Safeway and Albertsons. There's also a couple that use FedEx for
pharmaceutical deliveries but I haven't looked into those yet.

Why do you still need to do this? If the products you are ordering have
set details already, there's one less detail to worry about. No "picker"
would load bad food (bruised, molding, etc.) into an order on purpose.
That has too many (short-term _AND_ long-reaching) ramifications. Given
the times I've used Safeway, and Webvan (when it was a going-concern),
I've never had to worry about the quality when ordering perishables --
and I'm just as snobbish as you when it comes to my food. Petty
attitudes such as you exhibit will keep home-delivery from becoming a
reality.
