Groceries Home Delivery

I live in Fethiye.
I have come to rely upon Migros Home Delivery service linked to their on-line ordering facility. Very efficient and reliable. The driver has informed me that this facility is now being terminated.
I have been to Gima to ask if they do the same, but was told that it was not available in this area.
However, I notice the Gima van is often in my area, seemingly delivering items from the shop.
Gima advertises a Yacht Service, which seems to be delivery to boats in the harbour, and I can't see what the difference is in home delivery.
I think I am asking the wrong question in the shop.
Does anyone know if Gima do Home Delivery, and if so, what do I ask for in the shop? If they do, how is the order placed (as they do not do on-line ordering here in the way they do in the big cities)?

Gima do a courtesy bus yes, they pick you up and drop you off at specific times of the day, they have a bus and route timetable in the store, thing is and I know it's a bit of a bummer, you have to go and buy the stuff from the supermarket first !.

Re: Groceries Home Delivery

Thanks Ian, but this is different, I think. The van in my area is not a bus, but a closed van. Also, I have seen them loading groceries into the back of that van outside the shop.
I am convinced they do home delivery, but how to access it is the point?
I don't mind buying the goods and having it delivered later - that is not a problem on my monthly 'Big Shop' and it means I don't have to lug many bags of bulky items home in a taxi.

I think you'll find that the Gima van is only doing a yacht service that covers the harbour area and some times takes large orders to boats at Gocek.

The van is also used to recover trolleys that have been removed from the shop and to deliver out of date stock to the needy.

I think the way round this might be to rename the house 'HMS Desperation', put a flag on the balcony, and perhaps then they might deliver to me.

As the van has to pass me to get to Gocek they might squeeze me in.
