Attention Valdosta Shoppers! Tired of paying outrageous prices and service fees when using third-party grocery delivery apps like Instacart, Door Dash, and Uber Eats? You’re not alone! While these apps offer convenience, they often come with hefty costs that can significantly increase your grocery bill. Let’s break it down:
Delivery Fees: Ranging from $2.00 to $9.99 per order, depending on the app and your location.
Service Fees: Typically around 3-10% of your order subtotal, but this can vary.
Small Order Fees: If your order is below a certain amount (usually $35 or less), expect an additional fee of $2 to $5.
Surge Pricing: During peak times, fees can increase significantly.
Markups: Prices on items can be higher than in-store prices, adding an extra 10-30% to your total cost.
For instance, Door Dash charges a delivery fee between $2.00 and $5.00 and a service fee around 3-5% of your total. Additionally, you’ll face a small order fee of $3 if your order is under $10.00
So, what’s the alternative? Consider hiring a personal shopper! Here’s why it could save you money:
- Transparent Fees: Personal shoppers typically charge a flat fee or hourly rate, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Plus a small platform service fee to cover expenses.
- No Markups: You’ll get items at their actual in-store prices.
- Customized Service: A personal shopper can find deals and even visit multiple stores if needed.
Switching to a personal shopper can help you manage your grocery expenses better while still enjoying the convenience of home delivery. Attention Valdosta Shoppers Give it a try and see the savings for yourself!
