This brings back childhood memories. In the suburbs of London, many things were delivered to most homes, newspapers, coal, milk, eggs, bread, the xmas turkey, even bakery treats. The milk was always delivered by electric float trucks since forever. The milkman also was a mini store on wheels for all the other food items above. Gee now I even remember an actual diesel truck full of shelves of food coming around on occasion.

Part of that was because grocery stores were small, local and many of us had no family cars and we could not carry that stuff home. Perhaps also because housewives didn’t go out to work in those days, someone was usually home. When buying larger items you generally had it delivered.

Times changed, most families now have cars and supermarkets replaced the corner store and delivery mostly disappeared and nobody is at home during the day.

We saw webvan not do so well, I don’t see this doing well in the US though. Especially since we shop around getting things from multiple stores to save a nickel here or there while spending more than that on the gas.

I guess if you know exactly what you want on a repeated basis, it makes sense to go back to this model.
