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.

We can only order on date, not on time. So then the Camion just drops all deliverys on this daily tour.
