Scheduled Grocery Delivery Holds Ground Amid Quick Commerce Boom

Grocery shoppers do not always need their food immediately.

Many people use quick delivery when they urgently need something, such as milk, bread or snacks.

They often use scheduled delivery when they are buying a larger amount of groceries.

A scheduled delivery lets companies plan routes and combine orders more efficiently.

This can make large grocery orders more economical.

Services such as BigBasket and Zepto still offer or test delivery time slots.

Milk, eggs, bread and fresh staples also continue to be delivered on regular schedules.

However, some companies are moving toward faster delivery because customers increasingly expect it.

Both quick and scheduled delivery can continue because they serve different shopping needs.
