Groceries delivered to your door for just $3.45

About us

Buncha is a grocery delivery service focused on affordability, convenience, and eco-friendliness. Buncha connects neighbors with retailers for scheduled deliveries throughout the week. Zip code-based schedules give neighbors the option to join delivery times, allowing Buncha to aggregate orders onto refrigerated trucks and create highly efficient delivery routes. With store partnerships and condensed routes, Buncha is able to provide consumers with the most affordable way to get their groceries delivered. What differentiates Buncha from similar services? We go the extra mile. 1. We are a one-stop shop: Consumers can receive orders from multiple retailers in one delivery. A. Our pricing is per delivery window, not per delivery. This means customers can order from multiple stores and pay one delivery fee of $3.45. 2. We are temperature-controlled: All Buncha deliveries are done in refrigerated trucks with temperature-control sensors. Additionally, all hot, cold, or frozen items are packed into insulated bags to ensure items are delivered to the customer in a food-safe manner. 3. We are eco-friendly: We deliver to multiple customers at a time; instead of 15 shoppers delivering 2 orders each, Buncha can deliver approximately 30 orders on one temperature-controlled vehicle. This contributes to an average of 80% carbon emission savings compared to other services. 4. We own the experience: Our team of shoppers and drivers are W2 employees who go through Buncha’s e-learning boot camp and in-store training. 5. We are retailer partners: We work with store partners to build mutually beneficial partnerships; we aren’t here to take out retailers that have been pillars of communities since well before delivery entered the scene. 6. We are inclusive: We believe getting groceries shouldn’t be a luxury, but instead something that is accessible for all.

    Today, April 22nd is Earth Day, and while the 364 days in between this annual event are just as important at Buncha, we figured it would be a good time to celebrate our Q1 savings! 🌱 Between January 1 - March 31, Buncha saved 45,852 LBS. OF CARBON emissions compared to other delivery services (or individuals going to and from local grocery stores). Think about that for a second... ⏸️ In just three months, our scheduled delivery model cut 23 TONS OF CARBON through route efficiency and multi-store delivery. Let’s break it down: 🚚 Route Efficiency: Most delivery services are operated by independent contractors delivering a couple of orders to a couple of consumers who don’t live near each other; Buncha is different. With our zip code-based scheduled delivery model and refrigerated trucks driven by W2 employees, Buncha is able to deliver 30+ orders in one truck on one hyper-condensed route. 🛒 Multi-Store Delivery: Gone are the days where consumers need to make separate trips to various stores AND/OR place multiple orders for different delivery times to complete their weekly errands. Buncha has implemented a multi-store delivery feature where consumers can order from multiple stores within a delivery window, for one delivery fee, and receive their orders all at the same time. So what does this look like? It looks like ordering your favorite produce from Cub, your big bulk items from Costco, and your pantry staples from Aldi and getting it all delivered at once! Talk about wrapping up our three pillars (affordable, convenient, and eco-friendly) in one! Win-Win-Win! While we don't give this advice out often, here at Buncha, taking shortcuts isn’t always a bad thing - sometimes it’s the best thing! 😎 Looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint? Go buncha.

    How does Buncha differ from other white-label DSP's working with retailers? We launched our white-label program just two months ago and have already seen the benefits of utilizing W2 drivers and batched delivery on our refrigerated vehicles. Some key KPI's Buncha has achieved year-to-date: 1) A 100% on-time delivery rate, achieved by deploying the same W2 driver operating the same routes on a daily basis. 2) Our NPS for these deliveries has been consistently 5/5, attributed to our drivers engaging with customers and providing a high-touch delivery experience. 3) AOV has increased for all retail partners by 20% since the beginning of December, accompanied by a significant rise in driver tips. In case you missed it, listen to Bharat Pulgam share how Buncha’s white-label model emerged with Anne Mezzenga & Chris Walton of Omni Talk Retail. Plus, how Buncha is impacting the last-mile landscape for retailers that struggle to find quality drivers from other services. #Buncha #lastmiledelivery #grocerydelivery #retailnews #omnichannelretail
