If memory serves me well, a few store chains in Europe are exploring approaching this by flipping the problem on its head. Rather than delivering the goods at the customers' houses, they stick to having the local store prep the orders and then having customers show up at a glorified drive-through.

For all they know it might prompt a startup to actually solve the last mile problem for them, in much the same way as there's a startup or three out there that offer restaurant deliveries for places that don't support it out of the box.
