Postmates has become the favorite on-demand delivery service by many consumers who want quickly and easily enjoy restaurant meals at home -- now there's Postmates Fresh, which offers a selection of curated high-quality groceries.
Along with a newly redesigned app, Postmates launched Fresh, which makes it possible for app users to get everything from kombucha to organic apples within minutes. As Postmates notes, the average delivery time is just 30 minutes in comparison to the two-hour window of most of its competitors. As such, Postmates is set to challenge other on-demand grocery services from Amazon and Instacart.
Postmates Fresh is being branded as an "on-demand Farmer’s Market" that is ideal for last-minute cooking essentials or items that one has forgotten to pick up themselves at the grocery store.
