When I used a major gorcer's delivery service 20 years ago, I was paying $7 per delivery. Even then, I thought it was too cheap, and I still think it's why they had to scrap the service. Today, it's definitely a steal.
On a side note, they always had the best fruits, veggies, and meats. I found out it was because they had trained pickers that would pick the best at the distribution centers, before the rest was shipped to the stores. Of course, it wasn't same-day delivery, but it was awesome.
- darkpuma 7y agoIn my experience, grocery store delivery services are often shockingly cheap because traditionally their target market were the elderly and infirm. People that can't leave their homes easily, and don't have a lot of money either.
