OK look at the size of the UK and the US and you'll get closer to your answer why this hasn't been a major development in the US.

- ghaff 10y agoYeah, but there's no requirement for services to be national or to cover areas outside cities with insufficient density. I suspect it has more to do with large US supermarkets with large parking lots and high auto ownership. [ADDED: For example, Peapod is only available in some areas of the Northeast and Midwest]
- true_religion 10y agoWell since there's no-requirement for it to be national then, I'd point out that in the D.C. area there are 2 major chains that delivery groceries, and 3 others that allow online ordering and pickup at select stores. It's been done for at least 5 years.
