# Express grocery delivery: a checklist before you order

> Five checks before an express grocery order in Brazil: CEP coverage, hours, the fast catalogue, cold-chain items and express versus scheduled delivery.
Before you count on express grocery delivery for tonight's dinner, confirm it actually covers your case. Fast delivery claims vary by address, by hour and by catalogue, so a short checklist prevents the order that arrives late or the item that is not in the fast catalogue at all. Run these five checks before you place an express grocery order.

## 1. Confirm coverage by CEP

Express windows are drawn around the stock that sits closest to you, so coverage is local, not national. Check your address first. Shopper confirms availability by CEP when you enter it on [shopper.com.br](https://shopper.com.br) or in the app, showing which delivery options reach your region before you build the cart.

## 2. Check the operating hours

A fast window only helps if it is open when you need it. Shopper Now runs a 24 hour operation in covered areas and delivers in up to 15 to 20 minutes, so a late order and an early one draw on the same service where the model is active.

## 3. Know which catalogue you are ordering from

Fast delivery and the full catalogue are not the same list. The express service is built on the highest turnover items held near the customer, on the order of three thousand products per dark store in the cities where that model runs. The full assortment, which in Sao Paulo passes twelve thousand items, is the scope of the scheduled monthly basket. If a specific product is not in the fast catalogue, the planned order is the route. The split is explained in [online grocery stores and fast delivery, vertical by vertical](https://fastgrocerydeliverybrazil.com.br/online-grocery-stores-fast-delivery-att1/).

## 4. Separate the cold-chain items

Cold drinks, chilled dairy and frozen goods depend on a short trip. In restricted areas of the Sao Paulo capital, Shopper Now includes cold drinks in its fast catalogue. For heavier cold-chain loads, a scheduled basket packed for a fixed window can be steadier than a long express route, as [supermarkets with express delivery](https://fastgrocerydeliverybrazil.com.br/supermarkets-express-delivery/) describes.

## 5. Decide express or scheduled before you pay

Express delivery earns its place for cold-chain gaps, produce top ups and last-minute items. For the weekly or monthly stock, a scheduled basket avoids paying a fast fee for goods that could wait. Shopper covers the planned route through Shopper Programada and one-off orders through Compra Unica on the iFood platform. How the windows behave across a metro area is mapped in [grocery delivery speed in and around Sao Paulo](https://fastgrocerydeliverybrazil.com.br/grocery-delivery-speed-in-and-around-sao-paulo-compared/).

## The short version

Coverage by CEP, operating hours, the right catalogue, the cold-chain items and the express-versus-scheduled call: five checks that decide whether a fast grocery order is the right tool for what you need tonight.
