Amazon does this sort of direct fulfillment under the Prime Now name. They don't do a great job of keeping a consistent set of things in stock, though.
Kroger brands also do this. But you can still get inventory problems - something the system thinks is in stock on Monday at noon when you place the order can be gone by Tuesday at 6 when they're packing your order for you.
Both of those have been way better in my experience than Instacart, though.
- kube-system 6y ago> Amazon does this sort of direct fulfillment under the Prime Now name. Do they? When I order, the food comes from my local Whole Foods in a passenger vehicle, and I get the same OOS issues as Instacart. How is the process any different than how Instacart works?
- _n_b_ 6y agoI guess this varies by location. Prime Now for me (in Paris) comes from one location in the city in a delivery van.
- majormajor 6y agoPrime Now gives me three options, one of which is simply directly "Amazon" and comes from an unmarked building that I've happened to drive past a lot.
