'It's a shame': Coles customers react to recent change to shopping options
Some Coles customers are just realising the supermarket is no longer available on DoorDash, and they aren't happy about the change.
Coles was removed from the DoorDash app at the beginning of the month, just as Woolworth became available on the popular delivery app.
Coles customers took to Reddit's 'Coles' thread to expresses their disappointment at the change.

"Woah, didn't realise this (and I guess it didn't really click that I hadn't seen a lot of the usual DoorDashers at work recently until now)," one customer said.
"Dang it I figured! Eh that sucks for everyone sadly. We both learned something today then," another said.
"Its actually been over a week now since they have been removed," one DoorDash customer explained.
"I was thrown as I'm house bound and ended up having to do my start of week shop via Woolies and didn't have any of my before items lol I know small world problem.

They said their shop ended up being "more expensive".
"I do like Woolies ... but not all items I buy from Woolies are available on DoorDash so I still will have to do my mid week shop at store when I have help."
Even some DoorDash 'dashers' weren't aware the change was coming.
"I do some dashing and had kind of noticed I wasn't getting any Coles now it makes sense, but Woolies has just joined DoorDash to do shops. Aldi is what I usually get," one dasher said.
One Coles customer explained Coles is "only [on] Uber now".
Coles is now exclusively available on Uber Eats, a Coles spokesperson previously confirmed to nine.com.au.
Under the partnership, Uber Eats will provide the "largest selection of groceries ever available on an on-demand delivery platform in Australia", the supermarket said.
Aussie shoppers can now order up to 17,000 Coles items on Uber Eats. This reportedly marks a 50 per cent increase in Coles' Uber Eats range.

Hundreds of these grocery items will be available "at standard in-store retail prices, ensuring Coles customers can enjoy the same great value prices from home for the very first time".
Woolworths first appeared on the DoorDash app a week ago, but is still currently available on Uber Eats.
DoorDash now offers Coles, Aldi, Costco and IGA.
