They're test-driving the $400/month thing to see which model makes more sense. Meanwhile, if you ever don't qualify for free delivery, the charge is only $5, which as I recall is cheaper than Safeway's delivery fee. I have been loving Amazon Fresh for the past couple of months here in 98103 because a) it means I don't have to grocery shop with my toddler, b) my mother-in-law has discovered it's a fun way to send celebratory birthday meals, c) their natural/organic and meat selections are way better than QFC, which is the only competition in my walking radius, and d) it saves time. I don't work for Amazon, nor does anyone I know, by the way. I'm just seriously pleased with the service!

One thing I'm a little leery of: they've moved away from requiring 98103 customers to join Amazon Prime (which I thought was stupid in the first place...I mean, why just us in 98103?) to a new requirement: every month you have to spend up to $400 to achieve "Radish Status" which qualifies for free delivery. While $400 doesn't sound like a lot (especially for a family of 4 like us), I still have to do a supplemental shop elsewhere, every week I order from Amazon Fresh. Oftentimes, they are out of certain items and/or they just don't carry them at all, yet. They quickly replenish their stock of sold out items, but for us, it's generally too late and we've already received our delivery.
