I do a monthly shop with Coles Online, they always deliver within the selected timeframe, my only gripe is that they sometimes forget an item or two, or I end up with a few items I didn't order them. A simple email to their customer service team fixes it and they apply a credit. Overall very convenient.
Notice that out of the two biggies (Woolies & Coles) we find Coles to be chepaer. They made a big change with their $1/L Milk pricing. Once we start getting the milk from there we slowly find other items to be chepaer.But these two bigiies have a long way to go comparing Aldi on Price
I was without a car for a few months and found ordering from Coles very convenient. Delivery is always within the allocated time and there are a variety of delivery windows to choose from at various price points.
The range of products is very similar to what is found in stores however some products that are in larger stores are not available.
Occasionally an ordered item might be out of stock. When you order you choose whether you would like these items to be substituted for a similar item or not. I have found this frustrating sometimes when I have ordered something specifically for a recipe and don't receive the item, although this does not happen frequently.
The drivers are always friendly and willing to help move heavy items such as multiple bags of potting mix or kitty litter to different areas of my garden (it's a small garden) if needed.
It's really important to be aware of cut off times when ordering because they are very strict. Be very careful with allowing computer processing times.
This is a great service if you want to organise your shopping in advance.
I have used Coles Online on occasion when I'm having a busy week. It is an excellent solution to traipsing the shopping aisles when you have too much else to do. There are many delivery times available and the delivery drivers are prompt as well as friendly. They are happy to carry the groceries into your home for you. One fact you may want to consider is that you can only receive your order is someone is home to answer the door. The products have always been fresh and there is a replacement service if what you have requested is unavailable. Most of the products are delivered in biodegradable bags which you can use for your compost bin if you choose to.
I injured myself quite badly recently and couldn't walk to the store for awhile. That's when I discovered the wonders of Coles Online.
The organised lists of everything are fantastic. You can compare prices, and set the list to show the lowest total price or price per kilo.
The best thing was the lovely girl who delivered the goods. She was courteous and friendly, and I wanted to adopt her!
Unfortunately, some of the vegetables and fruit was a little lacking in quality. Coles has a policy of 100% satisfaction guaranteed, but I really don't think I would want to spend the time and effort to call them to ask for a replacement for $2 worth of bananas and a pack of faulty snowpeas. Also, the delivery charge is quite steep, especially given that every delivery saves coles shop space etc.
But overall, if you are in a bind, or short on time, and you need a delivery, Coles is great.
The site is also helpful for making shopping lists and purchasing decisions without the distraction of the real Coles environment.
