Unless it's not sourceable locally I'd rather just go to the store. Maybe I'm old fashioned.
That $6 charge is pretty low to make any real money on. It should cost more than that just to have someone pick the order let alone the delivery time in wages and fuel costs.
Thats why the whole grocery delivery idea has never taken off. There isn't much demand for it and at $6.00 how the hell could the grocery store even cover the costs?
How can grocery stores make any money on 2 liter Pepsi's for $.99? These are called "loss leaders" and they get people in to the store or, in the case of delivery, gets them hooked on the service, which then allows them to raise the rate after the service is established.

I wonder how that works. I have Safeway and Albertson's home delivery in my area. If no one's home do they leave it? I've never seen any groceries left at the front or back door. What happens if they need a re-attempt? extra surcharge?
I do not think that charging tax is going to make a huge difference in Amazon's volume. They already have a large customer based hooked on their services, a slight increase in cost is not going to change that.
This is one of the reasons Borders is out of business----people, myself included, would go there, browse and then go to Amazon to buy.
Blockbuster announced on Friday that they will be closing their remaining 300+ stores.
