However, there are still many areas that Good Eggs should be changed. Such as the delivery problem. People consume foods on Good Eggs not only because they have no time to shop in supermarket but also do wish the food they have ordered is fresh. Once the problem occur in delivery, the groceries will no longer be fresh and this will really disappointed consumers. In addition, when consumers are buying food on-line, they are not sure whether the food they receive is fresh or not. In contrast, if consumers are purchasing from supermarkets, their items are guaranteed.

 

In order to solve these problems, Good Eggs can build their own delivery system instead of entrusting it to the other delivery companies. To improve the company, Good Eggs can also create a membership system because the cost of purchasing food on-line is a little expensive for normal people.
