Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
Q: Can I shop my entire weekly shopping list?
A: You'll find the
selection here is the same as you'd find at your regular supermarket. We carry
brand name canned goods and household supplies. We also offer the highest
quality fresh produce, meats, dairy goods as well as a fully stocked freezer
section. The one thing we don't carry is that sign that reads "Please use next
cashier".
|
Q: What types of payment do you accept?
A: We accept Visa, MasterCard. We also feature withdrawals from your Account Funds. You can determine which method you wish to use during the checkout process. Your order is authorized when you order but billed after you receive and sign for your order. Please note your purchase will be in Bahamian Dollars.
|
Q: What type of currency do you accept?
A: We accept Bahamian dollars.
|
Q: What is the "Account Funds" feature?
A:(Vacationers) This feature is for multiple groups or families
that are vacationing together. An email can be sent from the FoodStore2Go.com
user that will order the groceries for the group. In this email there will be
directions for each party instructing them on how to deposit funds into the
Grocery Pool. Money is directed through us from each party's credit card into
the FoodStore2Go.com user's account and the group has their grocery money
situated before arriving on vacation.
A:(Locals) This feature lets you deposit a budgeted amount of money
into your FoodStore2Go.com account to withdraw against from your continual
grocery purchases. Say if you only want to spend $500 a month on groceries,
deposit that much in the beginning of the month and you'll be able to track how
much you are spending throughout. Furthermore, if someone would like to fund
your grocery purchases, they may do so by adding funds to your account using the
e-mail address that we have on file for you.
|
Q: Do you have a minimum order amount?
A: Yes, our minimum order amount is $50. You will not be able
to checkout until your shopping cart amount is above $50.
|
Q: How much time do I have to place my order before my requested
delivery day?
A: Your order needs to be in 1 day before your delivery day by
8 pm. Items will not be picked until the morning of your delivery, but for
scheduling needs we need to know where we're going 1 day in advance. If your
delivery day is Monday, you must order by 8 pm on Sunday. If your delivery day
is Saturday, you must order by 8 pm on Friday. And so on.
|
Q: Can I change my order after it has been placed?
A: If you wish to change an order, please email us with the
items you would like to change. We will accept any order changes 1 day before
your delivery by 6 pm. A change to an order will result in an additional charge
to your card, but no extra fees.
|
Q: How do I cancel an order?
A:Cancelling an order can be completed by emailing us and
stating your name, order number, and request for cancellation. Orders can only
be cancelled 1 day before your delivery by 6pm. If an order is cancelled less
than the required time beforehand, a $30 fee applies.
|
Q: How will I know that my order was received?
A: Every time you submit your order, a confirmation email will
be automatically sent to you. If you do not receive confirmation within one
hour, please email us to verify the status of your order.
|
Q: Do you accept corporate orders?
A: Yes, we certainly do. The delivery fee for corporate orders
is $9.
|
Q: What do you do if an item is out of stock?
A: We attempt to get every single item on your list. At times,
the items you choose may be out of inventory. If this is the case, we will
purchase an equivalent item at no extra cost. If we do not find an equivalent
item or you are not satisfied with the equivalent item, you will be credited to
your account the value of the original item.
|
Q: There is a problem with my groceries, what should I do?
A: We handle all customer complaints seriously. When possible,
notify your driver right away when receiving your order. Please contact us
immediately at the phone number on your receipt or by email if you have any
concerns about your groceries. We prefer email so we have a written account of
the problem. Please understand you must contact us within 24 hours after your
delivery if you have a concern about the freshness of our groceries or if you
feel an item is missing. Be assured we double-check all orders when they are
picked up and before they are delivered. But our business rests entirely on
delivering the highest quality of groceries so we always want to know if you are
unhappy with your order.
|
Q: Will the perishable items I receive be close to the expiry date?
A: Freshness is as important to us as it is to you. In fact, we
have a Freshness Guarantee, so you can be sure your fresh items will arrive with
a certain minimum number of days left before expiry.

A: No, we do not need to know the room number before you arrive. Please do be sure to include the name of the registered guest as well as the hotel name. We will contact you at the hotel in your room via the switchboard. Also, we do request that you call use when you arrive at 242-557-3663 (the front desk can help you) so that we know you’ve arrived and can get your room number. All local hotels and resorts are very accustomed to FoodStore2Go delivering to their guests.
|
Q: I’m staying at a rental villa. How do you get the groceries to us?
A: You should contact your property manager or person you’re renting from and arrange a time for your order to be delivered. Then simply place your order and choose that delivery time. Someone MUST be at the property to receive your order (yourself on the day you arrive or your property manager). As with all deliveries, we’ll call ahead 15 minutes before delivering. We have a great relationship with many of the property managers on the island and you’ll love having your groceries prestocked. Note that check-in times are different for all villas – we’ll work with the manager in anyway we can to get your groceries ahead of time.
|
Q: Do you do additional deliveries during our stay if we need more groceries?
A: Of course! Just place your order by 8pm the previous day for next day delivery. Note your delivery date and time and we’ll deliver to you. Many people underestimate their needs.

|
Q: Do I have to be home when I want my food delivered?
A: Yes, local residents must be home when we deliver your
groceries. It is imperative that local residents be present during the delivery
time you choose. If you are not present during your delivery time, we will stop
by at the end of our delivery route to see if we can find you then. If so you
will be subject to an additional $10 redelivery charge. If you are again not
home during our second attempt then the order is cancelled and you will be
charged a $30 restocking fee.
|
Q: Can I have my order delivered to a different address?
A: Yes. During the checkout process you will be asked for your delivery address. Simply change this address to the one you wish to have the delivery. Your selection will be delivered to the location you enter.
|
Q: Do I have to give an exact time of when I want my food delivered?
A: You will be given an option upon checkout of what date and
what hour time slot you would like your food delivered. During this hour your
food will arrive and we cannot specify if it will be the beginning or the end of
the hour you will see our smiling driver. But, you won't have to sacrifice your
whole day waiting for the doorbell to ring. We'll always call you approximately
15 minutes prior to delivery, just to let you know we're on our way.
|
Q: Should I tip the delivery person?
A: Tipping is absolutely optional - prompt, professional and courteous service is our commitment to you whether you tip or not. No driver should request a tip from you directly nor should he or she expect one.
