We are interested in having groceries delivered on our arrival day, a first for us. Is Jeannie still is business, is she part of Shop and Drop? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thank You!

Jeannie IS Shopndropsxm, she is definitely still in business, and I would heartily recommend her. We've used her every trip since she first opened her business and she has yet to have any problems with our orders. Plus - she is an absolute sweetheart!


Respectfully,

You are very welcome but in all fairness - I really need to add - there is ONE problem I've experienced with using Jeannie and Shopndrop. Once you use her, if you're like 99% of her customers (perhaps even a hundred percent but I'm thinking there's always someone who might have a problem......) once you use her the first time, you'll never want to grocery shop again on St. Maarten.

It's wonderful to arrive at your condo or apartment or villa and be able to go straight to the fridge for a cold drink. We usually order the typical things you might need for the first couple of days including coffee, half and half and fresh pastries for that first morning, along with something to throw together a simple dinner the first night if we're of a mind to, and then we restock at our convenience.

This service was one of my very best SXM finds, for sure!!


Respectfully,

Just me, but I actually like shopping at super u for variety & things we dont have at home. Also their French wines.

I love shopping in SXM in general, but then I'm the exception!

We have used Jeannie for our last 3 trips and love her service. It's great to arrive at our unit and have the essentials on hand without having to stop at the grocery store immediately. Jeannie will go out of her way to find what you want, even if it isn't on her website. I don't really enjoy grocery shopping anywhere and especially don't want it to cut into our vacation time anymore than necessary. With that being said, we usually do end up buying a few provisions and select foods on our own while on island, of course, but it's great to arrive from the airport and have cold drinks and a few provisions waiting for us.

You won't be disappointed with Jeannie's service. She's top-notch!

We LOVE Jeannie!! It is so nice, after a long day of travel that starts at 3am (longer if we are delayed somewhere) to arrive at Beachside Villas with cold beer, fixings for mixed drinks and breakfast provisions/fruit etc! The first thing I want upon arrival is a cold drink, enjoy the view, visit with friends, THEN go to dinner. The LAST thing I want is to have to go grocery shopping first day!! She makes our vacation so easy and special. Jeannie goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy. One year she arranged for the vow renewal cake for my niece and her hubby. Highly recommend her! PS-we do shop a bit on the island but no longer on the first day!!

I actually don't mind grocery shopping when we're on SXM but not on the first day. We've been using Jeannie for years & she goes over & above in all aspects of her service. One trip she even tracked me down as I was picking up the phone from Sharon as the Flamingo front desk didn't know who we were or where we were staying (not their fault - I forgot to give Jeannie the name of the trust our unit is under). We order all the staples for the 2+ weeks we're there & just supplement as we go along. Jeannie is a keeper in my opinion!

We always enjoy the grocery shopping on island. So many unusual items to buy and try. Especially the deli sections.

Very true....but like I said our day starts before I have even really fallen asleep. It is so nice to have Jeannie get provisions for us AND she is a local business woman who gives back to charities etc. We shopped for many years on our way in to Beachside. Either we both ran in quick or someone had to do the shopping while the other stayed in the car. So much easier with Jeannie! But to each their own. I know that I don't want to shop after a day of travel. All I want is to unwind, get a suit on , and enjoy drinks while enjoying the view. Whether you shop or use Jeannie you are promoting a local business!

We got spoiled this last year. When we got to the villa we rented we found that the owner had it stocked with beer, cheeses, bread, baguette, chips, snacks, premium rum, Vodka, wine, eggs, butter, cold cuts, you name it. Did the big shop the next day but didn't need much.
