It's a great convenience. I can just go to the store's website, decide "I want some of this and some of that," and click, click, they're on their way. As I no longer drive (and don't have a car anyway), it is a necessity.

Yeah, there are a few bugs in the system (the other day, the driver said he was "unable to deliver" my order and took it back to the store), but overall it works just fine, and I don't risk getting shot if some madman decides today's the day to shoot up the local Wal-mart.
