Have any of you guys used their services?
Do they really deliver in 2 hours?

Looks like you need to spend at least RD$1,500. I guess it will have to wait as I just went shopping this afternoon

I remember when they tried this in California. It failed miserably. Let's see if the DR can get it done.

FreshDirect works in Nueva Yol.
Many newer buildings have cold rooms so you can have groceries delivered while at work.

I agree with windeguy, this is a tough business to be in. Their prices are pretty good, when you factor in the overhead, card transaction fee etc, they must be on a thin margin, a rare thing indeed in the DR.

I hope they have deep pockets and people use them, would like to see them stick around and grow.
