Amazon Fresh
Last night we had our first experience with Amazon Fresh - and it was a good one.
We signed up and as a test just ordered some hard too find milk and some strange bread that the kids like. We set up a delivery address (they deliver to our house, yey!), and a pick up location which is just a few minutes from my office in downtown Kirkland.
At 7pm I stopped by the pickup location and was greeted by a very friendly representative. When she got our bag, she noted that the bread was frozen.
“We didn’t realize the bread from this supplier would be coming frozen and as it didn’t state that on the website, we’re going to give you a refund.”
Sweet! Free bread :-)
Within a few minutes, a refund notice from Amazon appeared in my inbox.
Anyhow, we’ve yet to have an actual delivery experience, but I think we’ll be using them quite extensively from now on…

I was going to use the Amazon Fresh pickup. But what is the location like in Kirkland? Is it a store you go into or is it a pickup window?
It's a store that you go into.
I have been using Amazon Fresh here in Bellevue since they started up a number of months ago. I go for the home delivery; it makes most sense per my lifestyle. I get up very early so I opt for the predawn delivery.
I am quite pleased, I get meat, dairy, fresh produce, everything. I am a former chef, and I am also very health conscious, it's easy to eat that way through AF.. I get my food early enough, that I can fix lunch and actually prep some ingrediants for that nights dinner. I don't return the totes my groceries come in, I leave them out for my next delivery, when they then get picked up. You can also have them picked up at a prespecified time. The cost I feel is competitive, and some of the sale items are a bargain. The variety in foods, ethnic, health oriented, to simple microwavable meals, it's all there; I evne picked up an el cheap vegetable peeler when ordering one night for my next morning delivery. I love to grocery shop, but this does make it easier and helps me plan and buget better. I'm glad they are out there. Doug
