What I really need is a service that can deliver milk and eggs and other staples in a day, seems like most cant do that.

  Safeway delivers. Pretty sure it's not free, but not sure if they have a delivery fee or a minimum order.

    Safeway usually has deals like "buy x of these items for free delivery", so I never paid for delivery using them. They're pretty good, but not same day.

  Amazon Fresh (https://fresh.amazon.com https://fresh.amazon.com) is in Northern CA, but I don't think they service the south bay yet.

I totally agree. I was really excited about GSX when I first heard about them from Costco. However when you dig deeper into what they will deliver from Costco (or other stores for that matter) perishable items like milk, eggs, etc. are for some reason not on the list. It essentially makes the service useless for me since I'll have to go to those stores to get my regular perishable items anyway.

In Sweden we've had this since 2010 or 2011 I think. Not as in: "You go to an online store, add milk and eggs to the shopping cart and get it delivered". The way most of these online stores do it in Sweden is that they have different types of "bags" you subscribe to. Each week you'll get a bag of the stuff you'd need for five meals. With that bag, you'll get recipies for food they think you should cook with the groceries. This was (might still be, I have no idéa tbh) widely popular in Sweden. One of the most popular is Linas matkasse and a (bad-ish) google translate is available here: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linasmatkasse.se%2F&edit-text= https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&pr... --- This developed to others opening up business. I know of a guy who started a night-shop-delivery kind of thing. Basically, when all the stores are closed, you could go to his site and order stuff (milk, candy, condoms, tampons or other things someone could need at night) and he'd deliver it to you (in Stockholm).

  Would love to use this service, but instacart does not service my neighborhood yet! Zipcode 95123 in San Jose.

    Instacart has been a game changer in Chicago. (I knew peapod existed but have been following instacart since they launched). Nothing like not having a car and needing 24 packs of pop for a party.
