How it works

Three steps and
you're done.

No app to download. No account to create. A list, a confirmation, groceries at your door.

One shopper. Not an app.
Instacart sends whoever is available. Aislend is one person who knows the aisles, texts you when the oat milk is out, and hands you the receipt at the door. No algorithm. No strangers. No markups.
Step 1

Send your list Friday night

Fill out the form or text me your list. I confirm your slot and flat fee before I ever leave — you know the total before I shop.

No surprises. Ever.
Step 2

I confirm — you get the morning back

Saturday or Sunday I head to 445 Gold Street. Out of stock? I text you from the aisle with alternatives. I never make a substitution call without asking.

Your call, always.
Step 3

Groceries, receipt, done

I arrive with your bags and the original store receipt. You verify it, then pay the receipt total plus the flat fee by Venmo, Zelle, or cash.

The receipt is the bill.
Save 45 minutes every weekend
The average Brooklyn shopper spends 45–60 min on a grocery run. Get that time back.
Save 45 min
You pay after delivery, never before. The store receipt is the bill. I add one flat fee, agreed before I shop. Not a cent more.
Pricing

Flat fees.
Live calculator.

One flat fee based on your grocery total. No fuel surcharges. No mysteries.

Why flat fees? Delivery apps mark up every item 10–20% before you even see the cart. Aislend charges the exact store price on every item — the only addition is one flat fee you know upfront. No surge pricing. No hidden service charges. No tipping pressure.

FAQ

Honest answers.

Never. You pay the exact total printed on the store receipt. The only addition is the flat service fee agreed before I shopped. If the receipt says $84.62, you owe $84.62 for groceries.

After delivery, never before. At handoff I show you the store receipt. You verify it, then pay the receipt total plus service fee plus any tip via Venmo, Zelle, or cash. No card required, no prepayment.

I text you from the aisle before I check out. You decide whether to skip the item or pick a substitute. I never make that call without asking you first.

Yes, anytime before your slot is confirmed at no charge. Cancellations within 12 hours of your shopping window incur a $10 fee. Once shopping has started, the order cannot be cancelled.

Completely optional. The tip defaults to zero in the form. No pressure at all — it does not affect service quality in any way.

I deliver in all normal weather including rain, cold, and light snow. In a genuine severe weather emergency with a city advisory, I will contact you immediately to reschedule with no fee or penalty.

No. Aislend is a fully independent personal-shopping service. No store runs, approves, sponsors, or endorses it. I shop there on your behalf the same way a neighbor would.

Cold and frozen items are bagged separately. I prioritize getting to you within 30–45 minutes of checkout with standard food-safety handling throughout.
