My 1st ever Morrison's online shopping experience

Morrisons approached me to try out their online service, as they have started delivering in my area - East London. And to be honest I have never ever shopped at Morrison's so I have no preconceptions, but I was a little apprehensive to try them, not sure why, I guess us Brits don't like change so much. The supermarkets on my local high street (5 mins walk away) are Tesco and Co-op, so that's where I shop most often. Sometimes I make a special effort to shop at Waitrose's because they sell the best meat produce out of all my local supermarkets. If I shop online, I use Tesco, but it always takes so bloody long that I just usually end up buying from the shops on my high street most days. Not ideal. So I'll detail my Morrison experience.

To celebrate coming the service coming to London, they sent a giant yellow pepper around. 

Online shopping:

I'm surprised by how quick and easy the site is to navigate.

The searching and displaying of items is easy, and visually it works well.

Similar items are easily comparable and they work out the price differences for you.

I'm not really that techy so I don't really know why the website works so much quicker/better that my previous online experience - but it does. (Whoever did their website is a genius!).

The only downside is I wanted more organic items to be available, but it's not a biggy.

Delivery:

I opted to have my food delivered the next day. I could edit the shopping list up until 11pm the previous evening as you'd expect.

The delivery charge was £3, you can opt for a time when they are already delivering in your area for a lower charge.

I had a text (and email) to say my delivery will come between 4-5pm as requested and my delivery guy was called Marc. And a list of my substitutions - which I was happy to accept. I have had some very odd substitution suggestions in the past but these were very similar.

Marc was on time and really friendly, he explained everything well and asked if I wanted him to check the fresh produce with me to see if I was happy.

The bags are delivered in colour coded plastic bags to make packing away much easier - and it really did.

Colour coded bags.

Food:

I wasn't about to compare the whole shop but I did compare the 1st three items with my usual online supermarket. I tend to buy big brand items so these are easily comparable;

Green Giant 4 x tinned sweetcorn Morrsions: £2.44 Tesco £2.45

Princes tinned tuna in spring water x 4 Morrisons £3.50 (on offer) Tesco £6.00

Heinz Baked beans x4 Morrsion £2.00 Tesco £2.50

On my receipt it said my total savings were £16.88 I noticed they also suggest cheaper alternatives when online.

The fruit and veg have a rosette rating and that tells you whether it's at it's very best or not. So far all the fruit I've tried has tasted was very good, as it should be. I haven't tried any of the meat yet, so I will cook something soon and let you know how that goes. 

Overall:

I'm struggling to find fault with it. I've been very pleased with how easy to shop online was, and the delivery was spot on, loved the colour coded bags to assist with packing away, the food has all tasted delicious so far. They have definitely gained at least one Morrisons shopper here. 

Have you shopped at Morrisons before? What did you think? Or if they deliver to your area, try shopping online and let me know what you thought.
