My mother did it for a while. It didn't work out very well. Whoever
picked out the produce either didn't know that they were doing, didn't
carry, or was foisting the under or over ripe goods on her. Forget about
frozen goods because they would be thawed by the time they got to her
place. They charged her something like 10% plus she tipped the delivery
guy. I used to go into town and take her shopping myself for a while,
or took a list and picked it up for her because even if I drove her and
helped her bladder problems precluded her being far from an easily
accessible washroom for more than 10-15 minutes.
