Buying fresh produce online

Ang3l · #1 31-01-2012, 02:56 PM

I was bored last night (if it's 2am is it still night?) and was looking around on the internet to find ways to be more lazy and get things home delivered. I always read reviews first so you know what problems other people have had and whether to avoid the company/service from the start. So I was very surprised to find ALOT of complaints about the Coles and Woolworths online shopping option.

I scrapped them but DID find a company that delivers incredibly fresh fruit and veg in the Brisbane (QLD) area. After putting my order in at 2am we called it a night (morning? :S) and went to bed for a few hours. The boxes got delivered at 1.30 this afternoon and I have to say I am incredibly impressed. I always cringe at pineapple because it's soo bitter, but this was so sweet I ate the half on my own after lunch. The apples and pears are so fresh they are still crunchy, and we are getting this delivered more often for sure.

Who else here gets fresh foods delivered to the house and who do you use?

2am -eek!

What's the name of the company Ange?
I have used Coles for groceries but deliberately didn't include meat or vegetables. I find their vegetables hit and miss in the store, so I didn't want to trust someone else to pick for me. But if I could get fruit & vege delivered from my local fruit store then I would be happy to.

These guys only do Brisbane, Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast so you might have to find someone who uses your city market.

I was worried about someone else picking the fruit etc as well but figured it was worth the risk and we should try it once. After a quick discussion it will probably be a regular delivery to our place now. We also got frozen chicken from them and the have deli and grocery options too.

Two quick pics, that is the small box next to a 1.25L ***e bottle (for size comparison) and that is my fridge. The only things NOT from myfruit are the eggs, bread, dog food, yogurt and spreads :P We also for pineapple, another orange, apple and pear but we ate them at lunch.
