      Take a few seconds to think before replying.

      What’s better, 30 deliveries in 1 van or 30 deliveries in 30 cars?

        Okay but this isn’t what happens. When using services like instacart they will batch only maybe two or three orders in a car. Unless there are other services that I’m not aware of that will batch more?

        I don’t think grocery translates well to mass delivery because it increases rates of spoilage and damaged produce.

          I live in UK and all the major supermarkets do 20-50 deliveries in one fully refrigerated van. You do have to book it a couple of days in advance but that’s the cost of the service, obviously you can get Uber and deliveroo instant deliveries but that’s dumb as fuck.

          This is clearly a culture difference between where I live and wherever you live (please share that info)

          But yes it’s EXACTLY how it works in most of Europe.
