Excellent, friendly and prompt service!
Website to select groceries is easy to use and clear. Incidentally, I had found it more user-friendly for example, than metro's grocery delivery website.
Also it came with a free sample of coffee yogurt to try of a company I haven't heard before, which was quite interesting and encourages me to try this grocery delivery in the future again, as these fun perks make shopping a little more fun.
The products came cool and fresh, and delivery was on time.
A small word of caution for those living in buildings without elevators, or for those who would order for elderly family members or friends.
When the delivery gentleman was close to arrival, he called and asked if it was a condo or a house. I replied that it was an apartment building. He explained that there is a new policy not allowing them to go upstairs due to Covid, so they cannot go inside the building's elevators or corridors. Not problem, I came down to meet him downstairs and pick up the items from the lobby. I appreciated that he brought them inside the main lobby, (past the vestibule), close to the stairs/elevator to make it easier for me.
He was very friendly and professional, and helpful, I will likely use this service again.
I asked him how it would work if someone is elderly or with mobility challenges, where it would be hard for them to carry groceries upstairs, as I had been thinking of trying this service out for my Grandma.
He explained that the policy is not to go inside unless the customer tells them on the phone that they have a mobility disability e.g. in a wheelchair. The only thing that worries me is that there was no such option when ordering online to select this option from what I have seen, and I am afraid that had I done this earlier for my Grandma ordering groceries to make it easier for her, not knowing this information in advance, there is a big chance I would have put my Grandma into a situation where she would say nothing and go downstairs and possibly strain herself carrying heavy groceries upstairs. She would likely not know to say something about needing assistance on the phone especially as she would by default not be asked (in addition to a slight language barrier), she would likely end up placing herself in a situation where she would strain herself carrying it up.
Glad to know this policy in advance, having tried it out first thanks to chickadvisor's invitation. Hence the 1 star deduction of an otherwise perfect service, to improve it I would recommend an option available on the website when placing the order to specify any physical restrictions (like for elderly folks who may need a hand, or other mobility assistance limitations in general). Other than that, the grocery delivery person was a gentleman and very friendly, service on the phone is excellent and I would definitely recommend it!

Consistency is pleasant to massage on your skin and exfoliating enough to refresh the surface layer of skin, without going deeper like a glycolic acid peel would. I have been using it from one to a few times a week, and have noticed it has made a difference in not only preventing the occasional breakout, but also reducing the flare up from existing spots. The avocado scrub is also quite refreshing, but more gentle and less exfoliating I find, which works well if you have sensitive skin, or to use on a more frequent basis. I bought another avocado one for my sister who has more sensitive skin, to try, and she seems to really enjoy it and also loves the way it smells. -
