I'm posting this to see if there is interest enough in this type of service to pursue it. Actually, not for me to pursue, but for a relative. Here's the senario: you are out of groceries (or soon to be out) and you really don't want to go to the store because first of all, you have to go, second, you have to walk all around the store, then you have to wait in line to pay. You think to yourself, "It would really be nice if I could have them delivered to my house." So how many of you would actually use an online service (a webpage) where you can order groceries (mainly non-perishables) over the internet and pay with a credit card and have them shipped via UPS or FedEx 2nd or 3rd day? What if they were about 30%-50% less than grocery store prices? I know college students have neither much money nor much time, so it wouod be ideal for them. But for those who are not students, would you use it? Thanks for any feedback you can give me. -- Christopher Eaker Civil Engineering Student in the Cooperative Education Program Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia Lab Instructor for EGR1170 AutoCAD Lab
