Oh my God wow. This is highly convenient. I'm in DC, and I saw the puzzling "corner store" option when ordering a car this afternoon. I'll relate how the delivery experience goes once I try it today or tomorrow.
I already get my groceries delivered, usually for free from Safeway or Harris Teeter. One of them will run a free delivery special once every two weeks, so I mostly restock on non-perishables, and grab fresh food from the Whole Foods myself.
But the on-demand aspect brings a whole new level of convenience. I'm right in their target demo, so if it works smoothly I'll be thrilled.
- s_q_b 12y agoSad to report that this does not fulfill the gaps in the extant on-demand grocery delivery system. It's expensive, slow, unreliable, and doesn't provide the items for which the application would be most useful, e.g. delivery of fresh perishable foods in a reliable fashion. But, that's what beta tests are for. Here's hoping the next iteration gets it right.
