My wife orders the weekly groceries home every 1-2 weeks. The delivery fee for purchases over 150.- is only 4.95, which easily pays for itself with the drive and the parking fee to the nearest shopping center (8km). In addition, in this setup i also have to carry the purchases only from the front door to the basement.
Edit: We use Public transportation a lot. For the normal bike we use the Thule Chariot Sport as a trailer. For the daily needs (fresh bread, somtimes mising butter or milk…) we shop localy in th village, also with bike and backbag or the biketrailer.
A decent cost, I’d guess the delivery is a store employee using a company vehicle since that’d be a heavy lift for $5 to take on in some 3rd party service or the employee’s car like most small shops. Persoannly I like going to the shop, even if it’s a little ways out just for the getting an idea on the fly aspect when walking by something.
