it's about margins. Grocery retail operates on 2-3% margins. Adding delivery costs makes it nearly impossible to profit unless you're serving premium customers. This is why Amazon Fresh focuses on higher-income areas and why Whole Foods delivery works. Webvan tried to compete on price in a low-margin industry. That's suicide.
