Imagine a future where all your daily needs appear magically at your door, within 10 minutes. We are SEND and we are making this ambitious goal a reality, right here in Australia! Supermarkets have historically been designed to physically receive customers in store and everyone seems to shop at the same time - after work, during lunch or on the weekend. This makes shopping for groceries a chaotic experience, bumping into people, difficulty finding what you need, waiting in line and of course, the more recent health concerns associated with large crowds. SEND fundamentally flips this notion on its head. We are Australias first exclusively online, delivery only supermarket, designed to send goods to people in minutes, as opposed to physically receiving them in store. We call these SEND shops. Avoid the crowds, eliminate the lines and return countless hours back into your day. Order your groceries in seconds with features like Apple Pay, at retail prices, delivered in a matter of minutes from a local SEND shop.
