I just read this article: Safeway widens delivery of Web orders and I had to point out how cool I think it is that a grocery store is taking up the charge of offering web based order and grocery fulfillment again. I’m hoping it works out this time around, and that they don’t go down in flames like the others did a few years ago.

On the same subject, I have to point out that I think Papa John’s Pizza has the slickest (and quickest) online order to fulfillment system on the internet (that I’ve ever used). They offer a quick login or registration process to being with, and then offer 5 or so quick order options, plus their entire menu online, so you can easily order something on special quick, or you can order something special and customized, if you wish.

And, they then guarantee a quick and painless delivery.

(And the pizza is damn good too, btw)

The only complaint I have is that they won’t take a credit card order through their website, but then again, that means if they get the order wrong, or forget to deliver your order, you don’t have to deal with the issues of your credit card being charged and the product not being delivered…

Good e-commerce in the service sectors and industries is still hard to find, and it’s nice to find them when you can.
