A way that doesn't suck?

Hey, almost everything else is easy to do that way, groceries should be, too.

Groceries tend to be either one of three things:

1) Perishable
2) Heavy
3) Fragile

Shipping doesn't work well with any of that.

Sure it does, you deliver from the closest B&M store in the chain, or if you're like FD, you build a huge distribution center and lose tons of money.

Online grocery experiment failed. Ask Webvan which wasted over billion dollars.
