About elGrocer

Customers Deserve Better

Welcome to a better delivery service in the UAE. I started el Grocer because I was a frustrated by consumer delivery services. Between the poor delivery times, rude customer service and the poor quality of the products that did get delivered... I knew there has to be another way.

I made el Grocer to be different, to be better, a grocery delivery service that works for the customer, not against him. Our Customer Service personnel are trained to be YOUR advocates when dealing with the store. We sign stores based on your wishes and encourage overlap so you always have a choice, we constantly update our product lists so you don't have to compromise on your grandma's favorite recipes.

8.Is there any minimum order or delivery charge for deliveries?

Our prices are the same as you see in stores. Some stores require more delivery men that work in shifts. This means minimum orders and delivery fees vary according to the retailer you order from. Smaller stores take orders with basket values as low as AED30. While in the case of some retailers that deliver in the same building or within 500m there are no delivery fees. All delivery terms are shown as details for our listed stores as well as on your order summary screen, where you are prompted to confirm your order.

    The search and shopping list feature works wonderfully. There are plenty of stores to choose from, and the coverage is impressive. Customer support stands out with their helpfulness.

    This app really disappoints. The online support is just terrible. You sit there waiting for at least 30 minutes to get a response. Then you wait another 5 to 10 minutes for them to actually reply in the chat. A phone call would definitely be quicker. The chat feature doesn’t even have notifications. You have to keep the chat open and wait for a response. If you leave the app, you need to check back regularly to see if there's a reply. In some stores, items show up as available but aren’t actually updated in the app. Some call to sort things out, while others just send whatever they feel like without telling you. It’s frustrating.

    What a frustrating experience! I placed an order and received confirmation, then waited for hours only to be told it couldn't be completed. The next day, my order finally arrived but was all wrong. Missing items, prices didn’t match what was shown. I tried to get help through the app, but that chat feature was totally useless. Customer service left a lot to be desired. It’s better to choose another app for groceries. Don't bother with this one!
