Let me just say I've been a freelance writer for many years, writing articles, blogs and reviews on literally everything..  including healthcare, food, travel and services..

After moving to TN in 2014..  I found myself searching for service providers in everything from healthcare to auto care... and after settling into my apartment I looked for what was available in restaurant delivery services.. ultimately having to settle for the typical go to places pizza and Asian food.. However over the past few years there has been a dramatic change in delivery services available.. For example in 2017.. I found Blueraiderfood and literally leaped for joy at the ability to get more than the typical food delivery... In fact they quickly stated they were a growing local delivery service that would be adding more and more eateries as time went on.. and they definitely have.. I still order from Blueraider but after wanting more choices in cuisine I finally started to order from GrubHub one of their competitors.. and I can honestly say they definitely have some stiff competition.. and not for any other reason than they both are fighting for essentially the same patrons..

However in my opinion they both are equal opponents.. after all there are plenty of eateries for them to share.. and I know there are other delivery services available in the area as well..Look I am a shopper and if one has a coupon..or I am looking for a certain cuisine.. it just depends on what I am looking for as to which one I will order from.. both have equally as nice delivery people.. both are pretty much equal on service fees.. and from a patron that has spent definitely more than I need to on food delivery I will continue to use them both..

I also want to offer a quick review on InstaCart.. For a long time now I have been using Kroger's Clicklist pickup service and will honestly continue to do so.. after all I live next to Kroger's and it is very easy to use .. quick.. and even though you pay a small shopping fee.. it is worth it considering when I did my own shopping I always spent more than I needed by impulse buying

However recently due to sickness and weather decided to use InstaCart grocery delivery.. and I have only used it twice..but I think it is great as well.. and again just as in restaurant delivery it definitely has a place in today's society.. After all it is 2019 people..

I am certain some people would say services like this are just services based on convenience and I am not going to disagree..  there is a lot to be said for the convenience factor..but it is so much more.. lets say your sick, the weather is horrible, elderly, or perhaps you have only one vehicle and the spouse needs it for work... there are a lot of reasons why a customer might need one of these services.. and I for one welcome the benefit..

I can remember years ago having my groceries or prescriptions delivered was thought of as literally a service that a customer might receive during extreme circumstances.. and a lot of it was based on the circumstances or availability of delivery personnel.. For example I lived in a small town that would deliver if there was anyway possible to shut in, the elderly or someone who had medical issue..

At least for me having delivery services available is a great thing and a service that is here to stay..
