Yes it has. I order groceries from my couch and I pay 2€ extra for delivery and my door bell rings under 15 minutes 95% of the times, sometimes in under 7 minut

  Keep in mind that it only costs 2EUR because of a combination of the following: 1) venture capitalists are subsidizing it to monopolize the market 2) there's an extra surcharge built into the prices of the individual items which you don't notice 3) delivery couriers are getting screwed but don't realize it yet 4) the stores are getting screwed and don't realize it yet In any case, that's not a sustainable solution and prices will go up and/or the quality of the service will go down over time.

    Valid points but want to address some specific points: 2) Not entirely true. On average you may be right, but some specific items that I care about, like some good brands of milk, are actually cheaper on the app than at the store (my reference store is Rewe which is the closest to me and a bit on the expensive side). 3) If the price of items is higher as you say, then shouldn't that cover the salaries of the couriers? Also they have a guaranteed minimum wage and tips. They get a great workout since it's all based on bicycles. 4) The deliveries happen from a warehouse and not the grocery store. I assume the warehouse is optimized for deliveries and not foot fall. On average I do pay more per week, maybe +10€, which is well worth it since I have a toddler at home and every hour is accounted for. P.S. German cities are very compact and have decent bicycle lanes.
