Do some grocery stores like Walmart will deliver fresh foods like produce, dairy, meat's, etc to your house if order online?

Ordering groceries by phone and having them delivered is a custom that goes way back,  perhaps as far as the telephone itself!  And grocery stores in small towns were much more likely to do this, in your great grandma's day, than in cities.

At the beginning of the Internet age there were several companies that delivered groceries ordered on the Net.  They were not the stores themselves but big companies with an enormous investment in trucks!   For some reason they all failed.  Apparently delivering groceries for low (or no) extra cost turned out not to be a profitable idea.

You might still find a little mom-and-pop grocery store in your small town that will deliver groceries.  They will always ask 'Are you going to be home in an hour' or 'At five o'clock' or whatever.  But 'grocery stores' hardly exist anymore.  They've been run out of business by big supermarkets (and Walmart) whose business models don't allow service like that....Show more

There are companies like "Instacart" that make home deliveries in some areas. You pick a time range for them to deliver as someone must be home....Show more
