Amazon Fresh

A long time FreshDirect user, I tried AmazonFresh for the first time today as they are piloting their NY roll out in Park Slope. The product list available is much much more extensive then Fresh Direct (as a vegan, they have many more vegan products) AND at much cheaper rates. You can get a same-​day order in if you order before 10AM. The time slots are also hourly, versus bi-​hourly with FreshDirect, which is better because you know within a narrower window of time when they will be there. For now, the service is free to Prime members, but allegedly will go up to $ 299 per year in 2015.
The delivery arrived on time, the delivery people were very friendly, the products were as ordered BUT…
I can’t order from them again. For $ 45 worth of groceries, I had a stack of styrofoam packaging 2.5 feet high when stacked!!! (They package cold items in dry ice and styrofoam rather than refrigerate in the trucks, I suppose). Additionally, the other products came in canvas bags with plastic bags inside. I love canvas bags, but what does one do with 10 of them, and all that plastic. No one can morally buy from AF as long as the waste produced is so great. If they revise their packaging strategy, I would order again, but not until then.
