Our minimum order requirement is $50.00 (excluding tax and the delivery fee).
Orders delivered to residential customers are charged a delivery fee (plus HST). Delivery fees start at $7.99 for regular delivery windows. The delivery fee may occasionally change for specific delivery windows. The delivery fee for business orders is $15.50 (plus HST).
The Fuel Surcharge Fee is tied to the cost of the diesel fuel that our vehicles use to deliver your grocery order. It is an index-based surcharge that reflects the Average Monthly Diesel Price for Toronto, as reported by Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN).
As the price of fuel fluctuates, you will see the surcharge accurately and transparently reflected in the Fuel Surcharge Fee at checkout - separate from the delivery cost. Click here for more info on how the fee is calculated.
We deliver to both residences and businesses in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area including Oshawa, Stouffville, King, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Milton and as far west of Toronto as Kitchener/Waterloo, Guelph and Hamilton.

As if you are family. Your order is hand-selected by a personal shopper who chooses only the freshest and finest. Your order is prepared and packaged in our fully refrigerated facility in Toronto. Similar items are packed together (cereals, breads and other pre-packaged items are together, produce items are together, etc.). Frozen items chill together while en route to you in a cooler that maintains their temperature for a minimum of 8 hours, and are removed only upon delivery to your door. You might even get a personal note from your shopper about your order!
Your order is hand selected by a personal shopper who shops for you like they would for their own family. Grocery Gateway personal shoppers are our “fresh experts” and are the only people who handle your order. Whether we are selecting nice plump fruits and vegetables, cutting steaks, or packing your food, each member of our team takes pride in the quality of the products selected and delivered to you.
For regular and same day scheduled grocery delivery, you can pay online by VISA, VISA Debit, MasterCard, Debit MasterCard, American Express or using a Longo’s Gift Card.
Update as of March 19, 2020: As a result of current events we no longer offer payment at the door. Orders must be paid for online, until further notice.
Using the main menu, you can browse products by looking through product categories such as “Fruits and Vegetables”, “Dairy” or “Pasta and Cereals.” Using the search bar at the top of the website, you can also enter a search term for a product or brand (for example, “bananas”). On the search results page, you can filter your search by “on sale”, “in stock”, “new items”, “brand” and more options.
We regularly feature products with special pricing. Here’s how to identify them:
- Sale prices and promotions are noted in red text below product photos and titles. You’ll also see the sale prices in your shopping cart at checkout.
- When you search for a product or category of products, you can refine your product search to only display items on sale.
- Sign up for our email flyer and get notified of new specials right in your inbox.
Pick-Up is a free service that allows you to, upon placing your order with Grocery Gateway by Longo’s, opt to pick-up your groceries at any Longo’s store location. Your order must be minimum of $50.00 (excluding tax).
For convenient pick-up, park in one of our designated Longo’s marked pick-up parking spots located at the entrance of building visitor parking. Simply dial the number on the sign, tell us your order number and then sit back and wait for one of our pick-up attendants to bring your groceries to you. For extra convenience, we’ll even load your groceries into your car so there is no need to get out of your vehicle.
Our shopping list tool lets you create shopping lists for future purchases or for specific needs, for example if you are shopping for a party, a relative or for a weekly menu. When signed in to your account, click on “My Lists” at the top of the website to view your lists. You can start your shopping list one of three ways:
- On the “My Lists” page, select “Create a new list” to start a new list and name it. You can now add products to your shopping list. At any time during your shopping, click the “Add to List” button below the product to add it to a shopping list.
- In the “Shopping List” feature, use the “Scratch Pad.” Type your shopping list (for example, “tomatoes”, “toilet paper”, etc.), then click “Save and search items.” A new page will display the items you have searched for. You can add your selected products to a list by clicking the “Add to List” button below the product to add it to a shopping list.
- Use our Cart Starter option to select from a variety of lists preloaded with seasonal or relevant products (for example “BBQ Season” or “Movie Marathon”).
Shopping lists are saved until you are ready to check out. When all the products you need have been added to your shopping list, you can select “Add list to cart” to proceed to checkout.
Yes. Once you place your order, you can review it under the “My Orders” section of your account. Click on an order to view it and select “Create a shopping list.”
“My Favourites” is where we save the items you purchase most frequently so you don’t need to go looking for them again. Your top 100 products are saved for you to add to your cart with one click. For example, if you bought bananas with your last few orders, we’ll save the same bananas in “My Favourites.” The next time you shop, and want bananas, just click on “My Favourites” to see your favourite products and select to add them to your cart.
