The online fresh food grocer Fresh Direct announced Tuesday it is rolling out same day delivery service in Manhattan later this month.
Customers on the island will now be able to place an order before 10 a.m. and receive it later the same evening starting March 11.
Brooklyn and Westchester County customers will also be able to take advantage of the service when same day delivery rolls out at those locations at a later date.
“We want customers to know that we’re adding great new products every week, that we’re putting more new trucks on the road to make sure they get their deliveries when they want them and on time, and that we have a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every order – if something isn’t to your liking just let us know and we’ll fix it immediately,” David McInerney, CEO of FreshDirect, said in a statement.
With the addition of same day delivery FreshDirect will offer:
- FreshDirect next day, delivering the very best food straight from the source to a customer’s door at peak freshness – order up to 7 days in advance.
- FreshDirect same day, enabling customers to order from the full selection before 10am, with delivery the same evening (in select markets).
- FoodKick, an on-demand service with a curated selection of fresh food, alcohol, local finds, prepared meals, grocery essentials and more—all delivered at peak freshness in as little as an hour (in select markets).
The FreshDirect Campus is located in the South Bronx. The company aims to re-imagines farm-to-fork food distribution and manufacturing, making it even easier for customers to get access to higher-quality, fresher food.
