After a long week punching the clock, who wants to spend Saturday and Sunday running errands when you could lounge in bed until midday, brunch at the neighborhood's newest café or break a sweat with a furry companion?

But the coming week's necessities won't pick up themselves... or will they?

A host of subscription services are elevating customer service to a whole new level, and the Bay Area’s savviest shoppers are taking full advantage—browsing and buying online, then sitting back and relaxing while everything from undergarments to a fresh set of wheels journey to them.

If you’re working with the right services, you too can spend less time traipsing from shop to shop and more time on the activities you truly enjoy. Novel, no? 

Let's have a look at some of these smarter online services making errands a thing of the past.

Canvas

Hoodline Sponsor Canvas is a prime example of bringing seamless customer service to a notoriously painful process: car buying.

Unlike auto dealerships, this new car service makes it easy to find and subscribe to the car of your dreams—all from the comforts of home. Simply hop on the Canvas website to choose the car and monthly mileage plan that fits your needs, then your vehicle, with bundled benefits like insurance, is delivered to your door.

With Canvas, you pay one all-inclusive monthly fee, and you can keep the car for as long as you'd like, from one month to one year. And if you're the type of person who never passes on an impromptu road trip, there's no need to worry: you can swap cars whenever you want, adjust your mileage plan on the fly, and roadside assistance is always on standby.

Hop over to Canvas to learn even more about this convenient alternative to traditional car ownership.

MeUndies

If you're not basking in the softest, most comfortable underwear you've ever worn—and still visiting poorly lit department stores to pick up those less-than-perfect knickers yourself—we need to make some changes. MeUndies is on a mission to help you build the perfect underwear collection so you can focus on more important matters.

Each month, MeUndies subscribers receive a fresh pair of "adventurous," "bold" or "classic" drawers at a discounted price. Shipping and returns are free, and subscribers can opt to skip a month, swap an item or cancel any time, meaning there's nothing to lose—except the uncomfortable shifting you've been conditioned to accept as normal.

Turntable Kitchen

Coffee and music: two of life's guilty pleasures turned basic necessities. Thanks to Turntable Kitchen, scoring fresh beans and fresh jams is easier than ever.

Founded in a Inner Sunset apartment in 2010 and now operating in Seattle, Turntable Kitchen sends a 12-ounce bag of beans from Seattle’s Slate Coffee Roasters with an exclusive vinyl single each month. If you're the kind of home chef who's always stumped on what to make next, you can subscribe to the company's recipe and vinyl pairing as well.

Imperfect Produce

Crooked carrots and lopsided strawberries are probably not your first choice while browsing your local farmers market, but when SF-based Imperfect Produce is willing to bring those and more straight to your door for 30-50 percent less than your local grocer, there's little sense in overlooking cosmetically challenged—yet perfectly healthy—fruits and veggies.

With the goal of reducing food waste, the subscription service collects "ugly" fruits and vegetables from farms and delivers those discounted gems to clients on a weekly or biweekly basis. Imperfect users log into their accounts to customize their delivery frequency and box size, plus browse the week's selection and customize orders.
