I used to shop with Homegrocer.com when they were still in business. I loved it! They would throw in freebies and samples with pretty much every order. I always got my complete order and it was delivered within the time frame I wanted.

I've always wondered why they went out of business...

ETA: Apparently they merged with another company and the service level went way down. I don't remember why I stopped shopping with them, though.

The three word answer: Dot Com Bust

They got swept up in the plummeting tech/dotcom sector stock drops in the early 00's and they couldn't keep up the operational costs. So, they sold the name/business. That was unfortunate, since for the most part they had their act together. (My personal favorite home delivery dot com convenience service went out at the same time, and I was similarly sad.)

We have a milkman. I am overjoyed because of the fact we have a milkman. He brings milk (uh, duh?), chocolate milk, and various and assorted other juices/yogurt/dairy products. It is good.

Hey, we have a milkman too! He comes to the back kitchen porch and brings us our milk and cream in glass bottles every week, picking up the empties.
We have one of those old galvanized tin hinged milk boxes next to the kitchen door, looks something like this:

The fresh stuff has all been as good as what I would pick in the store. They have to pick good stuff, because you can refuse bad ones. When they deliver the groceries, I look at the fresh fruits and veggies and meat and dairy, etc, to make sure the expiration dates are not past, and that I want to keep the fresh stuff. So far, the only things I have sent back with the delivery driver, is some yogurt that was past exp date, and some bread they substituted with something I didn't like, and a substituted flavor of Oatmeal Bars that had dried fruit in it (I'm allergic to the preservatives in most dried fruits). When I return something, the driver makes note on a special sheet, and within two days, that $$ is credited to my credit card. I think that makes 4 items over the past 14 months. Not bad.
