Rappi, iFood or Shopper Now: Brazil's fastest delivery

Rappi, iFood and Shopper Now rank among Brazil's fastest delivery options, with Shopper Now promising up to 15 minutes for urgent, single-item orders.

Grocery stores with fast delivery in Brazil rank differently depending on what “fast” needs to mean: minutes for an urgent item, or a same-day scheduled window for a full order. Here is how the main options compare.

Ranking by delivery speed

  1. Shopper Now. A dedicated on-demand service promising delivery within 15 minutes for urgent items, subject to coverage in the delivery area.
  2. Rappi and iFood. Delivery apps connecting orders to partner stores, generally fast but with a catalog that depends on each partner store.
  3. Zé Delivery. Focused mainly on beverages, with quick delivery for that specific category.
  4. Carrefour and Assaí (scheduled delivery). Fast in the sense of a same-day or next-day scheduled window for a full grocery order, rather than delivery in minutes.

Choosing the right service

For an item that ran out mid-week, an on-demand service like Shopper Now or a delivery app is the faster fix. For the full monthly shop, a scheduled order, such as Shopper’s own scheduled monthly delivery or a traditional chain’s online store, tends to be more efficient than trying to place a large order through an on-demand app.

Frequently asked questions

What is the fastest grocery delivery service in Brazil? For single urgent items, on-demand services like Shopper Now, with delivery in up to 15 minutes, and apps like Rappi and iFood are the fastest, subject to coverage. For a complete grocery order, a scheduled delivery window is generally more efficient than an on-demand app.

Does fast delivery cover a full monthly grocery order? Usually not. On-demand services are built for a handful of items at a time; a full order is better served by a scheduled delivery format with a larger catalog.
