Description

Welcome to a better delivery service in the UAE. I started el Grocer because I was a frustrated by consumer delivery services. Between the poor delivery times, rude customer service and the poor quality of the products that did get delivered... I knew there has to be another way.

I made el Grocer to be different, to be better, a grocery delivery service that works for the customer, not against him. Our Customer Service personnel are trained to be YOUR advocates when dealing with the store. We sign stores based on your wishes and encourage overlap so you always have a choice, we constantly update our product lists so you don't have to compromise on your grandma's favorite recipes.

Regards,
Nader Amiri, CEO el Grocer

24 Hours Waiting For Food Delivery- no driver assigned

I’m super disappointed and annoyed to say the least. I ordered groceries this morning at 7am, it’s now 11:20pm and still no food, no deliveries, I received a “sorry a driver has not been assigned yet” and a “we’ll refund to eWallet”, basically meaning I’ll have to use the stupid app again to use the money? What a joke!

This is not ok and not what I’d expect from an organization like yours.

We live in an age where there are so many food delivery companies, Smiles wasn’t my only choice, but my first choice. The Smiles Market team should not be working where they are, one big joke!

Charged me the full amount.

Please avoid using this app and instead use Talabat and Deliveroo. They might offer coupons with 50% discounts (capped at 20), but it’s a scam. I ordered items from a store using the coupon, but on the day of delivery, I was charged the original amount. The customer service is terrible, with no option to talk to someone directly; you’ll have to use a slow and unhelpful live chat.

Don’t get scammed by these small companies that offer fake discounts and then charge you the whole amount, they know you can’t do anything after you received the products and they charged you for it.

Incompetent customer service

Cancelled my order on 28th Apr due to late delivery (estimated time was 7-8pm). 9pm status was still ready for pick up. Customer service was saying already with the driver but tax invoice was still 0 so decided to cancel. Until now amount is not yet refunded in my account. They informed me twice that it will be refunded within 3-5 working days in my bank account. 3rd time they informed that it’s in my wallet, wallent amount is still 0. Never order from them to avoid this experience.

Charged but not delivered

I had two orders where my bank was charged, but the items were not delivered. The amount on the receipt that I received did not coincide with the amount charged from my bank. Online customer support is of no help. I have sent well over 100 messages which they reply to, but do not solve the problem. Will not advise anybody to use this service.

grocery order

I am extremely disappointed with the service I received from this company. I placed an order and paid for expedited shipping yesterday, but most of items were not delivered on time. I contacted customer service multiple times and was given the runaround. They promised to investigate and get back to me, but I never heard anything. It’s been a day since my items were supposed to arrive, and I still have not received them. I will never use this company again and would not recommend them to anyone

Around 22.30, i contacted again and i was told ” We can’t Deliver your order today” and asked me to reschedule for tmrw. They are so unprofessional and i had to cancel the order. But Money not credited to my card till now. Just an alert for those who are planning to order!

VERY POOR STANDARD

Reading the past reviews, I can say that I will not recommend this delivery service again! My experience was they hold the amount of my purchase and the other went through. So I was technically charged twice. Customer service was inefficient because it is just an App chat! They wanted me to share to them my bank statement which is a private document! I already informed them the bank references and it should be El Grocer to respond to the bank. On the other side of this site, reading the message of the CEO, sad to say there are other far much better grocery delivery App than this one. I will also write in Smile as this will affect their performance.
