I just ordered from Seasons for delivery for the first time (90% sale items) and was very happy. Never ordered from Gourmet Glatt. It pays to first look over the sale items (check out watsonsale.com) so you can specify specific brands if they are on sale.
List quantity, size, number, brand, etc - anything that is important to you. Sometimes I'll write to take the cheapest brand. Some stores I've found certain issues with produce so I'll specify exactly what I'm looking for "10 plum tomatoes - red - not soft". The more details you include the safer it is.

Another vote for seasons! They are so pleasant to deal with and I plan my menu around the sale items and u find that I'm spending less than the other "cheaper" groceries.

Do seasons and gourmet Glatt do free delivery? What is the minimum that needs to be spent?

I do my orders thru superstop (on river ave) almost every week and very happy with them! They are so friendly and call you if they dont understand something on your list and if theyre out of it if you want something else (another company....)
They also have a 10% rebate program so you really end up saving in the long run....

Seasons will deliver for 5 cents for orders over $50. Order under $50 are $5 delivery fee.
The sale items at Season are mostly a good deal. Everything else did come out more than some other stores that don't do delivery. I find this true with many stores I use for delivery. But I"m paying for the convenience with the overcharges.

5 cents? That's strange. Why don't they do it free? Not that I mind paying 5 cents but I'm wondering why they do that.

I don't know. On the receipt it is a $5.00 charge with a $4.95 coupon. don't know why they do it.
Personally I like typing up my order, saving, and e-mailing so I have it from week to week.
But if you right it on paper its probably easier to fax.
I doubt it makes a difference.

I think they need to enter a delivery charge to be able to print labels. So they do a negligible amount. (NPGS Jackson charges 1 cent for $180+ and that is the reason. But they don't do phone orders.)

I order from kosher village. Not always the best prices but the service is good and if you keep your credit card on file they give you an 8% discount on your orders.
With most of these stores you can either email your shopping list (or fax) but they also have a website now so you can just check out as you would shop on any other website.
I've also ordered from farm fresh - they have decent prices and very good service.
It's the way to shop in lakewood these days
I think you should try out the stores you have been to and are used to.

I love ordering from Farm Fresh for their chicken and meat sales - especially the prepared (breaded\marinated) stuff, its amazing prices. And their sales are really good.
But like all stores that do deliveries regular price is high.
You also have to be able to take mixups with some bit of humor - because it happens - and can sometimes be expensive.

Are you afraid to order chicken and meat in the summer?
Kosher West advertises that they have refrigerated trucks. I wonder if anyone else does?
But even so, I don't know how long the order sits around until it goes into the truck.
I know if I order frozen veg they are usually defrosted.
I do make sure to write "Please pack all refrigerated and frozen items in one box" - not that they always listen...
