Gorillas grocery delivery service

I saw a tv advert for a delivery company called Gorillas that claim to deliver within 10mins.
HAS ANYONE TRIED THEM?

not really. seems cool. have you tried it out?

nannymaroon

I've downloaded the app but not tried it yet. I'm due to do an online big shop this week but would rather not spend the £40minimum to get a supermarket delivery.

I don't know anything about it or anyone who has used it.

might be a scam. might be genuine sounds a scam

more then likely a scam, if people had used it then maybe not but because it's not got credit for being genuine like has it got reviews? never heard a supermarket like that

Hi @nannymaroon - not having had TV for 2 months, due to a mast burning down, I haven't seen any adverts! I've had a look online, & perhaps you may like to do the same. Here's their history: https://ecommercenews.eu/german-delivery-service-gorillas-launches-in-london/      & some reviews, but not all from the UK, & like any platform, which review is correct?

Some more info here..doesn't sound great to be honest, but not a scam.

Doesn't sound 100% perfect but then, what is?
I thought I'd try it for small mid week shopping.
 I still am wary of going out esp as we are entering flu season on top of covid.

Physically impossible for anybody to deliver anything within 10 minutes, so I'd be suspicious.

nannymaroon

I'm not so fussed about the 10min claim. I just want to buy bits I've run out of and I'd rather not go to a big supermarket myself. So I thought this might work for me.
 I think I'll try it tomorrow. I don't have high hopes other than it being cheaper than deliveroo or Uber eats.

Cheaper delivery, but some say not equivalent to supermarket prices, rather higher, so, dependent on what you want, it may, or may not, overall cost more. Let us know how you get on.

Despite seeing Gorillas delivery advertised on tv, I'm disappointed to learn that they don't deliver to my town, yet.
