Grocemania has teamed up with a range of different local convenience stores, delivering from the likes of Nisa, Londis, Budgens and Costcutter. Customers are charged as little as 拢2.50 for a delivery, with orders over 拢30 delivered for free. There is no minimum order value, meaning customers can order as little, or as much, as they want from local stores around their area.
Grocemania gives customers access to all of the stores it delivers from within the area via an easy to use app, and orders can be cancelled/corrected within 5 minutes of being sent. Customers can also order over the phone, and are not charged for the bags they use – these also being 100% organic and recycling craft bags.

In this, Grocemania offer an incredibly beneficial service to both customers and local convenience stores, especially during a time where people are urged to remain at home where possible, and deliveries have become a must for many.
