We have two chains offering online purchasing:
Safeway and Raley's (Northern Cal)
IME, Safeway is a distant second; frequent deliveries w/missing items, failure to notify if an item is out of stock, etc.
Safeway charges $8.95 to deliver and you must be available for a four hour period. Raley's does not deliver but only charges $4.95 to pull, bag and when you arrive, load your loot into your car *and* they will have it ready in a 1/2 hour window.
Raley's OTOH *always* calls if/when a substitution is nec., one can attach a note to each item ordered, e.g., "smallest Brussels Sprouts please" and so on.
Just my experience, YMMV
