This series come for foreigner in Taiwan who want to get more information about local life. Look forward to introduce a lot of useful tips and interesting things including traffics, traveling, shopping, and chill places.
---------------------
COVID-19 didn't hurt Taiwan so that much during 2020, but it suddenly broke out in middle May this year, Taiwan government announced level 3 alert since that time, and it doesn't end till now. Although government doesn't strickly prohibit people to go out from home, but all Taiwanese know that gathering especially indoor is highly dangerous, so people turn to online shopping more and more. If you still have to go to supermarkets/convenience stores to shop, you've better get everything done at one time as possible, and minimize numbers of going out. Better choose few people time to go, for example mid-night or early morning.
Here are my recommend ways to get groceries, especially suitable for single who are not capable for store too much fresh food at one time.
1. 熊貓超市 foodpanda market: Different from other delivery platform, foodpanda has its own stock warehouses located different city in order to build up its virtual market. It would be more faster than request the deliveryman to go to the phisical traditional markets to buy things for customer. The products are various, you can get almost everthing from chicken breast to toothpaste. Mind this service probably close temporary during meal time rush hour. If you need to use foodpanda service frequently, you may consider about join the foodpanda pro solution to save the fees.
* Uber Eats Groceries: I used before, Carrefour and PX mart, but I never tried successfully since this time CVID-19 outbreaks. I always get canceld or happen unknown error in my order. You still can try out if it works in your location area.
2. 全家行動購 Family Mart E-commerce App: It's a E-commerce platform belongs Family Mart. Order in the App, and pick up directly at the store nearest you. I Highly recommed it because of its efficiet delivery speed about in 2-3 days. A lot of food factories sell their product on this channel, and you can get them with only small amount but in a nice price. Maybe the similer products you've seen on other sites, for example "i3 fresh", but you have to buy at least 5 or 10 every same item to get the lower price, how unfriendly to single people!
Google Play DL here. iOS App Store DL here.
3. 全家便利商店 Family Mart: At the same time you can shop some other groceries when you go to the store to pick up the package. For example, beers or fresh vegetables. In Taiwan you can't easily buy alcohol product through internet. Our convenience store are famous for variety, maybe a bit higher price but definetly convenient. Especially stores located in living community, usually have more life groceries inside.
4. momo shop / yahoo購物中心: These are all the most popular E-commerce platform in Taiwan. The freight transport volume suddenly increase a lot due to people stay at home, so most online shopping delivery average costs 5-10 days. PChome really got big problem for dealing with delivery at the beginning of middle May. In my opion, momo and yahoo recover from this situation more quickly, now only take 3-5 days to send product to customer. Some groceries not urgently needed could be ordered form here in better price.
* Other online shopping platform as Shopee, it depends on which deliver channel seller choose.
