Too expensive, not enough products

Voila by Sobeys might be worth it if they had more diverse items available, but I keep kosher and I was unable to get any kosher meat or cheese using this service. Therefore it too hard to reach the $50 minimum for free delivery, and the service is not worth using at all.

Pros and cons

I received a $25 off $100 voucher in exchange for my review of Sobey's new grocery delivery service, Voila. I am an avid online grocery shopper and have tried both PC and Walmart's versions of this services, which all have their pros and cons, and I would say the same about Sobeys.

Pros: Site was easy to navigate, small selection of Farm Boy and Well products available, no surprise substitutions

Cons: Lots of items out of stock and/or not available online, markup on items, very expensive delivery fee ($7.99)

Ultimately because of the cons, I was not able to fill my cart with enough to meet the $90 threshold for this promotion, and did not place my order, so I cannot speak to the delivery process. I would be more inclined to try again with a smaller threshold and perhaps a smaller delivery fee.

Too many items out of stock!

I love shopping at Sobey‘s so when I heard about this service, I was very excited. I got even more excited when I heard that Sobeys had teamed up with farmboy and well.ca. Signing up was easy enough and my desired delivery day and time were available. I started adding items to my shopping cart but suddenly I started seeing that a lot of the items that I needed were out of stock. Items like fresh sweet peppers, zucchini, celery, fresh corn etc. I feel like those items should be easy to come by. Also, some items I wanted aren’t even carried by them online which is strange since I have bought them in store. The service requires a $50 minimum which is fine but since I was doing a promotion through ChickAdvisor, I had to spend a minimum of $100. Since so many items were out of stock, I was not able to get enough groceries to make that amount. I found this promotion not worth the time or savings because I still would’ve had to pay $7.99 for the delivery. I’m very disappointed.
