PC Express is the Canadian online grocery pickup and delivery service for Loblaw-owned grocers such as Loblaws, No Frills, Real Canadian Superstore and Zehrs, plus Rapid Delivery in as little as 30 minutes.
Most of the saving here is in fees: the PC Express Pass gives $0 pickup or delivery on orders of C$35 or more.
PC Express says shoppers pay the same prices and in-store promotions they would find at their local grocer, with no added markups or hidden fees. Orders go through the website or the iOS and Android app, and customers reserve a pickup or delivery time slot ahead of time, then can still add or remove items during the week before it arrives. Personal shoppers choose the groceries, and the service backs its produce with a freshness promise or a refund.
PC Express is linked to PC Optimum, a free loyalty program: points from weekly offers and individual deals load onto the account automatically, and every 10,000 points works out to $10 off a later shop. Rapid Delivery runs from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. in selected locations across Canada.

PC Optimum
Membership is free, points load automatically on weekly offers and deals, and every 10,000 points is worth C$10 off.
PC Express savings mostly sit on your account rather than in a code.
Two time-limited offers were showing on the site: the first year of PC Express Pass for C$29.99, and C$15 in PC Optimum points on each of your first 5 orders of $75+, plus free pickup or delivery.
Points from weekly offers load automatically once you're a PC Optimum member, so join before your first order.
Set a reminder for the Pass renewal too.
Outside Quebec, cancelling has to happen at least 5 days before the period ends, while a Quebec cancellation takes effect immediately.
