Grocery Home Delivery When Can't Make it to the Door

Hello, does anyone know of a grocery delivery service that will leave the groceries in a safe space rather than requiring a signature?

My brother is not able to get to the door, and therefore cannot sign for the delivery.

Thank you for any guidance.

    Hi @Santosha12 and thank you. Being able to get the shopping left in a safe box would be perfect.


    Unfortunately, I wasn’t clear in my message. The online delivery services from the big retailers don’t actually need a signature. But they do need the door to be opened for them, which is what my brother can’t do.

    @Santosha12 , Thank you. A contact at Tesco would be amazing. I spoke to lady in their call centre who was really lovely, but unfortunately couldn't offer any help.

    @TTTB

    I know that the Amazon drivers around my area are a bit happier to leave groceries wherever the customer is ok with.
    If there is a safe place they can leave it?

    The only thing with groceries on Amazon is that they seem to up the prices on certain things and don’t usually have the full range listed.

    Or would it be possible for your brother to use a 2 way audible doorbell to perhaps give the verbal consent to the bigger retailers for them to leave in the safe place?
