4:47 pm
and white collar workers in north america and put five plants up for possible closure. the moves are part of an effort to save more than $6 billion in costs and focus more on autonomous and electric vehicles. reports also blame the higher costs of imported steel. these days, more people are clicking to get their groceries instead of going through the aisles. >> michael finney checks out whether it's worth your time. >> reporter: should you switch and go online instead of going to a store? we've been looking into the new food shopping experience, and the executive editor joins me now. how does this work? who is offering this? >> for some reason, it seems like there are lots of companies that want to be in the grocery delivery business. people have been saying it for
4:48 pm
20 years now, oh, this is the next big thing. the next big retail phenomena for online shopping. and while there's some growth here, it seems like more consumers are interested in this. it's not like we've all rushed out to embrace this. this isn't something where most consumers have bought into the shopping for groceries online the way we have in terms of shopping for so many other things. and one reason is, it requires some planning. you have to actually think in advance about what you want to buy. you have to make a list. you can't stop off the store on your way home from work and do all your shopping. for a lot of people, that represents a big challenge. >> i have to be home at a certain time. >> you have to think about doing some planning other than just stopping at the store. you also have to trust the place that's bringing your order to pick out your produce for you, and these fresh things that a lot of people aren't comfortable having somebody else do that.
4:49 pm
and the third barrier is price. you will pay more for grocery delivery than if you're shopping on your own. the main reason is these operations aren't as efficient really so far as what they should be. they should have a centralized warehouse, an automated system for getting the ord erszers to you and bringing them to you. most of these services so far are doing what you do when you go to the store. they're sending that shopper up and down the aisles and bringing it to you. that's not an efficient operation, so somebody has to pay for that extra labor. so far those costs are being pushed off to you, so you're going to have to typically pay more. >> how much more? >> it depends. walmart, for example, it's a $10 flat fee. with amazon, it's a different arrangement, depending on which service you pick. but it's a couple hundred more than what you would pay per month. with others, insta cart, not only is there a mark-up on the
4:50 pm
prices in the store that you would pay, and sometimes it's 15, 20%, on top of that, they're adding a 5% service fee, and charging you a delivery fee. and on top of all of them, most of these drivers expect you to tip. so that's a cost also. so it's going to cost more. but on the other hand, it's a big time saver. if you can make the list, if you can give your trust over to these people to pick out produce for you. i mean, that's the big benefit of these services. it's a massive time saver. >> do they pick out good meat and produce? >> no. this is a problem we found. we took a lot of orders from these delivery services when we were shopping for them. we found that really half the orders we took, we felt there were enough problems, especially for produce quality in terms of what they chose, things were
4:51 pm
squished or rotten, about half the time we think we would have complained. i wouldn't say that some services would do better than others on that front. it was a challenge to all of them. that aspect of service. >> kevin from bay area consumers checkbook, they'll let you access the entire study for free. just go to our website for details. >> thank you, michael. the white house is ready for the holidays. first lady melanie trump unveiled this today. this year's theme is american treasures. the decorations include a tree trim by gold star families, an array also on display are the customary ginger bread house and the traditional white house tree, as well. this year's u.s. capitol christmas tree arrived in washington today. the 82 foot tall noble fir came from oregon.
