Overview
Continuing in the tradition of online services that ensure you never have to leave your living room, a brand new website has recently launched in Sydney that will deliver groceries right to your door. Inspired by their success in Germany, ShopWings lets you select your groceries over the web, before dispatching one of its shoppers to do the busy work for you and deliver within about two hours. Basically it’s like The Iconic, but for food.
After entering your postcode, visitors to ShopWings choose between three different grocery chains: ALDI, Coles and Harris Farm (sorry Woolies). From there, it’s simply a matter of filling your virtual shopping cart and heading to the checkout. The delivery fee comes in at a flat $8.90 — although in order to entice customers, your first use of the service is free.
Once you’ve paid via credit card or PayPal, ShopWings guarantee delivery within two hours. They currently deliver to addresses in the CBD, eastern suburbs and beaches and the Lower North Shore, with plans for expansion already on the cards.
Of course ShopWings isn’t Australia’s first online grocery service. Both Coles and Woolworths already offer home delivery, while Grocery Butler has been operating since mid-2013. Where this new operation aims to stand apart is in the quality of their service. ShopWings shoppers will even get in touch with you from the grocery store if an item you selected is out of stock, so that you can pick an alternative rather than going without dinner.
