What it costs to place a small order
Silk Road NYC
A $60 cart can't ship at all in their closest zone — the minimum is $75. Live 7–11 miles out and you need a $300 cart plus a $50 delivery fee before your order moves.
Good Grades
A $60 cart ships anywhere we deliver for a flat $10 — same fee whether you're in Jamaica, Astoria, Brooklyn or Nassau County. No minimum, no distance surcharge.
Final Verdict
Silk Road NYC reaches farther — up to 25 miles into Westchester — and its GPS tracker is a genuinely nice touch. The trade-off is cost: fees climb from free to $125 and minimums rise from $75 to as much as $1,000 the farther you live from their shop, so anyone outside the inner ring pays a lot for the privilege. Good Grades keeps it simple inside our service area: one flat $10 delivery fee, no minimum order, same-day windows, licensed lab-tested product, and normal payment methods instead of peer-to-peer apps. If you're in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan or Nassau County, Good Grades is almost always the cheaper and faster order. If you're far up in Westchester, Silk Road covers ground we don't.
