounts are for anyone.

I have a "Club P" app account that gets me discounts at Publix. Obviously, it's not necessary to have one or share that info with Instacart to get those discounts! Thanks!

They have accounts for digital coupons, which (AFAIK) are not available on instacart orders.

All I can say is that I often see sale items and two for ones on Instacart.

We have used Dizzy Dolphin the last several times and they are very good and so easy to work with, they are also DVC members. We were using another mentioned here but switched after 2 issues in a row with them. Dizzy Dolphin does deliver alchol also and they drop all food including the alchol off at GS for your pickup or delivery to your room by BS later if you want...ºoº

On our trip in October 21, used Amazon/Whole Foods. There is a $35 minimum order, can enter a specific 2 hr window for delivery and if you order alcohol you need to be present to show ID when delivered. App let's you track your driver so you aren't wasting time waiting around.

I have used Garden Grocer until now but I also see the price increase and the limited selection. I would like to use Publix but do I understand correctly that Instacart requires a $99/y fee?

You can pay monthly and cancel anytime, so you do not have to do the annual. Free trials, too, if you are just doing it once.

Agree not to use Garden Grocer. I had a terrible experience with them not refunding as others on the board have had.

We are using this company for our next trip. Furloughed CM. $25 flat fee, shops at Publix with no markup.

This is one reason we love Dizzy Dolphin. You create a grocery list(we use a modified one from home) and then they shop it for you. The last time I think they came in Walmart bags. I prefer this instead of picking items from their limited list. We usually go for a week and have extended family with us so it pays for us..ºoº

Another vote for Dizzy Dolphin, although they are not necessarily cheap. I love the platters that they have. They make it do easy to do a breakfast buffet or an evening drinks and dessert bar right in the villa. They will deliver alcohol without you needing to be present but you have to provide ID to them. You place the order online with Total Wine, pay Total Wine and give the name of DD's delivery person for pick up. So easy and they don't upcharge for the alcohol.

Yes, they are great about all you mentioned plus they are also DVC members..
