Text me your shopping list and I’ll take care of the rest!
Do you use a major delivery app for store purchases? If so, you may be experiencing:
shock (why does this cost 35% more than in-store prices?! Hint: for the same reason shoppers are instructed NOT to give your receipt)
frustration (what are all these ridiculous fees?!!)
Inconsistency (why is it always a different shopper and why does the quality vary so much?)
Enter TextMeYourList. As a former shopper for a well-known grocery delivery service, I knew there had to be a better way for customers, so here’s what I did:
established flat fee deliveries ($14.95 - $29.95 for most deliveries) with prices as they are in-store (+3% for credit card fees)
offered delivery from just about any store in LA (we don’t have an app so just text us what you want from any store)
TextMeYourList works for YOU (not a store). We deliver whatever you may need in Los Angeles. This includes items from supermarkets, drugstores, warehouse stores, florists etc. Text me, Ray, at 323-316-5161 and let me know what you need. I’ll reply promptly with a quote and am happy to answer any questions you may have.

How does
TextMeYourList
work?
Just 3 easy steps!
-
Text your list to 323-316-5161 or click the TEXT button below to start.
Please specify:
Your neighborhood (where delivery will be made)
Name of store you want us to shop for you
Desired delivery day/time
A list of what you want - in any format (a simple text, screenshots, pictures, links to products...)
-
We will quickly reply with your flat delivery charge (starting at just 14.95) so you can decide if you’d like to proceed. Unlike the major delivery apps, the cost of your items will be the exact same as they are in-store (plus a 3% credit card charge). That’s it. No other fees or nonsense. Tips for excellent service are appreciated but not expected.
Except for relatively large orders, no need to prepay. You can pay at or just before delivery with Venmo or credit card.
-
We show up at your door with exactly what you asked for! You’ll receive an itemized receipt of your purchase as well.
How Do I Text My List?
You text your list in any format (text, pictures, product links from any website)…
…and we’ll make it easy for you to reorder items with a click!
-
Yes! Just text me:
1. Store name (e.g. Whole Foods))
2. Desired delivery date (e.g. today after 4pm)
3. Your shopping list. That’s it!
Once we have that, we will text you a quote for delivery (most deliveries are $9.95 - $29.95 and depend on location, # items and store) so you can decide if you’d like to proceed. -
However you like!
Some customers simply type out their list in a basic text message. Others text us links from any website (including from the store websites). Some handwrite their list and send us a photo of that. Still others text us pictures from their pantry.
The point is that we want to make ordering for you as easy as if you were texting a friend or family member at the store.
-
Yes! We understand that your needs and shopping lists are always changing. All you have to do is text us any such changes. For instance, if after texting your initial list you want to add cherries, just text “add 2 lbs of cherries” and we will add it to your order.
-
Just about any store in LA - whether it’s your favorite supermarket, drugstore, convenience store, home improvement store, ethnic grocer, restaurant… Please text me a summary of what you need and I can provide a quick quote that’s often much less than the delivery apps.
-
No, TextMeYourList is an independent delivery service and is unaffiliated with any store. Our focus is on you, our customer. You tell us which stores you want to receive delivery from and we provide it for a fair, transparent delivery charge without price mark-ups or commissions .
-
We are based in West LA but deliver throughout LA. In general, the further the distance from West LA the higher the delivery charge but we always strive to be accommodating. Send me a quick text or call and we can give you a quick quote so that you can make an informed decision.
-
Yes. We deliver throughout LA. Perhaps you want to help an injured friend or an elderly loved one with some groceries or flowers, TextMeYourList is an easy way to get them what they need. Just let us know the appropriate address when you text your list.
-
We accept Venmo, PayPal and all major credit cards. Except for especially large orders, there’s no need to pay ahead of time. We shop for you and then settle up at delivery.
-
With TextMeYourList, you pay the same price for your items as if you would if you were at the store yourself + 3% which covers credit card processing fees. Our delivery fees have nothing to do with the cost of your items as we are a delivery service, not a commission-based reseller. This is how we are doing our part to make delivery affordable for many.
-
TextMeYourList is a neighborhood grocery delivery service, partially born out of frustration with the larger delivery services for which we have been overcharged as customers and underappreciated as shoppers/drivers. We learned quickly that they primarily exist to serve the stores and definitely not the end customer nor the drivers.
Our approach is quite the opposite. You are our focus and we aim to make local grocery delivery an affordable convenience for many. Since we are in the delivery business we see no reason to mess with the price of your groceries, which we know are already high enough. Instead, you pay what we pay plus our very transparent delivery charges.
Our shoppers, packers and drivers enjoy far better pay and work consistency relative to the big corporate model.
-
On occasion an item may not be available at the store. You can provide substitutions at the time of if you like and if not, our shoppers will attempt to contact you by text from the store.
