A blast from the past, @ocado using free champagne to acquire new customers. #onlinegroceries

Free deliveries on @Deliveroo with Amazon Prime. With an existing investment, it makes sense for Amazon to help Deliveroo acquire customers. It also strengthens its connection with quick commerce. #amazonprime

I'm not sure what's more impressive from @Ocado's half year results - the £138 order size, Bristol mini-CFC already operating at more than 50% capacity, or the new deal with Auchan. #ocado

In the last week, we've heard that @Instacart is expected to launch into new markets and has gone live with 30mins deliveries. It's going to be tough keeping up with shoppers and competitors. #instacart
