I've used the Peapod online grocery delivery service here in Chicawgo a few
times and you can indicate the degree of ripeness of, say, bananas, or
whatever. They have a money - back and no questions asked guarantee, if you
are not happy with any item they'll replace it or give you a credit for your
next order. Their staff is trained to choose the best items for your order
per your request, I've been perfectly happy with the meat and produce I've
ordered through them:
