This comprehensive list of online shops offering grocery delivery in Hong Kong is for those who have an empty fridge and the closest supermarkets are too far (two blocks away) or are cooped up at home because of COVID-19. Our list includes everything from the almightly online supermarkets, awesome markets (selling local organic vegetables), an online grandmom-and-pop shop, and a tried-and-tested online shop that lets you choose groceries just for the dishes you want to make and nothing more. Note: These online grocery shops may have a slightly different delivery policy for different areas in Hong Kong. Most charge an additional fee for delivering to remote areas. Please check before making your purchases. Online supermarkets yuu to me Delivery fee: Free delivery: for orders over Delivery time: 1 hour to 2 days If you're living in Hong Kong, you probably would have had the misfortune to hear the mind-numbing "yuu" theme song -- or the Cantonese version of "Uptown Girl" -- while grocery shopping in a supermarket. yuu, dubbed the biggest rewards club in town, has over 4 million members. (That's more than half of the city's population). The app-based rewards club lets you earn points and rewards when shopping at any of the brands under DFI Retail Group, including Wellcome, Market Place, 7-Eleven and IKEA. Now, there is a way to shop at one of the yuu shops without hearing the overly catchy tune -- enter yuu to me delivery platform. The new yuu to me platform, a new function in the app, allows users to order from its supermarkets (Wellcome, Market Place), health and beauty shops (Mannings) and convenience stores (7-Eleven) on the built-in platform. From our experience, the earliest delivery time is within 24 hours if you place an order before 2 p.m.. Customers in certain areas will have a rapid one-hour delivery option. We tried the rapid delivery option and the ordered items, including a tub of still-frozen ice cream, arrived within 15 minutes. Its interface still needs some improvement but with plenty of coupons -- automatically applied at checkout -- it helps you to overlook any shortcomings. Plus, the products come from your closest online-to-offline shop. That means shortening the travelling distance of your goods and reducing your carbon footprint. There is also less packaging compared to some other delivery sites where every item is individually boxed and wrapped. The yuu to me platform doesn't include other brands under the group for now. So if you'd like to order a cake from Maxim's Cakes or a coffee table from IKEA, it will direct you to those brands' individual e-commerce platforms. HKTV Mall Delivery fee: Free delivery: for orders over for VIP members and for regular members Delivery time: Around 3 to 5 days Working with over 500 vendors from Hong Kong and overseas, HKTVmall might be the best one-stop e-shop for groceries and beyond. That means you can order groceries and a fridge all in one go! With HKTVmall, some fresh vegetables and fruits are available, but meat and seafood are frozen. It’s especially great for newer items like vegetarian meat and craft beers. While most supermarkets work with a limited number of brands and small individual stores, which may not offer a whole range of products, HKTVmall's selection can save you from visiting multiple stores to get what you need. Prices are competitive and options are plenty. You can compare prices, delivery time and vendor info before making your purchase. You can also choose to pick up from your closest HKTVmall O2O Shops. ParknShop Delivery fee: for orders under Free delivery: for orders over Delivery time: Ranges from 8 hours to 10 days, depending on if you can snag a timeslot when ordering. Same-day delivery is available if you order before 11 am. One of the two major supermarket chains in Hong Kong, ParknShop has a pretty comprehensive online offering—except for fresh seafood, which you can sometimes buy from its physical stores. It offers a wide array of fresh vegetables and chilled meat in addition to canned goods, frozen food and pet food. There are also some party supplies. Wellcome Delivery fee: for orders under Free delivery: for order amount over Delivery time: If you order before 9 am, the earliest slot is 6 pm–10 pm the next day. If you order after 9 am, your order will be delivered the following day at the earliest. ParknShop’s archnemesis, Wellcome offers similar products as ParknShop. The delivery fee is cheaper than ParknShop, but it doesn’t offer same-day delivery. Fresh groceries Jou Sun Delivery fee: for orders under Free delivery: for orders over or over for Green Delivery Delivery time: Order by 8 pm to get next-day delivery.

An online platform for farmers’ produce from Hong Kong and beyond, the site offers a wide range of vegetables, local pork, chicken and seafood—many of them organic. The company also uses Green Delivery, which means using existing delivery routes by SF cold chain vehicles instead of operating additional vehicles to fulfil orders. Deliverz2u Minimum order: Delivery fee: Free delivery: for order amount over Deliverz2u sits somewhere between a traditional food delivery company and an online grocery shop.

Local Fresh Minimum order: Delivery fee: for some area but mostly free Local Fresh is a local app that lets you order local seasonal fish and vegetables. It’s one of the few options for ordering fresh seafood for delivery in Hong Kong. You can download the app on Google Play or the App Store. Fresh oysters and frozen meat Food Monster Minimum order: Free delivery: For orders over Food Monster offers a good selection of frozen meat and seafood as well as fresh sashimi from Japan and fresh oysters from France. It’s also a great place for ordering ingredients for a hot pot dinner or a barbecue party.

Elder Shop Delivery fee: for Kowloon and the New Territories and for Hong Kong Island Free delivery: for order amount over Elder Shop by Ginko House is a social enterprise that aims at promoting senior employment in Hong Kong.
