Actually, this is part of a pilot program that Amazon is developing to compete with Peapod. If you look into it, you will see that things either are only available for overnight delivery or in certain areas. Eventually, they will have the exact same delivery type that Peapod does (you fill out your order, someone picks it from a local warehouse and a truck shows up. Currently this is only available in Seattle.
But, you know, rather than actually looking into it, go ahead and continue with your baseless indignation!

Oh come now, baseless indignation is the best kind of indignation!
Why no, I don't have anything meaningful to add to the thread. Yes, I'll go sit in the corner now.

Did you even look at the link you posted? You do realize that they are selling uncanned fruit, meat and vegetables right? You didn't look at the link at all. Thanks for answering my question. |

You have overlooked the fresh fruit category, especially for food that originated outside of the United States. A package does not mean canned or preserved, such fruit have a limited time until spoilage. Most of this time is spent in transit thus reducing the quality of the fruit delivered. |

Okay, this is from somebody who worked for a produce processing company. We got food from overseas on a regular basis. It was fine. Also, shocker, it was refrigerated the entire way and then stored in a cooler. ETA: Another thing I feel like saying, if produce is uncut, it lasts for a surprisingly long time. It's when you cut it that you drastically reduce the shelf life. |

My ex actually briefly worked for the logistical side of things in this arm of Amazon; It is quite literally just a grocer's warehouse type affair, with order tickets in-house, at which point the grunts trundle through, pick-and-pack your order, then it goes out on a local truck. It's really no different from what goes on with any other grocery delivery service.
