Grocery Delivery Customer Support Agent (Remote)

Job overview

Grocery delivery has its own brand of high-stakes support: a missing item can ruin dinner plans, a poor substitution can feel like a bad surprise, and food-safety or alcohol-delivery questions need careful handling. As a Grocery Delivery Customer Support Agent, you will answer inbound calls, chats, and emails from grocery-delivery customers and shoppers. You will help customers with orders, substitutions, missing items, and quality concerns; process refunds, credits, and redelivery requests within policy; support shoppers with order-shopping issues, app problems, and payout questions; handle delivery-timing issues and coordinate with delivery partners; explain promo-code rules, loyalty programs, and subscription benefits; and escalate food-safety, alcohol-delivery compliance, and safety cases to the appropriate team. Every interaction is documented in the CRM or support platform.

This is a genuine entry-level role. No prior grocery or call-center experience is required. Paid training covers grocery products, substitution workflows, food-safety basics, alcohol-delivery compliance rules, refund and credit policies, shopper-side support, and escalation paths. The work is order-quality- and safety-sensitive, and it peaks during evenings, weekends, holidays, and severe-weather events, when delivery volumes surge and timing issues become more common.

This opportunity suits people searching for grocery delivery customer support agent remote, remote grocery customer service jobs, grocery delivery support work from home, or entry level grocery customer service.

Frequently asked questions

Will I help customers or shoppers?

Both. You will support grocery-delivery customers with orders, substitutions, missing items, quality concerns, and refunds, and support shoppers with order-shopping issues, app problems, and payout questions. The exact mix varies by shift.

Are substitutions hard?

Substitutions can be tricky, but they are learnable. Training covers the substitution workflows, customer-preference rules, and how to explain substitutions clearly. Attention to detail and a willingness to double-check matter more than prior grocery knowledge.

Yes, at an intake and routing level. You will escalate food-safety concerns to the appropriate team. Training covers food-safety basics and the exact escalation steps, and you are not expected to give food-safety advice beyond the training.

Are holiday shifts required?

Comfort with evening, weekend, or holiday shifts is a preferred qualification, and support peaks during holidays. Requirements are confirmed during the interview. Confirm schedule details during the interview.
