Groceries to Your Door in Frankfurt: Scheduled Slots With REWE and Knuspr, or Minutes With Flink

Two Kinds of Delivery, Three Services You Can Verify

Frankfurt has two different delivery models, and the right one depends on what you are buying. A scheduled service takes a large basket, gives you a time slot and often has a minimum order. A quick-commerce app brings a small basket within minutes from a nearby mini-warehouse. The list below only includes what a provider states on its own page, read in October 2026.

Knuspr

Knuspr’s Frankfurt page says one warehouse supplies the whole Rhein-Main area: Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Mainz, Darmstadt, Bad Homburg, Hanau and Offenbach. You order Monday to Saturday until 18:00, and delivery is the same day within three hours, in a slot you choose at checkout. The minimum order is 20.00 euro, and delivery is free from 20.00 euro of goods excluding deposit; below that the page says the fee starts at 0.00 euro depending on the slot. Knuspr also advertises Hessian items such as the seven herbs for Frankfurt green sauce.

Amazon’s press page of February 2025 says customers in selected areas, Frankfurt among them, can also order Knuspr groceries through Amazon.de, with deliveries Monday to Saturday in a one-hour window for Knuspr, and it points to a postcode check. Minimums and fees are those of the partner.

REWE Lieferservice

REWE’s service page offers slots from 7:00 to 22:00, Monday to Saturday, with windows of up to two hours on request, and cooled transport to the flat door. The FAQ says:

• availability depends on the region, and you check your postcode in the shop;
• the minimum order is mostly 50 euro, 40 or 60 in selected regions;
• the fee is between 0 and 4.90 euro depending on slot and postcode; the first order is free of delivery fees, and so is delivery on a weekly free day and from a basket value of 120 euro;
• you can choose a slot up to 13 days ahead;
• a franchised REWE market may have different terms.

A REWE press release of July 2022 describes a fulfilment center in Frankfurt-Rödelheim that supplies households in the city and surrounding towns. We could not confirm from REWE’s pages which Frankfurt postcodes are covered today, so the check in the shop is the only reliable answer.

Flink

Flink’s Frankfurt page says it delivers in Sachsenhausen, Gallus, the Gutleutviertel and parts of the city centre, brings orders by bike courier in minutes, and offers a range based on REWE products. It gives a standard delivery cost of 1.80 euro, says that can differ with the size of the order and refers to the app for the exact figure. Payment is cashless online. The page also names a freshness promise: what you do not get fresh, you get for free. The page also mentions postcodes where Flink was extending its service, and listings on the delivery platforms Lieferando and Wolt show further Flink hubs in Frankfurt, so the list on Flink’s page may understate or lag behind the real coverage. Always type in your address.

What About Picnic and Amazon Fresh?

Picnic’s delivery page describes free delivery above a minimum order and a postcode check, and does not name Frankfurt. We found no official confirmation for Frankfurt, so test your postcode in the app before you count on it.

Amazon Fresh as a standalone delivery service in Germany ended on 14 December 2024 in the three cities where it ran, none of them Frankfurt, per the Handelsblatt report. If you saw Amazon Fresh named in older guides for Frankfurt, treat it as outdated. The Knuspr route via Amazon.de is described above.

A Worked Example

Take two typical baskets and the providers’ own numbers from October 2026. A weekly shop of 60 euro: Knuspr has a 20 euro minimum and free delivery from 20 euro of goods excluding deposit, so the fee is zero; REWE’s regional minimum is mostly 50 euro, so the basket qualifies, and the fee is between 0 and 4.90 euro depending on slot and postcode, free for a first order. A top-up of 12 euro: Knuspr and REWE would both refuse it for being under their minimums, while Flink’s page gives a standard delivery cost of 1.80 euro, which may change with the size of the order. The comparison depends on your slot, your postcode and current promotions, so run the numbers in each app before you decide.

Choosing Between Them

For a rough rule: if your basket is over about 50 euro, a scheduled service has a lower fee per euro of groceries; below about 20 euro, a quick app may be the only option without a minimum. These thresholds are our reading of the providers’ own numbers, not an official comparison, and promotions change them.

When Something Goes Wrong

The 14-day withdrawal right for online purchases does not cover goods that spoil quickly, section 312g paragraph 2 number 2 of the Civil Code. Your rights if the delivery is wrong, missing or not as described remain, and the providers’ own guarantees come on top.

1. Check the bag at the door where you can, and tell the courier at once.
2. Take photos of damaged, spoiled or wrong items, with the label and date.
3. Report it in the app or by the provider’s contact form the same day.
4. Keep receipts and order confirmations.
5. For allergen questions, read labels yourself; our page on allergen labels explains the risk with quick commerce.

Step by Step

1. Enter your Frankfurt address in the Knuspr, REWE and Flink checkers.
2. Compare minimum order, fee and slot for the basket you actually need.
3. Use the first-order offers if they apply, and read the terms.
4. Plan bottles and deposit with the Pfand system in mind.
5. Keep a normal shop in mind for Sundays, see holidays and Sunday closing.

Compliance Note

All fees, minimums, slots and delivery areas were read on the providers’ own pages in October 2026 and change often. Press reports on Picnic and Amazon Fresh are not official provider statements. This page is not consumer-law advice; contact a consumer centre for a specific dispute.
