Watch out for these 5 online grocery companies during COVID-19 Lockdown

Online grocery company delivering to your doorstep during COVID-19

A month ago, we would have been incredulously dismissive of our routine today if we could have looked into a crystal ball. Yet, social distancing is the etiquette for the month, and a strict countrywide lockdown is on. Social life is on lockdown, but not life itself. Life is continuing, and for it to survive, its basic needs have to be fulfilled. Each one of us is totally dependent on the society around us to fulfil our basic needs; we stopped being self-sufficient long ago.

Rest assured, the social machinery around you is working hard to make everyday essentials available to every nook and corner of the country. In the initial few days, you may have faced a few hiccups in the system, but the system is now fully geared to match your needs. Technology is playing a big role in ensuring that humanity continues to thrive. You too, put technology to work, match your requirements to any of the following online grocery shopping platforms, and get your doorstep delivery:‍

Some of the most popular online grocery platforms

Big Basket

The best online grocery store in India. Big Basket assures it is operational across all its cities, including Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Noida-Ghaziabad, Gurgaon, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Patna, Lucknow-Kanpur, Jaipur, Indore, Bhopal, Chandigarh Tri-City, Vijayawada, Mysore, Vizag, and Coimbatore. It is working hard to be operational in Kochi very soon. This is your go-to supermarket, especially if fresh fruits and vegetables are on your shopping list. The platform faced a huge rush of orders in the last few days, but is expecting to clear it all soon.‍

Flipkart

Flipkart delivers to maximum post codes in India. If you are ordering for yourself or a loved one where access might be an issue, place your faith in Flipkart, and the online giant will be sure to fulfil your order. Order premium quality products for food and nutrition, home and personal care, baby care, and pet care essentials. Just be mindful while ordering; on some essential products, Flipkart expresses its inability to take return requests for some essential items. Also, owing to the current situation, only the delivery of essential items is permitted. So be mindful of what you order. Luxury can take a backseat for now.‍
