The service is just a national call center that sends an Uber or Lyft driver to your house, and then charges you $0.27 per minute in addition to the driver charge. So, a 30 minute ride will cost an extra 8 dollars. Why not just use the Uber and Lyft apps yourself?

You can arrange to have most of the items, such as groceries, restaurant food, prescriptions, and other things delivered to you without leaving your house. And, almost any non-perishable items can be ordered on Amazon and delivered the next day for free.
