The delivery fees and tips add up quickly on a fixed income. Service itself is excellent - drivers are courteous and careful with fragile items. Just wish it was more affordable for daily use.

Good concept but delivery times can be unreliable. Had to wait 3 hours past my scheduled window last week. When they do arrive, service is good though.
Drivers are nice but sometimes struggle to find my apartment. Would be helpful if they called instead of just leaving groceries downstairs.
