It’s All About the Delivery at UGA

Delivery is the way To Go!

Taking time away from studying can be the difference between dinner or a bag of chips and a soda. Sometimes it pays to turn to delivery services, particularly when they have been studying for hours on end or they aren’t feeling well. It’s good to know that food can be delivered right to their dorm or apartment. Here are some of the ones we found and what they deliver and how they work.  As you will see, not every delivery service is for food.

• Amazon Fresh: Groceries are deliverable for free upon signing up for an Amazon Prime account. All you have to do is add items to your cart and choose a delivery time if you order early enough in the day, you can typically get same-day delivery.
• BullDawg Food: This is a local food delivery service that features more restaurants in Athens than any other delivery service. They will get you food from both drive-thru restaurants and sit down places.
• DoorDash: Food delivery at your fingertips. Some say it is more efficient than UberEats too. Use the app or the website.  College students can now get Chick-fil-A delivered nationwide, and the first sandwich is free through DoorDash. The free chicken sandwiches are only available through the DoorDash app and website with the promo code “CFADELIVERY.” There is a $5 minimum per order.
• GrubHub: Sign up for their emails and get $7 off your first order of $15+. As well, for each friend you get to sign up you get $7. Sign in for local suggestions (like Alumni Cookie Dough – YUM)
• Instacart: For faster shopping and easier checkout, get the app and have groceries, etc. delivered from most of the same places as Shipt, but also includes CVS and Whole Foods.
• Postmates: This is food delivery combined with grocery delivery to bring you a website that can do just about anything.
• Seamless: This is a food delivery service that allows you to earn rewards the more you use the app. They claim to be faster and easier than take out and the regular way to order food.
• Shipt: Get 2 weeks free and $15 off your first order on deliveries from stores like Publix, Costco, Target, and ABC Fine Wines & Spirits. Let their shoppers do what your student doesn’t have time to.
• UberEats: The same concept as Uber, but they deliver food. You can track, via the app, when the restaurant is preparing food; your driver is picking up and when they are in route to you. The fee may be a little pricier than most delivery places.

Making sure you know about these companies will save you from going hungry and will be super convenient to you during an all-nighter, crazy study sesh, or a night when you really want to avoid the dining hall.
