I am surprised you would think PPOD is an excellent internet value. I do not know if you are fully aware of how my Thanksgiving dinner was thrown off by my turkey being delivered the day after Thanksgiving. If Winn-Dixie hadn't been open, we would have been stuck with day-old pizza. I would like to give peapod another chance, but am hesitant to order through them for Christmas foods.

Problem is the darn Profit margin on that company and any grocer for that matter. Typically the industry captures approx. 1 -2 % of the total gross, and that is before delivery charges which PPOD does have to conquer. I know some of its transferd to the customer however you know as well as i do that there is no way in the world they are going to make money on the delivery portion of this business. Any thoughts.
