Odd ... all big supermarket chains do this in all of the UK. My Tesco delivery is arriving in the next 20 minutes ... plus no annual charge over here.
But delivery isn't free, and if you are a regular user you can pay £120 per year for all inclusive delivery with Tesco Delivery Saver.
Double-parking quick delivery trucks remind me of nothing but the 2000 bubble. Here's one way too big for the parking spot about to block a fire hydrant in the Upper Haight just last night: http://imgur.com/61lAhjW

I've got a storage space with Extra Space Storage and if you leave a key with them they'll put your deliveries in your locker for you. It is really convenient! I've got just a small 5x5 room that costs me like $90/month... Along with deliveries I keep my winter gear, backpacking gear, and all sorts of other stuff that I don't really need sitting around me house. Disclaimer: I don't work for these guys, have any inves…
That's an interesting solution. It seems to me if you have to go to a storage space to pick up you groceries you could just as well go to a grocery store to pick up your groceries, couldn't you?
Here in the south bay I don't have InstaCart, but my local Safeway does deliver. The experience isn't the best (someone has to be there and sign) but a) I have a nanny and b) I don't pay $299 or 14% more for the items.. in fact, I would pay less as I don't carry a loyalty card, but deliveries give you the loyalty price (presumably, they collect the same kind of info anyway).
Serious question: Why would you sign up for the delivery with all of your information but not for the loyalty card?

I kind of like grocery shopping, especially if it's in a decent store that has enough registers open and where the vegetables aren't molding on the shelves and the cans aren't all dented.
Yeah, I can't stand to eat food that came from a dented can...
What we need is another kind of mail box. A "AmazonBox", but takes deliveries from other companies as well. Big, refrigerated, with a public/private key.
Amazon does have Amazon Lockers - the 7/11 down the street from me has them. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=...
Has anyone noticed that they give you gigantic bags for free? Our office (LA not SF) orders fresh all the time for basic food and they always give us enormous re-usable bags. I'm trying to figure out, are they doing this on purpose (paper bags would be cheaper)? I'm assuming they are, hoping that you'll go shopping and use their cool bags and using this as a method of free advertising.
The packs are also cold-keeping, so I wonder if that makes the paper-bag alternative moot.
