At least in the UK, most of the major supermarkets offer delivery for fees of around £4, last I knew. And at the end of the day, much of the US lives in places that aren't that different in terms of population density to the UK.

I might be mistaken but I think that groceries are generally more expensive in the UK, so people there might be willing to pay more for delivery because it's a lower relative cost.
