Default The Old-Time Milkman...

I don't know if this is a "poll" or what it is. When we were in Baltimore two major grocery chains offered home delivery of groceries. You went on their website, ordered your groceries & paid them with a credit card and they would deliver them on a specific day within a chosen time period. You could order anything you wanted even refrigerated or frozen foods. There was a delivery fee for the service, but if you purchased enough items, then the fee was waived.

We also had a home-delivery milkman who delivered fresh milk in glass bottles. I am a real sucker for milk in glass bottles, and I've been trying to find if there are any nearby farmers or dairies who bottle their milk that way around here. The ordering scheme was the same way. Your delivery date was set, and you could order anytime up to a cutoff date, pay for your order with a credit card and you order would be delivered to your door on the set date.

If those sorts things were available in TV would you order from them? I have been thinking that with as many people as are here, it would be a natural for some company to provide a service like that.

What say you??
