Which grocery delivery service is best? We rated each of Toronto’s best-known grocery delivery services on speed, value, accuracy and ease. Voilà, PC Express, Metro and Instacart were put to the test and there was a clear winner.

When it opened for business in 1989, Chicago-based Peapod offered something unimaginable at the time: fresh groceries delivered right to your door.

With the pandemic ushering in a new era of get-it-fast grocery delivery, competition in the market is stiff. Hundreds of grocery delivery trucks cross the GTA each day, and it seems there’s no shortage of new online grocers trying to take a bite out of this red-hot market. Perhaps most innovative, and appreciated, is Voilà’s dynamic delivery pricing. Delivery fees vary depending on the one-hour time slot you select, with slots in the evening typically cheaper than those in the afternoon or late morning. Another plus: tipping is not expected and unlike some other delivery services, there are no annoying service fees or surcharges.

Its website is neatly laid out, easy to navigate and offers various filters so you can quickly find the best products for the right price. Flyer deals are extensive, offering significant savings across the store. PC Express’s sales section was limited — though there were a surprising number of discounted hair-colouring products. Most of the deals are “multis,” meaning you have to buy two, sometimes three, of the same products to be eligible for savings — ideal, perhaps for those with large households, but not so much for those living alone.
