It’s great when companies incorporate text messaging updates in their home delivery procedures.
You are notified by text when your order is near your house and ready for delivery.
Since COVID is a big concern for me, I like to avoid going into the store myself just to get my grocery items. So not only do I get all of my groceries delivered through this service, but I also leave a table outside my front door so the delivery driver can leave all of my products there and leave without any need for contact. Just talking to an infected person is enough to catch COVID so I am not taking any chances if I can avoid it. Since you’re already paying for the order online, I see no reason to interact with the delivery driver. If I can leave a tip digitally with the same app I use to make the order, there’s really no need to interact with the delivery driver at all. I just walk outside and grab my bags and bring them into my kitchen before wiping everything down with an isopropyl alcohol solution. My marijuana delivery today was similar, although they gave me a more specific window of time in which I could expect the delivery to show up. Then once the driver was leaving the last stop before my house, he texted me to let me know he was on his way. Lastly, the cannabis delivery services send me a text when they arrive so I’m ready at my door. I hold up my ID so they can take a picture and then they place the bag on the table. It’s a great way to get your marijuana products without getting exposed to a potentially asymptomatic delivery driver.
