Almost Anything Can Be Delivered At Your Door In Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is a city where almost anything can be delivered to your doorstep. Literally almost everything is at your fingertips. Everyone delivers. I am not just talking about your everyday normal delivery like pizzas or empanadas, I mean everything.

Say you are at home and you want a cup of coffee, just call your friendly café. They will send a waiter to your door with a cup of coffee and saucer on their tray. You can add a half dozen medialunas (croissants) to go  with you coffee.

Then, let’s say at noon you get the munchies, well, the list of options is endless. From local food to Chinese to Arabic to even McDonald’s (yes, they also deliver).

If your sweet tooth wakes up, well, you can call one of the many ice cream parlours around your area and have them bring you over a kilo of your favourite flavours.

Now say you forgot to do the grocery shopping, well then, you can either call the vegetable stand around the corner, or buy everything you need from the supermarket via on-line and wait for them to ring the bell.

Maybe you are not feeling well or forgot to buy your meds or the baby’s diaper, call the pharmacy, a boy on a scooter will show up soon after with a package. And the list goes on and on and on… drinks, cakes, flowers, books, newspapers and magazines, computer parts, documents, laundry, video rental, clothing, pet stuff, hardware and tools, and more.

There is even a very curious one, an agency that will provide a designated driver for anyone who has had one too many drinks and is not in good condition to drive home.

There are also a few web pages such as Super Delivery and Lo Mejor en Delivery which can be very helpful. So if you ever find yourself stuck at home in Buenos Aires with the need for a hammer, some celery, an empanada, a Big Mac, ice cream, a newspaper, a hard drive, some steak, or medialunas, you don’t need to walk any further than the nearest phone.
