Tips & Warnings

• Sites vary in shipment methods and in the length of time for delivery, but none deliver to post office boxes.
• If you're buying from a local store, you need to choose what time you want the groceries delivered, usually in a half-hour time span. If you aren't home, you'll be charged a fee to have the groceries redelivered. You can choose to have your groceries left at the door if there are no perishables, frozen food, tobacco or alcohol. Otherwise, someone has to sign for the delivery.
• Prices range for the delivery charge. Check the charges carefully before you place your order. Most sites don't allow tipping.
• You can also have groceries sent to someone else's address, such as your parents' or your kids'. And on some sites, you can have a recurring order automatically sent to you each week or whatever time period you choose.

on 5/16/2009 Very interesting idea of getting groceries online. I moved from ohio to Tennessee, so there are many items I use to buying that I can't find down here. Which is way I like the idea of being able to order online.
