Frequently Asked Questions about Richmond Online Grocery Delivery:

How much is home grocery delivery in Richmond?

You have three factors to consider when figuring out how much grocery delivery costs; product price, promotions and delivery to your place.  Here is what you should watch out for to get the best value for your money:


  1. Product Price: Some online grocery delivery services like DoorDash, Inabuggy and Foodora add a markup as high as 15% to the regular price of the product. This is also common for grocery stores that use Instacart such as Loblaws, Superstore and Zehrs. Qualifirst always gives you the discounted warehouse price, without any markup.

  2. Promotions:  As the wait times for the soonest available delivery slot are often over a week, the promotions listed in the flyer will expire before your order is received, which means you are charged the full price, which often would have changed your decisions in making the original order. This is usually the case with Walmart Grocery Delivery and Metro as their sales only last one week. Qualifirst always has the lowest price possible in its Member Pricing shown on the website, available to all customers.

  3. Delivery to Your Place: This is where most of the hidden fees come in that you need to watch out for. Longos’ Grocery Gateway has a delivery fee starting at $7.95 even when you reach their minimum order value of $75. Look for sites like Qualifirst which offer free delivery when you hit a certain order value, on Qualifirst.com it’s very low at only $50, making it easy to add an extra item or two that you regularly use to your cart to take advantage of the free delivery.

Where is grocery delivery available in Richmond?

Many online grocery stores only deliver within a specific km radius of their physical store locations. Qualifirst deliveries to Richmond include free flat rate shipping for all orders over $50. Our customers in Richmond can also take advantage of our $12 White Glove (and Mask) Delivery upgrade where the Qualifirst delivery Vans will bring your food ingredients the day after you place your online order, right to your door. The upgraded delivery service region in the Vancouver Area includes:

How long does grocery delivery take to arrive?

shipping.png

Since Qualifirst has warehouses in both Toronto and Vancouver, we ship from the location closest to you. Currently both locations have inventory on most items, so it will typically take 1 day per province you are away from the closest location to receive your order via Canada Post, FedEx or UPS. In the off change an item from your order is not in stock in the nearest warehouse to you, then your order will be delivered in two separate packages, with the second being a couple days behind. 

How does grocery delivery work?

Just like placing any other order online at Amazon, you add the ingredients you find that make your meal time more exciting for your family or friends to your shopping cart, and pay with credit card on the secure online checkout with Visa or Mastercard. There are no hidden fees, all applicable taxes and shipping charges, if any, will appear on the checkout page before you complete your purchase. If your order is under $50, it is usually recommended to find another ingredient to add to your cart to increase its total value over $50 so that you can take advantage of our free shipping.

Is my order prepared by Qualifirst staff, or picked by a 3rd party service?

qf-check.png

Your order is carefully prepared by full time Qualifirst staff members who know our product line inside and out. Unlike when you place an online order from a grocery store like Loblaws, Superstore or Zehrs who use a 3rd party service called Instacart that utilizes casual employment “gig” workers that do not have a vested interest in the success of your order.  Inabuggy, Doordash and Foodora, operate similarly to Uber for food delivery, with people not aligned to your best interests. Your order is always prepared by Qualifirst staff members who share your passion for food.

Will my order ever be cancelled after I have placed it online?

There are countless comments, on any of the major Canadian blogs talking about grocery delivery, of customers sharing their stories of their Walmart Grocery Delivery orders simply not arriving on the scheduled date even after waiting weeks, with no advance warning. Once your order is placed with Qualifirst online, it will never be cancelled due to lack of manpower to prepare and ship the order. 

What if I am not home to receive my order, will the food spoil?

No, all of the ingredients listed on the website for online grocery delivery ordering are non-perishable items which typically have a long shelf life. If you are not home to accept your order, then depending on the carrier they will either:

  • Call to arrange another delivery time that same day or next.

  • Automatically attempt another delivery in the same day.

  • Leave a note on your door or mailbox with instructions to pick it up at their nearest drop off point, such as Shoppers Drug Mart.

Do you offer discounts on large purchases?

After your first order, you will see a new price when logged into your Qualifirst account which is lower then both the Regular Price and Member Price by a minimum of 4% and in some cases as much as 32%.
