    does not worth it

    Customer service takes 3-4 days to reply, while most other companies respond in a few hours. I'm still waiting for a response to a simple question. Also, it seems products labeled as cheap or on sale are often out of stock after I order them, leading to refunds.

    Excellent service and great quality

    Just tried my first order for delivery this morning. Arrived within the designated time slot. Driver called 5 minutes ahead to let me know he was arriving soon. My buzzer is currently not working, so we arranged to meet at the lobby entrance. I had a cart to put the groceries in, and the driver was exceptionally gentle when placing the bags in and made sure he didn't put any items which could be crushed at the bottom. The frozen items arrived still frozen and the refrigerated items and veggies were all cold as their vans have refrigerated storage. I got everything in my order correctly, no missing items or substitutions. The quality of all the items was perfect, exactly what I would have picked at the store. Service was prompt, friendly and professional. Zero complaints. The only down side is the price/fees. They are obviously more expensive, just as when you shop in store. But the quality of the items and the service was fantastic. I prefer shopping in store, but had to order online since my car broke down and is currently in the shop. If I have to use delivery again, would 100% use Voila.

    Dishonest, shady business practices; worst grocery Delivery

    I purchased 12 month ANYTIME Pass. For months now I have not been able to get any morning delivery slots, nor have I been able to book any slots earlier than 5 days in advance.

    When I searched available times for an address literally 350m from me (I can see it from my house) it brings up all slots starting at 6AM until 10PM, beginning tomorrow. Full day availability for all addresses across the street from me.

    They claim they do not have resources yet I just explained to them that they have trucks available ALL day to go to my neighbours.

    This is easily fixable on the backend.

    What a terrible experience. I purchased an anytime pass and they are only giving me evening slots. THAT IS NOT ANYTIME. That's false and misleading information to entice buyers. That's illegal. They changed the contract terms without notifying me. I'd suggest they consult with their legal department.

    Also! They consistently overcharge for meats. They charge you the weight at the regular price if an item is sale. You have to do the math to catch it because they don't put the pricing on the packages.

    Your groceries delivered. Just like that.

    Be aware that Voila grocery delivery is a complete scam. They deliver not fresh products and deceive. Today I received my first small ($75) delivery order from Voila. Please look at the picture. In a bag of oranges, 2 oranges were rotten and 1 orange was completely smashed. Look at these two hard, green and bruised pears. I received these in my order instead of the 2 boxes of organic pears I paid $20.58 for. According to Voila support, I believe I will receive the missing crates of pears within 1 hour. Did not happen. Be carefull.

    NOPE!

    Lengthy review but… OOF…

    My grocery store stopped doing in-house delivery and partnered with Voila for deliveries, so I regrettably placed my first order with Voila recently and the experience was awful. 10/10 would not use their services again.

    If you have other options other than voila, I would recommend using that other option. But if you still choose to use their services, hopefully it’s better than my experience lol.

    What Happened:

    For starters, the delivery driver couldn’t figure out where I lived and couldn’t understand my explanation of being a big APARTMENT building at the very corner of the street and was hard to miss. They kept requesting to turn the light on outside of my “house” it ended up taking them 20 minutes to figure it out…

    Then they didn’t want to actually deliver to my door and was shouting in the hallways late at night.

    Then I had a big chunk of my order missing & ended up with a few items that belonged to someone else…

    After speaking to customer service they said the items are scanned before delivery and as long as the items I purchased weren’t scanned then I could get a refund for those items. Which if they go by that logic, then the person that ordered their items that I received instead would still be charged for the items they never even received and vice versa… They ended up agreeing to refund me for my missing items and offered to give me a code to use for my next order with them. (Yeah right lol) I went ahead and asked what the refund would be (as I like to make sure we’re on the same page) and was told they didn’t know since they had to manually do it.

    But to top it all off… They sent me an invoice of my post delivery then another email with the refund details and I noticed refund email to be off, so I went ahead and compared and EVERY item I was refunded, they refunded less than what I actually paid per item… E.g. chicken breast $13.00 refunded $10.00 lol.

    I emailed customer service with screenshots of both emails explaining if I paid $X.XX for an item that I never received then I should get the exact same amount I paid for back… They apologized and refunded me the difference.

    Overall:

    Customer service representatives were nice.

    If the drivers don’t know where they’re going, might be best to use a GPS for some guidance.

    The shouting in my building late at night was very unprofessional. They had my number, they should have at least called me.

    I shouldn’t have to email customer support explaining the refund amount issue. Though I feel like this was intentional.. Makes me wonder if they do this often in hopes of not getting caught and making a profit. If it was one item, okay sure. Mistakes happen. But not with every single item?

    Simple, easy, fast

    I have to say the best part of Voila is the ease of navigating the website to pick my grocery order. I was so impressed with the search function and the adding process. It saved me so much time compared to other online grocery pick up sites I’ve used. The pick up process was equally as easy. I would highly recommend. Not to mention the quality of the produce picked in my order. Extremely pleased start to finish.

    Voila order

    I ordered for the first time from Voila. I have frequently used Walmart grocery and Instacart so was very used to those systems. I did not find it easy to navigate the website and many things I wanted to purchase that are actually available in this store were not on the website to purchase. I placed my order and received a confirmation email of my order. I did not receive another email, text etc until 30 min prior to my pickup saying my order would be ready at the appropriate time and that 4 of my items had been substituted for other products some smaller sizers at a much higher prices than the larger size I had ordered. I picked up my order and the gal was super friendly and professional. I declined the items I did not want that were substituted and the rest of my order was correct and in good condition. I do not think I will use Voila again however, as I found it very hard to use the website with minimal options available to me for the things I wanted. The other online systems I have used are much more user friendly and interactive with updates etc. about my order(ie. substitutions made ) and Walmart will substitute and not charge you a higher price for the item which is nice.

    Promo code beware

    Pick up was easy and fast. All the grocery items looked good. 2 items got cancelled because they didn't have enough stock. I had a promo code but it got cancelled when my 2 items were out of stock. So I didn't get my discount.

    Amazing grocery service

    My grocery order was prepared in a very prompt time. Order was ready, and waiting when I arrived within my selected pickup time of 2pm-3pm. I pulled into the assigned stall, and called the number on the sign, and a very polite voice answered my call to say my order would be right out. My groceries were carefully brought to my vehicle by a very nice gal from my local Safeway location. She was very polite, and carefully loaded all my bags in my truck for me. The shopping list was completed with no substitutes, and all the food was fresh. I will be ordering again in the near future. I have recommended this grocery service to my family, and friends. Thank you ChickAdvisor Butterly and Voila/Sobey’s/Safeway I received a $25 voucher code to try Voilà by Safeway
