Trader Joe’s does not offer home delivery. However, home delivery is something many people have gotten used to doing. Especially, after the pandemic, many people had no other option but to do it that way. It is true that many were reluctant to buy that way. Once they tried, some hated it and others loved it.
Nowadays, more and more businesses and even small shops are offering home delivery. Trader Joe’s does not follow suit though. Despite the fact that once this delivery system is working, it seems to be really simple and smooth, it is challenging. Planning everything and making investments in all the stores could be costly and could take years.
How would affect customers if Trader Joe’s offered a home delivery service?
Trader Joe’s would have to spend a lot of money and it would certainly affect the price of their items. Therefore, this cost would have an effect on customers’ finances. It is certainly not the right time to put up prices. Inflation and global affairs are already increasing the prices of fresh food and other essential goods.
Thus, it is unlikely that you could get Trader Joe’s delivery in the short term. Not to mention it would also imply changes in the staff they hire and their shifts. More workers would be necessary so this would mean even more expenses for the company.
What about the extraordinary experience and friendliness of their staff?
Going to Trader Joe’s is a rewarding experience in itself. Having delivery would mean losing the best part of it. Even if you cannot get home delivery you can always ask a friend or relative to get you Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips. Sparkling Honeycrisp Apple Juice would not be a bad option either.
So far, you will have to be content with not having a delivery when you cannot go to their stores. Many people believe that not having delivery will be able to preserve Trader Joe’s essence much longer. Having the possibility to talk to someone who is friendly and attentive is something customers deserve and they know many people love it and want it to be like that forever.
