Have you tried the "ultrafast" ones? I tried it for the first time a couple months ago and it's pretty mind-blowing. An order of 15 different items reaches my door literally 11 minutes after I press the "submit order" button. I'm in the UK and I have a supermarket a ~5 minute walk away but picking up the same items myself from there would take me at least twice as long (not including the time to get ready/dressed etc). I don't use it for all my shopping (it's a bit more expensive, but it's mostly because I like to get out of the house) but the convenience and speed of the ultrafast app delivery is really something. I hope they don't all crash and burn.
