I just moved here from California and would like to know what the online shopping situation is like in Hawaii.
I used to get my groceries and other items delivered online, but how does everyone in Hawaii do it? ？
I live in a condo where I can pick up packages with no problem.
I would like to have bulky or heavy items delivered as much as possible because it takes time for the car to arrive.

I used "instacart.com" when I was stuck in COVID 19 the year before last. Safeway, Foodland, Don Quijote, Costco, Target, etc. are available. I mainly picked up stuff from Safeway. However, the prices are all fixed, and sometimes they are 50% more than in the store, including shipping, and sometimes almost double (sometimes the total was less ）). However, if you download the app to your phone, you will receive a Direct Message from the shopper and can make changes on the spot, which is very convenient. Also, due to the store's circumstances, there are many cases where an item is not available in the store even though it is listed on the web, so in such cases, the decision can be made through conversation via Direct Message. In general, if you can accept the high price, I think it is convenient to use.

I wrote to you a while ago, but it doesn't seem to have been sent, so I am writing again from memory. I used "instacart.com" last year when I was stuck in COVID 19. As for stores, Safeway, FoodLand, Costoco, Target, Don Quijote, etc. are available. I mainly used Safeway. If you download the app to your phone, you will receive a direct message when the delivery person goes to the store, and if something is missing, you can talk to him or her via message and have it changed. However, the store may have a special sale of the day, but this is all at a fixed price, and when shipping and other fees are added, the price is sometimes 50% to almost double the price. They even bring heavy items to your door. All in all, I think it is a convenient system if you can tolerate the high prices.

SJDummy,
Thanks for letting me know ！ (I appreciate you even resubmitting the message )
I have no experience with Instacart, but it was a market reference.
Since Covid, I have done most of my shopping online, and since the services such as meal kits and Imperfect Foods have become more diversified, I have been ordering casually, but I was wondering if it would be a nuisance to order in the same way if the delivery and staffing situations were different.
