Amazon launched grocery deliveries in the UK a few months back - and to pretty mixed reviews. Amazon are using third parties to supply the goods, so one grocery order might be 4 or 5 separate deliveries. As a result the general view was a) it's expensive as you're having to pay shipping costs for each supplier (some comparisons of a typical basket were double the cost of getting it from Tesco or Sainsbury) 2) it generates a large amount of waste as each order is in separate packaging and c) it's really inconvenient having to be in for all these deliveries. So basically a big thumbs down.
