Online Grocery
Online Grocery is the act of consumers or customers buying
foodstuffs, various household and everyday supplies via the Internet.
It is similar in concept to the physical aspect of consumers going
down personally to any of such stores to purchase the necessary
everyday commodities or as and when required to.
Online grocers are sellers who deal with grocery products and may or
may not have their personal shop front(s) for
selling grocery. However, it
is for certain that they are required to sell or promote the products
pertaining to grocery on the Internet through any form of websites and
be able to conduct online transactions of trade to be headlined under
this term.
To be able to shop online, consumers must have access to any computer
connected to the net and majority of them should have their own credit
card or other forms of cash-less method to pay. This will let
consumers have more options of choosing the either the convenient way
of obtaining their grocery or the hassle of spending time going down
to the desired
shopping store
or supermarket and engaging in long queues just to achieve the same
objective.
Online Grocery is a form of business-to-consumer (B2C) transaction.
Online Grocery shopping has yet to become popular but is fast becoming
a rising trend and has the potential to extend its influence much
faster than actual grocery shopping which has reached saturation point
and is likely to be on the declining trend in the near future.
History of Online Grocery Shopping Online grocery shopping
came about in the US in the mid-1990s during the "dotcom" craze.
However, it stagnated for quite some time as consumers weren't yet
ready to trust the internet with something as important as their
grocery lists. However, now that
internet shopping
is such an enormously gigantic business, it's no wonder that there is
a new buzz around online grocery shopping. If you are going to give it
a try, you should have a high-speed internet connection. Using a
dial-up connection will be very slow and frustrating, and you'll end
up having to spend more time buying groceries from your home computer
than you would probably spend driving to the store as you normally do.
Trends in Online Grocery Shopping
When an online grocery shopper has a good first experience with a
certain website sixty percent of the time they will return to that
website to buy more.
According to research found in the Journal of Electronic Commerce, if
we focus on the demographic characteristics of the in-home shopper, in
general, the higher the level of education, income, and occupation of
the head of the household, the more favourable the perception of
non-store grocery shopping.
One knows exactly which website to enter, how much on the
average the goods will cost, and the time taken for the goods to reach
them. Online grocery shopping has become extremely routine and
predictable, which is one of its greatest appeals to the consumer.
The moment a consumer selects a product or finishes his/her
selection, most online grocery retailers will employ the
shopping cart
software which will tabulate the cost of items in the shopping cart
with the option of allowing consumers to adjust the quantity of items
in the shopping cart list, by analogy with filling a physical shopping
cart or basket in a
conventional store. One such
shopping cart with user-friendly features can be found in Yumtrade. A
"checkout" process follows (continuing the physical-store analogy) in
which payment and delivery information is collected, if necessary.
Some stores allow consumers to sign up for a permanent online account
so that some or all of the user's necessary information only needs to
be entered once. The consumer often receives an e-mail confirmation
once the transaction is complete. Less sophisticated stores may rely
on consumers to phone or e-mail their orders (though credit card
numbers are not accepted by e-mail, for security reasons).
Payment
Online grocery shoppers normally use credit card to make payments due
to the fact they usually buy in bulk, however some systems enable
customers to create personal accounts and pay by alternative means,
such as:
Debit card
Various types of electronic money
Cash on delivery (C.O.D., offered by very few
online stores)
Cheque
PayPal
Google Checkout
Product delivery
Once a payment has been accepted the goods can be delivered in the
following ways.
Delivery: The products are sent to the customer's address.
In-store pickup : The customer orders online, finds a
local store
using locator software and picks the products up at the
closest store.
Of course, majority of the customers will want their grocery
being delivered right to the doorstep instead of going to the
nearest store
to collect their purchase as it will defeat the main purpose of doing
online grocery shopping. People usually do their grocery shopping
online so as to cut down on the time and effort(physically) taken
otherwise spent to do normal
grocery shopping. Despite
that, there definitely will be people who think that the delivery fee
spent on online grocery and checking out the conditions of grocery on
the spot outweighs the cost of time and effort to lug the bags of
grocery back home, but these are most likely the minority.
Usually, online grocers only cater to consumers living within a
certain district or location because of the fragility and the
freshness of the said products. Therefore, it is quite difficult to
guarantee the condition of the grocery if such grocers are to deliver
the consumers' purchase over a long distance, like state to state or
country to country.
However, since majority of grocery shopping are usually done in
bulk, the more convenient and cost-effective (time, physical effort)
way of receiving your grocery is by delivery up to your doorstep like
what one of the website known as Yumtrade has to offer.
Consumers’ demands and expectations
Satisfactory:
Increased customization, e.g. "capability to treat customers as
individuals".
Able to do online grocery shopping 24/7.
Discounts resulting in lower prices
Able to fulfill most shoppers' needs. Comparison between several
online stores
at once.
Unsatisfactory (unsatisfactory experiences):
Low security of online payments
Not user-friendly
Poor levels of services
Varied prices
Product delivered not in a good condition
Convenience
Online shopping stores allows consumers to make purchases at any time,
24 hours, 7 days a week, and many consumers have Internet access both
at work and at home. A visit to a
conventional retail store
requires travel and must take place during business hours.
Searching or looking through an online catalog can be faster
than browsing the aisles of a
shopping store. Consumers with
normal dial-up Internet connections rather than broadband have much
longer loading time due to the appearance of pictures of products
shown on these websites and have a considerably slower and more
frustrating
online shopping
experience.
Some consumers prefer engaging with shopping store personnel
instead of computers (and vice versa), sometimes due to the more
complicated interfaces of the websites. Not all
online-grocers
have up-to-date and user-friendly sites.
For efficiency reasons,
online shopping stores
generally do not delivery goods immediately upon receiving an order.
Orders are only filled during warehouse operating hours, and there may
be a delay in
the delivery
depending on traffic and weather conditions but not to a large extent
since such online grocers will restrict the area span from the
warehouse where the goods are stored. Many retailers are likely to
inform customers the time range at which they can expect their
delivery to arrive, and whether or not they generally have a
fulfillment backlog. A quick response time and efficient of its
delivery service is sometimes an important factor in consumers'
confidence and trust in the grocery dealer. A disadvantage of online
shopping is that, even if a purchase can be done anytime of the day,
the customer must often be at home during normal business hours to
accept the delivery . For many professionals this can be difficult as
they have many time constraints, and absence at the time of delivery
can result in delays, or in some cases, return of the grocery to the
retailer. As far as grocery is concerned, it must be usually kept
fresh or in a suitable condition and any of such delay may bring about
a decline in the condition of the grocery in question.
In the event of a problem with the item - it is not what the
consumer ordered, or it is not of the condition it is supposed to be
in- consumers are concerned with the ease with which they can return
an item for the correct one or for a refund. Consumers may need to
contact the retailer, visit
the post office and pay return shipping, and then wait for a
replacement or refund. Some online shopping stores have more generous
return policies to compensate for the traditional advantage of
physical stores. For example, the online
shopping store
Yumtrade offers a thorough check of the condition of the items are all
good and if the purchased item(s) are found damaged, they will either
send a replacement free of charge or they will offer you a refund on
the spot. Furthermore, customers are allowed to return the item that
you do not desire within 1-3 business days by contacting them as long
as the original packaging and receipt are kept intact.
