Are yall onto this Peapod grocery delivery service? It's done by Stop n Shop. I started using it like a year ago. I live in a semi-rural area and don't have a car, so I get them delivered. It's like six bucks a delivery, no limit on the amount you can buy at a time. The driver even carries the groceries into my kitchen. Plus if anything is bad or broken, you can get a refund no questions asked. Not a shill, just wanted to share the joy, it's super convenient.
bump for awareness

Welcome to what britain's been doing for nearly two decades now.

Except that Peapod is strictly a grocery deliver service. Our grocers don't have fleets of delivery vehicles that carry their own groceries to customers.

They have two pretty popular services in Japan. I tried to use it but even though they were pretty competitively priced with grocery stores it just didn't make sense to pay the little bit of extra money when there were 3 grocery stores with a 10 minute walk of my apartment.

I'm not sure what sort of distinction you're trying to make.
UK: Order groceries, get them delivered.
USA: Order groceries, get them delivered.

Not most people but a decent amount.

Grocery store delivery has been around a long time in the US too, you just could only get it in places where people actually live:

Sure. I guess the difference is that online grocery shopping/delivery has grown quickly enough to a large enough market that the major supermarkets cover pretty much all of the UK now, so we don't need something like PeaPod to cover the areas not well covered by the big names.
I use Amazon fresh. It's super convenient and fair price.

Makes sense. I'd rather go to the store too. It's nice to hand-pick the item you want, check for quality and get the best looking one. I'd have to take a bus to get to the store, and then carry all of my groceries back with me. Kind of a pain to do that every week, so I pay the extra $6 once a month. I buy some veggies from the farmers market each week.

Wow that's so interesting. I don't think peapod is very popular here, I am the only person I know who uses it. I think it's more popular with the elderly.

I live in the US and my local grocery store started doing this last year. Since im a drunk with DUI's I dont drive either. Spend over $100 and its free delivery. Fucking love it.
