Lazy Delivery, a 24/7 delivery service, has just arrived in Orlando and is here to help when you are too busy with school and work and don’t have time to go grocery shopping or even go out and eat.
Unlike most delivery companies, Lazy Delivery offers customers the opportunity to order from any restaurant or store, made easy with an all in one shopping list order made online through Lazydelivery.com That means, anything from groceries, to Starbucks to Chipotle is now up for delivery.
Lazy Delivery began at the University of Florida when the founders realized that many students didn’t have an easy way to go grocery shopping.
“We had success in Gainesville not just with the students but with busy parents that lived outside of the University and we thought what better place to bring this service to than Orlando which is not just a college town but has a lot of suburbs and people with no time,” Manuel Zelaya, Co-Founder and Orlando Regional Director said.
Since then, the delivery service has expanded to other cities such as Jacksonville and Orlando.
The delivery service, which began in Orlando in September, covers areas around town including UCF, Altamonte Springs and Winter Park.
The cost for the service is $10 for 10 different line items when ordering ahead and $15 for 10 different items if using instant delivery, in which goods arrive within two hours.
“What makes us unique is that we deliver anything from any store that’s not tobacco or alcohol,” Zelaya said. “We don’t just deliver food. We also do daily essentials like household supplies, arts and crafts, and even food from places that do not deliver.”
When an order is placed, it is live-tracked and customers can receive up to date information on how far away and how long it is taking for the order to come right to their door.
Company drivers, or liaisons as they are called, have had background checks and are tech savvy so that customers can have a safe delivery right to their door.
When a client orders from them again, they also try to bring the same driver to shop and deliver groceries to the same client so that they can see a familiar face and build a connection.
“Our main target is for students who do not have the meal plan and still need a way to have food (amongst other things) even though they may not have a car or a way to get all their daily essentials like groceries or even things they may need for school,” said Zelaya.
