Unpack online food shopping into bags!!

[Spanielsandpups]

Please help me understand why would you unpack food delivered to your house into bags?

I obviously understand if you would struggle to lift the heavy trays that putting it into bags is better.

but my friend was over when I had my shopping delivered and she couldn’t understand why I carry the trays into my kitchen and not unpack into bags.

as I am physically able to carry the trays, how is it easier to unload into bags then unload again into kitchen ??

So you don't keep the driver waiting.

Holds up the driver. I have a few bags by the door and put the stuff in there so he can get going. Also do want those grubby trays in my house.

Carrying a tray into the kitchen, unloading it all onto a table isn’t really unpacking at leisure.

I am a bit decrepit and they won't come in still . I have two rather lovely shopping trollies . I sit in my chair outside my front door and I dump everything into shopping trolley one. I then have to find some umpff to get the shopping trolley inside (nightmare step) from then on its so easy . Get to fridge and either load into fridge or freezer or into shopping trolley 2 for later sort out 🤣 sorted . No bags

If you can’t carry them the delivery driver will take them through to the kitchen for you. I wouldn’t want to be faffing with bags. You might as well go to the supermarket.

I unpack it into those large blue Ikea bags then drag into kitchen .
Its the quickest for the driver to get on his / her way.
i don’t want the dirty crates on my nice kitchen table .

everyone I know who gets deliveries friends and family unloads into bags at the door .

i use Ocado and it’s all in bags when it’s delivered then I keep the bags after unpacking and send them back on the next delivery being doing this for 10 years!

Lovely Sainsbury drivers carry the crates thro the utility room into my kitchen.
place them one at a time on one end of the table, whilst I unpack onto the other end of said table.

We unload onto the kitchen table, and give the crates back before putting things away. I don't think the drivers begrudge the extra few seconds to take each crate into the kitchen, especially as we both work from home so there are two of us working on it. Occasionally a driver has offered to bring our newly-emptied bin up the drive while we're doing it!

Mine doesn’t come in bags I always carry trays through and empty them

Straight into the big IKEA blue bags, (they are great for this), as others have said, so that I don't need to keep driver waiting at the door. It only takes a few minutes.

My house is an L-shape with the kitchen being at the furthest point to the front door, if I carried each crate individually and unpacked it then got the next one etc the driver would have time to come in for a cup of tea, it’s much easier to chuck it into bags on the doorstep, plus I don’t personally want to be lugging crates through my house.

As I have limited mobility I have a standing instruction that the driver brings the trays directly into the kitchen where I quickly empty them onto the counter. Previously I used to empty them into bags at the door, so he coukd get away quickly.

I guess it's whatever works for you.

You put far less into one carrier bag than is in one of those trays. I couldn't lift one of those trays die to my disability,but I can lift one carrier bag.

Why would you hold up the delivery person they have time frames to work by, just have a couple of large shoppers ready. Is it just me or do you have zero awareness of anybody but yourself!

This

I unpack it all from the crates so the driver can get going, and then put it all away in my own time once the driver has left. No need for bags.

Same here. Just keep the bags in a handy place... I couldn't carry the trays anyway. Begore Vovid they ysed to offer ti bring them in but I've always preferred putting in bags at the door since they (Tesco) stopped bringing it in bags.

I order from Ocado and they deliver in bags - frozen in separate bags.

Our driver brings first crate to door and rings bell and then I unpack that while he gets the next ones from the van- I just unpack onto the island and then give the crates back. I can’t see how putting it into bags first is quicker for the driver. But I guess it depends where your kitchen is relative to your front door- ours is right next to it

I genuinely haven't seen a supermarket deliver and leave the crates since around 2004-2006 time.

Put into bags so driver can get away to the next person. I thought everyone did that

I load it into bags at the door.

I've not used online shopping for a few years but I used to do this with Sainsburys.

It all sounds like a massive faff now!

How is it any quicker unpacking into bags than it is to take the crates into the kitchen?I’m with you OP, grab a crate and dump the items on the kitchen counters!
