Uber starts same-day grocery delivery service in US

I was just telling my wife that getting somebody to go to Costco for me would be a game changer. Somebody else takes my list and deals with all the people blocking the aisle to get their 5 cents of sample cheese or just because they rudely leave their cart in the middle? The stress reduction alone would be worth the money.

I'm using Amazon Fresh and the savings from not eating out due to my laziness-based avoidance of the grocery store is going to pay for it easily.

Those are my kids running around getting samples. Sorry.

Google Express has integrated Costco, although that doesn't help if you're outside the bay area.

What city do you live in? Instacart offers one hour Costco deliveries in my city (Boston) right now.

How can Instacart afford to be so fast and so cheap? ($5.99 delivery in an hour) I mean, there's at least about an hour of human labor involved in each one hour delivery.
