Carrefour has the widest range of jams.
In a box or bag. The truck is refrigerated, but not frozen. Usually frozen things arrive soft but still frozen. You can schedule the time within 3 timespans each day the latest ending at 9pm, most of the time. During busy times, they remove that choice and it can come anytime between 9am and 9pm. If you live in a building with a guard, you can choose to have them leave it there whether you’re there or not or to receive it personally. If they come and you’re not there, the driver may call or text to schedule a time. They also might call 10-15 minutes before they arrive to see if you’re home. They deliver from their hypermart locations, unless that has changed in some places, so if you live close to one they usually deliver early.
By the way, shopping online I get special discounts and coupons, plus LinePay points back (1%-10%), plus free shipping. Stores that give discounts spread the costs out to all customers, so to everyone going to the store and paying full price, THANKS!
I also get credit card cash back, plus membership points (redeemable for 0.3% cash back), plus I’m a VIP member so I get even more coupons and more membership points, but you can get all that at the store.
Thank you.
How much is delivery fee?
if you live 4th floor, do they carry it up? or you need to go down and collect at street level.
I think those black pepper mini hams at Costco are pretty decent.
Free if you order more than (I think) $700. Could be more, we order once a week and never don’t go over. It’s $100 if you don’t spend enough.
Recently, if it’s not a lot they’ll carry it up without complaint. After covid some drivers wouldn’t. I think the website still stays they won’t, but they usually do now. Every driver is different. I always go down to help if I ordered drinks.
For me, they don’t carry it up anymore (4F). Also, for a long while, you could not select a time slot, probably because too busy with Covid. I think last time I could select a time slot, but only something like 0900-1400. Also, buying online is quite a bit more expensive than buying in a shop. Also, many items have only 2-3 in stock or are out of stock, while I am sure they would have plenty in the actual shop.
They started again a month or two ago. They started after the lockdowns calmed down, but then there were shortages and they stopped again. Now the times are like 9am-2pm, 2pm - 5 or 6, 5 or 6 - 9pm.
Are you sure? I don’t know the price of many things by heart but the prices seem about the same. Even if it is a little more, online must be overall cheaper with the discounts.
Yeah, that’s true. They seem to have a weird inventory system that guesses what they’ll have days in advance. And when it’s time to ship there’s often at least one thing that’s not in stock.
I think we’re going to see a rapid decline in the things we like to buy from Carrefour. In store or online.
Too early to tell. It depends on how well they’re selling now. For all we know, Carrefour branded stores are required to sell a certain amount of branded stock.
Now that Uni-President is on top in most areas, and still has liquidity to spare, it could mean even more imported products in their other branded stores, 7-11 in particular. Sometimes things get better.

Nice store. Guy said there was a shortage for a while because some particular ingredient was in short supply. Maybe it’s around elsewhere now too.
I have rewritten my will, sir. You get my liver
In 2022, any small victories are welcome.

This is an interesting documentary on the end of superstores, and probably a partial reason why Carrefour is leaving Taiwan.
Yes it is, with Carrefour’s woes featured prominently. Thank you for posting this.
Guy
So… has Carrefours been “leaving Taiwan” for 11 years now? That’s how old this thread is. Fwiw, the Carrefours near me is still going strong.
If you watch the documentary, you’ll see the trouble brewing is not specific to Carrefour’s performance in Taiwan.
The French HQ, it seems, is eager to sell the Taiwan operations as the home base stores are really struggling.
From my side, I strongly oppose Uni-President taking over this chain. It will lead to further consolidation of the market, less choice, and eventually higher prices.
Guy
Do you feel the same way globally, for example, about Canadian dairy and supply management?
That Canadian consumers, especially working class folks, are screwed by industrial-tasting cheese or eggs or poultry at high prices to pay the quota prices of rich agriculture interests in Quebec and Ontario?
If you truly believe that less choice and higher prices are bad in the Uni-President context in Taiwan, surely you believe that Canada’s local protectionism should be addressed too? 
Glad to see you believing that competition and free trade is a good thing! 
No doubt it’s all about Canada.
Guy
No just curious if your positions are consistent.
So we are in agreement?
Both supply management and Uni-President dominance/monopolization is a bad thing?
Agreed?
I agree you should start your very own thread on “The Dairy Industry in Canada: An Evil Empire?” Then you can share your thoughts on the topic to your heart’s content.
