| Fetch Neighbor now in Wichita! |
Delivery services have come and gone in Wichita but one company is hoping they have what it takes to be a mainstay in the city.
Our latest review covers Fetch Neighbor; a service that delivers what you want on demand.
Fetch Neighbor is relatively new to Wichita and a service that is locally owned in Wichita and not franchised from a national company.

I recently heard of Fetch Neighbor and have always been a bit skeptical of using a service like that. Would it be worth the money? Am I too lazy to go get what I needed myself? These are questions I’ve asked each time a new delivery service would open up in town.
It was time to stop asking the questions.
Before we go into my experiences with Fetch Neighbor, let’s go over how the concept works.
At Fetch Neighbor, you pay a flat delivery fee of $3.99 for any place within 2 miles from your location. If it’s further away, it is 90 cents for every additional mile. This courier/delivery service will go to restaurants, pick up laundry, grab groceries, you name it. Fetch Neighbor will also tack on an additional 2.34% convenience fee to your order total. That is nothing to be overly concerned about as it isn’t much in the grand scheme of things.
There are some extra charges to be aware of though.
- Your max total for a restaurant can only be $70 before you get an additional $7.49.
- For groceries, your first 10 items are covered within your $7.49 delivery fee. Every 10 items after that will cost $2 extra.
- The same applies for other types of deliveries like dry cleaning for instance.
- Everything you order must be able to fit inside a sedan.
- No alcohol or tobacco can be delivered.
This type of service is definitely something we could see ourselves using again in the future. If there’s 5 or 6 of us craving food from somewhere that may be a bit out of the way, we could easily split the delivery fee and it’d be a couple dollars for the convenience and time saved per person. Something, I wouldn’t even blink an eye at for the time saved.
If this was just for myself, it probably wouldn’t be worth it at that price; so much better for groups of people.
From what I was able to find out, they are in the works of getting an app made to work with their service along with more features like real time tracking and actual menus on their site. Be sure to check out their Facebook page for discounts they post.
In the meantime, it’s very likely we will be using this again. Famous #8 at the Artichoke delivered anyone?
Happy Dining,
