Here is how it works. You go to the grocery store. You pick up your
groceries. You take them to the checkout counter. You ask for
delivery. Instead of bagging your groceries, they get boxed and they
put a slip on the box with your address, phone number, etc. You go
home without your groceries. The supermarket delivers your
groceries. There is a small fee for the service which you pay at the
checkout counter.

Assuming you have physically visited the store, in what way is that more
convenient than taking the stuff home with you?

It's just like when you go to a takeout/delivery pizza place. You can
place your order, wait, and then take your pizza home. Or you can
place your order, ask for delivery, and go home.

Does anyone actually physically go to a pizza shop or curry house to order
something for home delivery?
