Default Grocery delivery?

It seems to me that a grocery delivery businsss would go very well here. In the New York suburbs, ShopRite had its own delivery business - you set up your order on line and they delivered it at a time of your choice. The fee was a percent of your order, not too expensive, like $6 for a $100 order Very convenient for people housebound or just not up to shopping. Then in Manhattan there was another service called FreshMarket (which got me confused when I got here and saw the store with the same name, but there's no connection.) Everything they delivered was carefully handpicked and fresh, even things like ice cream. I loved it and wish we had it here, especially now when the stores are so crowded.
