Introduction: A Personal Touch Makes All the Difference


In a world full of anonymous, app-based services, I do things differently—starting with how we meet.


I require all new clients to meet me in person for their first delivery. It’s not about formality—it’s about building trust, making sure your order is exactly right, and showing you how this service works firsthand.


Here’s what to expect—and why this small step leads to a smoother experience going forward.


1. Why I Require an In-Person Handoff for New Clients


The first delivery is more than just a drop-off. It allows me to:

  • Confirm the accuracy and quality of your order

  • Answer any questions you have face-to-face

  • Walk you through your receipt and payment

  • Learn your home setup (where you prefer drop-offs, where to ring or text, etc.)


This short interaction helps me serve you better with every order that follows.


2. What to Expect During Your First Delivery


  • I’ll arrive within the agreed-upon time window (you’ll know in advance).

  • Your groceries will be neatly bagged and organized for easy unpacking.

  • I’ll confirm your total and accept in-person payment via:

    • Tap-to-pay (Visa, Mastercard, Amex)

    • Zelle

    • Card-on-file (available after first delivery with approval)


💡 If any item was unavailable or substituted, I’ll explain it clearly on the spot.


3. Building Trust from the Start


This first meeting also gives you a chance to:

  • See how I pack and organize your groceries

  • Ask about recurring orders, specific store requests, or preferences

  • Let me know how you like things handled for future drop-offs

  • Decide if you’d like to move to contactless service or scheduled recurring deliveries


Some clients prefer to chat, others just say hello and get their bags—either way, the goal is to make sure you feel confident about the process.


4. After the First Delivery: More Flexibility


Once we’ve met and completed your first handoff:

  • You can switch to contactless payment and delivery

  • I can securely store your card on file with written approval

  • You can leave out coolers or designate a drop-off spot for future orders

  • Communication becomes easier because we’ve built a foundation of trust


Many clients move to a fully hands-off system after the first meeting—but it all starts here.

Not Local? Tips for a Better Delivery Experience Anywhere


  • Meet your shopper if possible—it builds trust

  • Communicate clearly before your first order

  • Ask how substitutions and payment are handled

  • Review your receipt together

  • Give feedback right away to improve the next trip


Even in a digital world, a little human connection still goes a long way.


Final Thoughts: One Friendly Meeting Makes Future Orders Effortless


That first delivery isn’t just a drop-off—it’s the start of a smoother, more personal shopping experience. Once we’ve met and built trust, every order becomes easier, faster, and more tailored to your needs.
