    Efficient Delivery!

    Thanks to @chickadvisor I received a $25 coupon for #VoilaBySobeys! I hot a delivery exactly when I specified and a few things were on sale.

    Pros: Very smooth ordering process and no issues with the voucher. The delivery men were so efficient, called before coming and explained that all my items were delivered w no substitutions. Also, I liked that I could edit my order until the evening before delivery.

    Cons: Sobeys is a little more expensive than our usual stores. Also, produce options were not available at the time of my order so I could only order frozen fruit or vegetables. When I got the initial email my delivery window was July 14-19, then a later email said July 26 (which would have been preferred)

    As a couple without a car, getting groceries delivered is a dream. We've tried all of them, and Voila was a very good experience. With the coupon, we got delivery free ($7.99) but that is a cheap delivery fee compared to the rest at around $11. We would use it again if the selection gets bigger.

    Excellent Service

    I'm all for trying new things out, so when I received $25 credit on a $100 min with a $7.99 delivery fee (some stores are upwards of $9.99) with Voila by Sobeys it peaked my interest.

    I have to say the service was better than I was expecting. It was easy to navigate through the website, find a next day delivery spot, most of the items I selected were available and I got a phone call from the driver explaining the contactless delivery process and his E.T.A - only 5 mins away (even at 745am on a Sat!)

    Sobeys is not my regular grocery store, so it was nice to try out some new products that I wouldn't normally get. It is a bit pricier than some other grocery stores, but most of the items I needed were on sale anyway.

    Definitely would use this service again! Thanks @chickadvisor for letting me try it out

    Pleasantly surprised by the Service!

    Tried out the new @sobeys grocery delivery service Voila! this weekend and am very impressed with the service. It was easy to find a next day delivery spot, all the items I selected were available and fresh and got a heads up phone call from the driver explaining the contactless delivery and his E.T.A (which was 10 minutes but he was there in 5) I even got my Lysol wipes and spray!
    I was given a discount code to try out the service by Chickadvisor - $25 off $100 min and the grocery delivery fee is 7.99 compared to a few other places that are 9.99 and 12.99 for delivery.
    Sobey's is a higher end grocery store, so that is something to also keep in mind, it will cost a bit more here than say at your local discount store. Be sure to check out the sale flyers too! Lots of items on sale.
    Thanks @chickadvisor for the opportunity to try this out! I would definitely recommend Voila to family and friends

    Fast and efficient service!

    First time utilizing a grocery delivery service and with the help of a promo discount offered through the Product Review Club I decided to try it out. Viola by Sobeys was easy to use and received my groceries accurately and at the time they said they would deliver straight to my door! Prices were are a little more for some of the products I usually purchase but I did purchase many sale items so that helped wit the overall cost. Also the refrigerated groceries were easy to identify as they were placed in a different grocery bag for easy identification.

    My grocery delivery experience with Sobeys

    ($50 minimum order + $7.99 delivery fee)
    It would be convenient if you don't have reliable transportation to the grocery store, have an injured body part, or want to save time. The customer service was great! Called me before and when arriving. Provided bags and Tom went beyond when it came to describing the service. Wonderful experience.

    A caveat would be not getting to pick your own fresh produce (fruits, vegetables, meat).

    Voila is a great time saver!

    I really found this website easy to navigate. The calendar had many delivery option times and my delivery person showed up even a tad early which was great! I like that things don’t come in boxes which I just have to recycle anyway. The produce was fresh and unblemished, and the dairy items arrived nice and cold. The only down side is that I didn’t find all their prices to be as competitive as in stores and the selection wasn’t as extensive as I would have preferred.

    Some cons, but overall a good experience

    I received a discount as part of a Product Review Club offer and made a purchase on Voila, Sobey's food delivery service.

    There were many delivery options for any day of the week both during the day, all the way until late in the evening. Each delivery cost $7.99, no matter what day or time. I've used some other delivery services, and their fees are lower, and vary depending on the day and/or time of your delivery.

    It was fairly easy to place the order, and browse the sections. One of the confusing things, however, was that I place my order on Wednesday, choose my delivery time for Sunday, and it said that I had to finish my order by Wednesday at 4:30pm. I looked at the flyer specials, but they were all going to change on Thursday so I didn't think I'd be able to get any of the sale prices since I had to place my order by Wednesday. But then later, after I placed the order it said that I could make changes until Saturday. So that was a bit confusing.

    We were able to find the things we wanted. This trip we were mainly stocking up on meat and fish. There were very few options from the fresh butcher. I'm not sure if that's all of the time, but there was no chicken available. Fortunately, we were able to find what we wanted, however. Sobey's is a bit on the pricier side, but I do find their meats to be quality.

    The checkout was simple other then the fact that there was no place to put our Air Miles card information in.

    Our delivery man, Emilio was wonderful. He gave me a call to say he'd arrive in 10 minutes. When he arrived, he asked us about our experience, if it was our first time and assured us that he had checked the temperature of the meats that we had ordered.

    It's so easy and convenient

    I was given a $25 credit thru ChickAdvisor to give the new Voila By Sobeys online shopping/delivery service a try. To be honest I thought it would be a one and done experience simply to save $25 on my groceries, but I was very impressed with this service and will definitely use it again.

    First step was to create an account at the Voila By Sobeys website. Most of the account setup was easy, however I some issues adding in my delivery address. I tried a few formats, but eventually used the chat function to speak to customer service and they gave me the correct address format to use.
    I was pleasantly surprised to see that the prices were the same as store prices including sale items. Not only are there lots of products and brands available, you can also purchase Farm Boy branded products and other items from Well.ca
    Minimum delivery order size is $50, and the delivery fee is $7.99 (very reasonable). It was easy to add and remove items from my cart.

    My one concern was the delivery availability, having heard stories of people having to wait more than a week to get access to pick-up orders at other stores. This was not an issue, by placing my order Friday morning my first available delivery time was early the next morning (Sat) or any time thereafter, and you chose a 1 hour delivery slot. I chose 3 pm Sat.
    Once my order was submitted, I was also told I had until 7 pm that night to make any changes or additions to the order. I did log in a bit later just to confirm a couple of items.
    Shortly after 2:30 on Sat I received a call from my delivery person, confirming my delivery time and checking that it was still ok, and gave me his ETA.
    David arrived right on time, put the order together in his van, and then brought my groceries up to my front door, rang the bell and stood back. There were no substitutions to my order and all items were available. He was very friendly and told me that if I had any issues with any of the items, I could contact customer service for a refund.
    I received all the items I had ordered and everything was in great condition, nothing crushed or wilted.
    I will definitely use this process again to buy groceries, it's so easy and convenient.

    Safest Way to Shop Right Now

    I would highly recommend using this service, especially during the current COVID-19 issues. Ordering online was super easy. They also have lots of Farm Boy products to choose from. Delivery fee is lower than other grocery stores. Order was accurate and the products were very fresh. Delivered in a refrigerated truck and the employee was masked and gloved. Will definitely use again.
