FreshDirect Introduces Unlimited Deliveries for Set Fee
NEW YORK -- Online grocer FreshDirect here has launched DeliveryPass, which allows customers to receive unlimited deliveries during a six-month period for a one-time fee of $99. The service covers residential deliveries throughout FreshDirect's designated service area.
DeliveryPass holders can also use FreshDirect's Reserve Delivery Time feature for exclusive access to preferred delivery slots. Shoppers can reserve a delivery window at any time -- up to a week before checkout -- or arrange for FreshDirect to hold a regular space for them each week.
Customers who purchase a DeliveryPass will additionally receive a coupon code for a free two-pack of FreshDirect's Grilled Thin-Crust Mozzarella Pizzas, valued at $15.99.
FreshDirect, which currently serves most of Manhattan and locations in Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, as well as parts of New Jersey, Westchester, and Nassau County, has over 250,000 customers and has fulfilled nearly 5 million orders since it opened for business in September 2002.
