Sitting in an industrial area makes for large distances from where people actually live. For fast delivery times, storage needs to be decentralised. Newer delivery services promise "under 10 minutes" as your delivery time, see Gorillas [0] for example. They do so by storing items all over the city and delivering by bike.

- alkonaut 5y agoThat seems more like a service for ”running errands” for which it makes perfect sense. I usually have at least 24h advance on the services I use (not even in the same city) and the delivery isn’t free until you reach around $70 so I usually do a week’s shopping which is around $200. The prices are also ~20% over store prices. But this business model is wildly successful it seems. Unsure if it would work in the US where customers are more used to cheap services though.
