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?


I can get 100 kilograms delivered. That's awkward and painful to
carry!


Can you really eat 100kg of groceries? My, these cyclists do have big
appetites! ;-)


Sometimes I have to spread it over two courses...
