Indeed. While I am very much part of the target demographic for
things like supermarket delivery, I just can't guarantee to be in at
any given point to receive delivery of an item, and I wouldn't want
such things delivering to work.

Somerfield specify their delivery down to a 2-hour slot.

I normally get my shopping done at a time when I expect to be at home
anyway for 2 hours on the same or following day.
