Look it up and see if you can find an answer. Depending on how long it takes I would have them leave the groceries in a place with direct sunlight preferably somewhere that they won't be stolen. |

I think it's safer because you are exposed to one person versus many. You don't have to interact with the person and they can leave your groceries outside. I still take precautions and wear gloves. I wipe down the freezer/fridge stuff with wipes. I let the non-perishable stuff sit out for a few days and gradually wipe that stuff down too. It's a pain in the ass to take such precautions, but I think it's better than going in to the grocery store. They are overwhelmed right now and have delays, but I've been using them for years and they do a great job. |

You have lot more stores to pick your food from. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 500752 I use it. it’s a lot more expensive than going to the store yourself, service fee, delivery fee and optional tip. The delivery leaves your order on your porch without any contact. I pick the bags up with gloves and set the bags in my garage for three days. Obviously, if ordering meat or dairy you my not have that luxury, but you can wipe down the packaging before but it in the fridge. |
