For some (probably even most) stuff, but not everything.
Fareway also doesn't carry as many brands/flavors/types of certain things.

Anyone heard of Costco providing pick up or delivery? The larger quantities of non perishable meat and produce would seem to be a better fit for us.
Have to like this. Hate that you get bad groceries and then it is like, "return it and we will credit you".. Like who is going to drive to store to return $3.00 in bad apples?
Know people who use the service and like it but I refuse to. I actually enjoy going grocery shopping (two young boys in tow too). I think others have touched on the drawbacks of the service quite nicely. ie Produce and meats, basically anything that isn't processed. I'd also mention, they don't have every single product listed on their website so you may miss a few special deals in store.
I also enjoy the social aspect of seeing everyone at the store and having my boys practice at theirs.
Anyway... the service isn't for me, but I understand it is for some people.

I think others have pinponted my problems with it also. The things that are not perishable are just so much less expensive elsewhere and I don't trust them with the rest. I prefer Fareway for meat and produce as well.
I really wish they would do the delivery free though for elderly and invalid customers. We have a mom and pop store in town that still does that but they don't have the largest selection.
However, for people with busy lives who don't mind paying more for their groceries, it seems like a nice service.

The myth that Fareway has fresher/better product. Maybe your Fareway is better than the ones near me which are not that great.
Both Fareway and Hy-Vee vary greatly by store. Our Fareway is great and our Hy-Vee sucks.
So my wife and I know the Waukee Hy Vee inside and out but between a broken back (me) and a totally busted up ankle (wife) she just tried this tonight. Curious to see how it goes first delivery.
She was very pumped at the order process as it seemed Hy Vee's website has been tracking our history. Very easy ordering but wondering how the produce and meat will go...

haha I hear ya. I worked in a produce aisle throughout high school and college.....and I still love to shop on-site.
I really cringe when some cashier is weighing my apples and bounces them down the counter to the bag boy.
wtf? they fricking bruise! I'll grab them out of the cashier's hand
You can favorite items that you buy on a regular basis, too. Makes it easier t find them on future orders. There's a heart icon up in the top left or right corner; I forget which.
I started doing the pickup service about two months ago. It still takes me a good half hour to order a week's worth of groceries online but I can also do it at the crack of dawn while my family is still asleep. Saves us a family trip to the store later and we can do other stuff with our time - park, bikes, naps, whatever. But I still get my produce on site.
My wife's a HyVee employee. Maybe I can use this feature to have her get paid to shop and deliver groceries to my house.
Showing our age here, but PapaLew & I really miss SaveUMore where we bagged our own groceries. We don't like the two items per bag or the bread smushed in alongside other stuff. On the big grocery trips we would also bag according to fridge, freezer, cupboards & bathroom. Made it easier to put the groceries away when you had two to three carts worth (houseful of teenage boys).
I generally still get my produce, dairy & bread, but the dry goods I'll order and pick up on my way home.
As a Hy Vee employee, I can vouch that each aisles online shopper is trained how to correctly tell ripe fruit from overly ripe or rotting. Sounds absurd, but it's true. At least that's how it works in my store
I would like to try it, I just wish someone in this thread would give some advice as to whether it's good to use for meat and produce.
You'd think your produce manager could tell rotting and remove it from the sales floor.
