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.

Not sure that that system is prevalent in the UK, although it's possible
that one or two places operate it.

Somerfield do it. You choose a two hour slot for same or next day
delivery, and they don't charge if you've spent £25 or more.
