Alberta shoppers, grab your credit cards.

Amazon.ca has (finally!) announced they're bringing free one-day delivery to Calgary and Edmonton.

All qualifying orders over $25 that are placed before 4 p.m. will arrive before 9 p.m. the next day, including weekends, the Seattle-based company announced Tuesday.

Sweet. I've been buying more and more from them. So much easier than going to a store, as long as you don't need it that day.

What re-occurringstuff can you buy from Amazon.ca?

I want to start replacing my weekly household/grocery shopping with online shopping, but their selection still looks crappy

Diapers.

It's awesome. One giant thing to not lug home from the grocery store.

We buy our laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, toothpaste, diapers, soap, body lotion etc using Subscribe and Save on Amazon. 15% off if you have more than 5 items and delivered free very month. It's the cheapest option for buying durables. Yes selection is not as good as in grocery stores but if you find the right items it works out well.

been using them for just over a month now to do my weekly shop. so easy and only ~$10 delivery fee ( variable based on time, could be as low as $5 if you get it delivered between 7-9pm on either friday or saturday)

I wonder if Save On Foods delivers to Chestermere...

Superstore also has a shop online option, though they only have pickup not delivery.

[photon]

Oh and good news about Amazon, I also find I'm buying more and more from them after I finally got Prime.

[DoubleK]

This is an awesome service. I've used it in San Fran a couple times.

Oh boy another chance for Intelcom to try and deliver to my office that has already been closed for 3 hours.

I wish that there was a way to specify things like that to Amazon. For office orders, I'd rather have it during business hours in 2-3 days than "by 9pm" tomorrow.

For home orders, however, this is just awesome.

I discovered the diaper benefits a little too late for my kid, but if I was still purchasing the poop catchers, I'd definitely do it on Amazon.

They have started to stock more dry grocery goods, but I haven't really jumped into that. Seems easier to add it to my weekly Superstore order.

But all of the items you've listed are great on Prime.

One thing that I have found useful is setting price alerts for some of your common items. I like to use Finish Quantum dishwasher tabs. An 80 pack at Superstore is currently $26.98. You'll see them on Amazon for about $23. Currently selling for $15, which is no small difference. And they arrive at my door before I'd even have a chance to go to Superstore.

Someone on CalgaryPuck introduced me to the world of camelcamelcamel.ca and I was fiddling around and set a price alert on them just for fun. Now I use that site to check prices on all of my regular purchases, if not for alerts, sometimes just to see the recent price history to know if I'm getting a good price or not.

Wow I might never leave home again

We use the strategy of Superstore click and collect for all fresh groceries and small durables. And leave the big stuff on Amazon. It seems to work well. and no in-store shopping required! All of the stuff arrives at home or is picked up once a week on the way home from work. The Amazon stuff you have to watch or you end up with too much of one thing and not of another but after a little while the frequency gets calibrated.

I am intrigued by the save-on-foods delivery to home option now. But the cost of the groceries might be a negative. Save on has been a more premium priced store in my expereince. But a head to head weekly shop list cost vs superstore might be useful... interesting project

For some people leaving home isn't an option (which I gained insight into with my off again on again romance with vertigo), so it's nice to see these options for those people too.

Walmart is a couple dollars cheaper for Pampers swaddlers sensitive, though amazon has the 156 box and Walmart only carries the 80 box.

[Violator]

Would be nice if they could get better with there two day shipping ordered 5 things on Monday for the gfs birthday few thing didn't ship till today and im expecting delivery of those items from tomorrow till Monday.

[btimbit]

Nice, I've began using them for lots of essentials like cleaning products, toilet paper, laundry detergent, and even some grocery dry goods like cereal

[malcolmk14]

Amazon Prime has been the best thing ever. Need paper towel or toilet paper or any of those giant things that you hate carrying around the grocery store? Boom, 2 day delivery and cheaper price!

[BigNumbers]

This is amazing! Thanks for the heads up. The weekend delivery is equally as sweet as the next day delivery.

Also that Save on Foods delivery option is pretty skookum too.
